Warriors match franchise record
See a chance and let it fly.
So, how about if he’s on a record pace for 3s by season’s end? For comparison’s sake, the Wolves were 3-9 and have 43 attempts from deep over the past three games.
But Curry, who connected on a 62-footer at the end of the third quarter in the deciding Game 6 of the conference semifinals between the teams last season, made a 40-footer as the horn sounded at the end of the third Wednesday night.
The subject was how to develop young players while still trying to win.
“Any time he’s on the court, he’s just finding everybody for open shots, open dunks, alley-oops”, Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton said of Green. That is, if he isn’t already there. That’s a pretty good recipe for a win, especially against a team playing the second game of a back-to-back set. The only comparison Rivers can make is to a star from his youth: Pistol Pete Maravich.
Curry rarely slowed down during the short offseason, using the summer to improve his game and welcome a new daughter to join celebrity sister, Riley. Stephen Curry is balling like he wants to win back-to-back MVPs, and it will be his production that determines whether or not the Warriors can crack that 70-win barrier. The 39-year-old pressured Steph Curry to half court, forced him to take a long, covered triple, and even knocked the ball from his hands on the way up. In an interview, Curry told ESPN, “This is where the whole story started and I know how much the Davidson alumni and community supports me, so this is very special”. “That’s a good team and they fought back and got back into it”.
They are just the fourth defending champion to open a season with at least 10 wins. Curry has scored 237 points in 233 minutes so far this season.
“They’re undefeated. We’ve watched [Stephen Curry] and I think everyone’s watched him get out to those starts and it’s something we’ve talked about – it’s easier said than done”. “That’s too bad for all of us”.
But, the three home losses only illustrates half of the Timberwolves’ campaign.
Curry is more popular than ever, all around the country and around the world. Compared to the start of last season, sales of Curry’s jersey are up 581 percent and sales of his merchandise is up 453 percent this season. Golden State gear is also the top seller for National Basketball Association apparel.
The Warriors are winning no matter how much Curry shoots and they’re 10-0. Towns is the first player since the 1985-86 season to average 16 points and 10 rebounds over his first eight games. However, it is evident that the Warriors mean business, and with Draymond Green and Klay Thompson continuing to play crucial roles, along with the likes of Festus Ezeli stepping up and making more of a contribution, this unit has the flawless balance and attitude.
“Michael Jordan was a whole ‘nother thing and this guy is his own thing”, Minnesota’s Kevin Garnett said.
