Best of NBA: Stephen Curry gets 40, Warriors go to 20-0

Stephen Curry also kept rolling, playing in front of a friendly crowd in his home state of North Carolina, Curry dropped 40 points, including 28 in the third quarter. “The NBA has so many great teams, great talent”.

Curry dominated in the key third quarter and had Golden State in such complete control that he sat down for the fourth quarter. “There is a lot to be said about being 20-0 but we aren’t satisfied”. “He knows the ball’s going in before the rest of us”. He then went on to play 10 seasons in Charlotte and is still the franchise’s all-time leader in points, three-pointers, and games played. The honour was performed at the halftime ceremony. The Warrior’s came out and passed with goal and played their game. He hit 10 of 11 shots from the field to help the Warriors build a 21-point lead. “I can’t ask for more”, Curry said. “It’s real special to watch”. He made eight of 11 from deep, and went nuts in the third quarter.

Earlier in the week, interim coach Luke Walton was named the NBA’s coach of the month as the Warriors remained the league’s only unbeaten team. “That’s why he’s MVP of the league”.

“That’s a hell of a good pick and I think that his upside is going to be kind of whatever he wants it to be”, Brown said.

“It says a lot about our focus night in, night out, we don’t always play our best but we just try to find different ways to win and that’s the strength of our team”.

LA Lakers 108, Washington Wizards 104: Kobe Bryant tossed in 12 of his season-high 31 points in the fourth quarter, including the go-ahead triple with 58 seconds left. Curry, who committed five turnovers, was too much to handle in needing only 18 shots to score 40.

Pau Gasol had 26 points and 19 rebounds to lead Chicago over struggling Denver.

So far this season, Green is averaging 12.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.1 assists a game on 48 percent shooting.

Klay Thompson was the only other Golden State player in double figures with 21, 15 of those coming in the first quarter.

76ers suspend Okafor for two games • The Philadelphia 76ers said Wednesday night they are immediately suspending center Jahlil Okafor for two games, expressing disappointment for recent behavior including a fight outside a Boston nightclub and reckless driving on a bridge. Curry got there in the third quarter of his 20th game in 2015-16.

The 20-0 start for the Warriors is the longest streak to open a season in National Basketball Association history. Indiana’s Paul George won the Eastern Conference award.
