Warriors Reach 20-0

He had 28 points in the third period when the Warriors took charge.

Curry, who grew up in Charlotte and played collegiately at nearby Davidson, finished 14 of 18 from the field and eight of 11 from 3-point range. “Especially on top of my dad’s ceremony”. “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”. He scored at least 40 points five times, including an NBA-season-high 53 points in a 134-120 win at New Orleans on October 31.

Curry notched his sixth 40-point game of the season.

Athletic director Jim Murphy said he’s not even sure how the school would go about bending the rules for Curry if they wanted to. “The NBA has so many great teams, great talent”. It says a lot about our focus night in and night out. That’s the strength of our team.

The Warriors (20-0) were in control throughout, racing to a 28-13 lead midway through the first quarter and building the lead to as many as 26 in the second half.

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. Curry dominated in the key third quarter and had Golden State in such complete control that he sat down for the fourth quarter. After the Hornets forced Curry to give up the ball to an open Draymond Green, Green missed the three-pointer.

After the game, Curry shared a hug with Newton and they talked about planning time to hang out.

“Klay Thompson added 21 points, scoring 15 of the Warriors”™ 32 points in the first quarter. Leading scorer Kemba Walker finished with just four points on 2-of-16 shooting.

Said forward Marvin Williams, who scored six points and six rebounds against the Warriors: “We have to do a better job collectively rebounding”.

Hornets coach Steve Clifford tipped his hat to the Warriors.

“He wanted to put on a show for his hometown”. Dell had a velvet shooting stroke that was launched quickly, and luckily for the Warriors, he usually toted along Steph and obviously left a lasting basketball impression. Frankly, we didn’t play that well.

It’s one thing to see the fans at Oracle Arena going insane over Curry’s antics on the court. Everybody has to be willing to hit somebody and hold their man out and go get the ball. And yet, there were a few people in the building who knew the feeling, and they had courtside seats and rooting interest in the visiting team. But we have to compete.

Thankfully for Kerr and the Warriors, there isn’t a rush for Kerr to get back to coaching.

The Warriors had a scare on Friday when starter Harrison Barnes rolled his ankle and left the contest against the Phoenix Suns.
