Watch Stephen Curry’s First 100 Three-Pointers of the Season
Curry watched at halftime as his father and former Charlotte star Dell Curry was featured in a half-time ceremony then followed up with a 28-point third quarter as the Golden State Warriors easily defeated the Hornets 116-99. But Golden State needs just one more win before Carolina plays next.
When you take into consideration those that made 200 or more shots, Stephen Curry was surprisingly just the 4th best shooter, but he has taken over 1,600 shots in that time span, while none of the other three had close to half of that amount.

“That’s why he’s the MVP of the league”, Warriors interim coach Luke Walton said. Curry dominated in the key third quarter and had Golden State in such complete control that he sat down for the fourth quarter. “We all have to do a better job-starting with me”.
Nicolas Batum led Charlotte (10-8) with 17 points, eight rebounds, three steals and two blocks. “I knew all my family was in the crowd, and I knew they were happy”, said Curry, postgame.
But you won’t be seeing Curry’s college jersey high in the rafters at Davidson for one pretty reasonable reason.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Charlotte Hornets broadcaster Dell Curry told his son before Wednesday night’s game, “do not ruin my night”. Klay Thompson finished with 21 points, 15 of which came in the first quarter. “We got beat up again on the glass, and everyone thinks it’s Al Jefferson’s (whose 13.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game were unavailable with a left calf strain) scoring, but we have to have someone who is willing to hit people in there”.
“It’s getting surreal, for sure”, Curry said. Point guard Kemba Walker was held to four points on 2-for-16 shooting.
Chicago center Pau Gasol had 26 points and 19 rebounds to lead the Bulls to a 99-90 comeback win over the Denver Nuggets at the United Center.
“The Hornets never truly threatened the Warriors” streak.
Andre Drummond, the worst free throw shooter in National Basketball Association history, hit a pair from the line with 14.3 seconds left to tie the game at 112, and Eric Bledsoe missed an off-balance jumper at the buzzer.
