Golden State Warriors set franchise record with 10-0 start

In the opening 132 seconds, Curry already had nine points, two steals, one rebound and one assist.

The Warriors are only the fourth defending champion to start a season with 10 consecutive victories. The 1960-61 Warriors opened 9-0.

Through eight games this year, Steph Curry is averaging 31.9 points per game, the highest average in the National Basketball Association, and is on pace to make around 400 3-pointers this year, shattering his previous record of 286 three’s made.

The Wolves have been one of the surprise packages at this early stage of the season, but the Warriors are just on another level and I can’t see anything but a win for Golden State.

The frightening aspect of his game is that now he is shooting from deeper positions, making it nearly impossible to guard his approach to the basket. Curry was nine of 21 from the field, but only three of 10 from three-point range. “You sit there and wonder, if you don’t do those things and you just try to play him conventionally, he might get 60”.

Curry scored 10 more in the third, including back-to-back threes as his team pushed the lead to their largest of the night at 21 points.

Left wide open at times, Curry hit eight 3-pointers and finished 15 for 25 from the field.

Draymond Green smiled after the Warriors’ 100-84 win against the Memphis Grizzlies while shaking his head vigorously and using his hand to brush the thought aside. “He was okay”, Walton finished with a smile.

PHOENIX – Brandon Knight matched his career high with 37 points and Eric Bledsoe fell an assist shy of his second career triple-double as Phoenix rolled past the severely depleted Clippers.

Warriors forward Harrison Barnes answered the first time with a three-pointer and then Shaun Livingston did the same after the Wolves had two layup attempts to get within three points but couldn’t convert.

To finish the quarter, Curry tipped and stole a pass before racing down the court and leaning in to hit a 40-foot buzzer beater that left him pumping his fist again as the Warriors led 74-63. However, Minnesota was able to get back into the game after being down as many as 18 by getting to the line and capitalizing on Golden State’s mistakes.

Curry scored 17 points in the third quarter, and his mood swings during that critical stage of the game told the story. Curry also has produced six-30 point games. Luckily for the Warriors, his absence was not any hindrance to the Warriors winning their franchise-best 10th straight game to start the season.

Derrick Favors led Utah with 25 points and 12 rebounds.

Mitchell said he wasn’t foolish enough to think the Wolves were a playoff-caliber team right now, even though they had beaten quality opponents and despite the talent of budding stars such as Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns.
