Curry’s ability to come off screens like he did against the Timberwolves makes life incredibly easy for Green to get assists.

“Seems like he was hot for a long time and it seems like he’s never gonna get cold”, Rubio said.
Before those shots, Curry had started the game 4 for 14 from the field.
Curry, who has broken the league record for 3-pointers made in a season each of the last two years, is on pace to smash it again. So then you sit there and you wonder, okay, if you don’t do those things and just try to play conventionally, he might get 60.
Curry blew up for 21 of his team’s 40 points in the first quarter and had 11 points in the fourth quarter to seal it.
Curry, who shot 15 of 25 from the field, including 8 three-pointers, scored 21 of his total points in the first quarter on his way to collecting his second-highest tally of the season, following his 53 point performance against the New Orleans Pelicans on October 31.
“He was decent tonight”.
Griz point guard Mike Conley said bouncing back is nothing new, and his teammates are hardly intimidated by the Warriors’ pop-a-shot basketball style.
“He’s just so risky”. He’s always in an attack mode.
It is no surprise that the Warriors have gone 10-0 in that time, setting another franchise record for the best start to a campaign. The Warriors have jumped out to a 9-0 start and have been seemingly unstoppable in the process.
“Definitely a good start to the season, best start we could have hopes for”, Curry said.
The Timberwolves, who are 4-0 on the road this season, dropped to 0-4 at home.
The Timberwolves whittled the lead down to six points after they went on a 12-0 run that saw Shabazz Muhammad come off the bench to score eight straight points.
The Warriors went 18 for 38 from 3-point range while Minnesota was just 3 for 9.
Minnesota kept shooting the ball well and tried to keep up with the Warriors ferocious scoring pace, but Golden State finished the half off in champion-like fashion and led 75-63 after two.
Stephen Curry scored 17 of his 28 points in the third quarter in the win and became the first Warriors player since Latrell Sprewell in 1994-95 to score 20 or more points in each of the first nine games.
“I was hoping he was going to be done”, Walton said.
Towns had yet another big game with 17 points and 11 rebounds in only 30 minutes of play.
Curry made back-to-back 3-pointers to help extend the lead to 97-76 late in the third quarter.
“We can obviously talk about it and stuff”, Curry said, “but talk about how hard of a task that is and how great that Bulls team was”. “When the team fights, anything is possible”.

All five Warriors’ starters finished in double-figure scoring. We kind of got back in, we got a few stops.
