Curry’s 46 lift Warriors to 10-0 start with win over Wolves

Fans fairly filled Target Center on Thursday night, a good number of them wearing blue No. 30 Golden State jerseys, and Stephen Curry didn’t disappoint in his team’s 129-116 victory over the Timberwolves.

Of course, the Warriors put Curry back in and ended dreams of an upset. “You sit there and wonder, if you don’t do those things and you just try to play him conventionally, he might get 60”.

Stephen Curry finished with 46 points, his third 40-point game of the season, and the Warriors stayed undefeated.

“He was decent tonight”. Assistant coach Luke Walton has guided the team in Kerr’s absence.

“Steph is just so risky all of the time …”

It was primarily the Wolves second unit once again that was able to keep the game from getting out of control as they went on a 12-0 run to end the third. He’s always in an attack mode.

It’s becoming more and more evident that this Warriors team, on something of a crusade to shut up all those who criticized their way of winning a championship last season, is on its way to being remembered as one of the great dynasties.

The Warriors (10-0) were clobbered on the glass, 47-33, but offset that aspect by pouring in a season-high 18 3-pointers on 38 attempts beyond the arc. “I mean we went to Atlanta and we beat them when they’d won seven in a row”. Most players have enough trouble hoisting 27-footers with their normal shooting motion.

Andrew Wiggins led Minnesota with 19 points while rookie Karl Anthony-Towns continued to look good, picking up his sixth double-double (17 points, 11 caroms).

Four other Warriors scored in double figures — all starters — as Draymond Green put in 23 points, Klay Thompson had 15, Harrison Barnes finished with 14 and Festus Ezeli added 10. They’re automatic. Case in point: this video of Curry during pre-game warm-ups before his Golden State Warriors took on the Detroit Pistons last night.

Curry has averaged 28.3 points and 9.7 assists over his past six versus Minnesota. Curry already has four in 10 games.

Golden State’s 75 first half points were the highest scoring single half by any National Basketball Association team this season.

However, the Wolves closed the quarter on an 11-0 run, capped by guard Kevin Martin’s 18-foot jumper at the buzzer to pull within 97-87.

“I’m pleased with all our young guys because this is a hard business to be in when you’re so young”, coach Sam Mitchell said. “When you let your foot off the gas pedal, when you get into a funk and then not play like ourselves for a couple of games, you don’t know what’s going to happen”. It is just reads and the flow of the offense. While a win was unlikely, seeing a team fight and be competitive against the best team in the league is all anyone could have asked for.
