Afterward, he said he could not have imagined a better evening, especially since the Hornets honored his father Dell as their all-time scoring leader in a ceremony at halftime. The Hornets trailed by nine points at halftime, but it was 93-72 for Golden State at the end of the third quarter. They lead the league with 21.3 fast-break points per game, 3.1 more than any other team. Perhaps most impressively he’s shooting better from 3-point range (46.3%) than he is overall (45.5%) this season.
“But they’ve shown signs over the last two or three years that they’re elevating to that next level, so it’s just great to see everything click, the way Coach Rivera is handling that team and the decisions they’ve got to make on both sides of the ball”.
Curry has six 40-point games already this season. At least three of the 3-pointers were 30-footers. His performance was so good that the crowd applauded.
November 24 @ Washington: Scored 40 points (on 14-for-19 shooting) and grabbed eight rebounds in a 123-106 win over the Wizards. The numbers were in less than 31 minutes of play.
The Warriors extended their record for consecutive wins to begin a season, and made it 26 straight wins overall dating to last season. The Warriors also extended their regular season winning streak to 24.
Before discussing the merits of the Toronto Raptors star and resident of Over Everything, it’s worth acknowledging that George had a terrific month himself.
Klay Thompson added 21 points, scoring 15 of the Warriors’ 32 in the first quarter.
But, as Nash suggests, if you look at the beauty and complexity of Curry’s game, maybe that wouldn’t be so bad.
You can imagine the result: Just as Jordan’s career produced thousands of players trying to dunk every time they touched the ball, Curry’s highlight reel could create legions of three-point shooters who can’t actually shoot. Charlotte is now 10-8 in the season.
So far this season he’s been averaging 27.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists, as well as 1.6 steals a game.
The Golden State Warriors have surpassed all expectation, as they now stand alone and undefeated at the top of the Western Conference, with a record of 20-0.
