Curry scores 44 as ideal Warriors beat Raptors 112-109
Just don’t mention that to DeMar DeRozan.
He wrote on Instagram: “I wanted to celebrate the 30 million friends that we are here, on Instagram, and say thanks to every one of you for all the support”.
“They’ve taken chemistry to a whole new level”, said Atlanta guard Kent Bazemore, who started his career with the Warriors and now admires them from afar.
Eventually, the Golden State Warriors are going to lose.
Golden State burst out to a 32-23 lead after 12 minutes in Wednesday’s game, but it was the third quarter in which Curry caught fire and scored the team’s final 24 points before taking the fourth quarter of the 116-99 victory off. They topped the Memphis Grizzlies by 50 early last month. Last season he went 10-for-10 from the field against the Warriors on November 13 at Oracle Arena. “It was nice to be out there at halftime and hear his speech and stand with my mom, my sister, my aunts and my grandma”, Curry said, according to the Associated Press. We fought hard, man. It just sucks. “It was something we expected, but it was definitely probably the closest one”.
There was a big buzz in the building Saturday, and the fans responded to Curry’s big buckets, and the seeming ease with which he hit them, with “oohs” and “ahs”. “Having confidence that I know that once I get into my spot, that I can have (enough) balance and strength to get it to the rim, and I know that when you go full speed and stop on a dime, you’re probably going to have the defense off balanced and create the space you need to be able to knock it down, and I was able to do that”.
“I thought the guys were very intent on playing together and really sharing the basketball and sending the message that they’re capable of doing that”, Knicks coach Derek Fisher said.
During his rant, Smith, who more than lived up to his “screamin A.” nickname, said that the Warriors are so good they barely require coaching, thereby diminishing what Walton has done in leading the team to a record 20-0 start. Wait – we could put Steph in slow motion. “That’s been our M.O”. “We proved that on the road at their place”.
The Warriors are an incredible team, not just because of the record, but because of the will to win. On a night the Hornets honoured Dell Curry, his son stole the spotlight, scoring 40 through three quarters before sitting the rest of the game. Smith has a point, but he’s far from the first one to make it, and certainly is the least eloquent one to do so. They had won two in a row and have a lot to fix before they host the unbeaten Golden State Warriors on Sunday. The Raptors had a possession to tie the score with five seconds left, but Curry sealed the win after providing the pressure on an inbound pass that went for a Cory Joseph turnover.
