Curry, Thompson Bring Warriors To 20-0
In a 116-99 loss to defending National Basketball Association champion Golden State, the Charlotte Hornets lacked physicality.
Turning PointsCharlotte remained within striking distance at halftime but things slipped away quickly in the third quarter as Steph Curry completely took over the game, scoring 28 of Golden State’s 33 points to give the Warriors a 21-point lead heading into the fourth. “I couldn’t ask for more, to play like I did and get the win”.
However, Warriors center Andrew Bogut tapped the ball back out to, you guessed, it an open Steph Curry in the corner for three. Let us know in the comments.

He also recorded consecutive games with 30 points or more for the second time in his career.
Keeping the interview on a light tone, Curry was half-joking in his tone, the Warriors superstar did use his team as a justification for why the Panthers could go 19-0, including the playoffs, in 2015. Andre Drummond hit a pair from the line with 14.3 seconds left to tie the game at 112.
Paul George is now in the midst of a streak of 13 games played scoring 20 or more points. I was able to make some good shots. Nic Batum led the Hornets with 17 points and eight rebounds.
George’s story, his numbers, and Indiana’s somewhat unexpected (or at least premature) success makes him deserving of the nod.
After the game, Curry shared a hug with Newton and they talked about planning time to hang out.
PG led the conference in points and is 4th in the league at the moment as the Pacers sit on a 12-5 record after last night’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Hornets Player of the GameFrank Kaminsky had his best outing as a professional, finishing with a career-high 16 points on 5-of-8 shooting, which included a flawless 3-of-3 from three-point range.
Hornets coach Steve Clifford tipped his hat to the Warriors. “We got beat up again on the glass and we have to have someone who is willing to hit people in there”. The Warriors travel to Toronto for the third of what will be a seven-game road trip. Their season-opening winning streak matched the longest in history out of the four major North American team sports. Charlotte will travel to face the Chicago Bulls Saturday in their next game. Curry notched his sixth 40-point game in the first 20, becoming the first player to do so since Michael Jordan, the Hornets’ owner.
