Stephen Curry, Paul George Named Players of the Month

The Warriors will square off against the Charlotte Hornets at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina tonight. He hit 10 of 11 shots from the field, including all five 3s – many from well beyond the arc and in the face of a defender – to help the Warriors build a 21-point lead.

“Curry”™s outburst in the third matched his career high for scoring in any quarter. The star point guard now has five 20 point quarters in the season, which is impressive considering that nobody else has more than one.

It was like a giant hand reached up and turned back the clock Wednesday on the 20-year veteran who showed off some vintage moves including pull-up jumpers and fadeaway field goals with the sell-out Washington crowd of 20,300 applauding him. Overall, Curry shot 14 of 18 FGs including 8 of 11 from 3-point range. The numbers were in less than 31 minutes of play.

Curry turned what was a relatively stress-free game for the defending National Basketball Association champions into a rout. The record is now held by Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls at 72 wins. The team will visit the Toronto Raptors in three days. Klay Thompson in particular was bombing threes in the first.

Earlier this season, the Clippers could only watch as their 23-point lead disappeared and turned into a loss at the hands of Golden State. Maybe that will get Steph off his game. Charlotte is now 10-8 in the season. The NBA’s reigning MVP, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry, is averaging almost 32 points per game along with seven dimes, and he thinks the Warriors will wind up losing before the Panthers do. Fittingly, he also made more three-pointers on Wednesday night (eight) than Dell did in any game of his 16-year career. Combined with four wins to close out last season, the Warriors now have a 24-game regular-season winning streak. The previous record was 31 games by Ray Allen (2005-06) and Ryan Anderson (2012-13), according to Elias research.

The Warriors couldn’t quite get into the offensive rhythm that they had in the first, though there were some bright spots. Which team has the biggest chance of ending their undefeated run?
