Wolves ‘burnt’ by hot Curry
Curry is a monster and the Warriors are the champs and the Wolves are still the Wolves, but maybe on the second night of a back-to-back Minnesota can catch the Warriors for their first loss of the season? “You’ve got to learn how to play when you’re nicked up”, Mitchell said.
They have proved that they can perform under pressure and against tough opponents.
The shot was reminiscent of a 62-footer to end the third that Curry hit the last time the Warriors were at FedExForum, in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Curry is now shooting 53.2 percent from the field and 47.3 percent from three-point range.
“He was decent tonight”. Assistant coach Luke Walton has guided the team in Kerr’s absence. “At anytime he can go on a 6-0, 8-0 run just off of transition, getting a steal and pulling up for a 3”. He’s always in an attack mode.
At 10-0, the reigning champions are off to the best start in franchise history.
The Warriors opened defense of their title as emphatically as possible, using potshots from the likes of the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers as fuel while blowing the doors off the league.
Curry leads the National Basketball Association with 124 points on pull-up shots, 41 more than anybody else, and he is making over 40% of these shots. “It’s definitely a good start to the season and just want to keep it going”.
The Wolves played good offensively in the first half, shooting 51 percent from the floor. Point guard Steph Curry managed another stellar game, where he gained 28 points and five assists, while small forward Harrison Barnes earned 19 to contribute to the overall 100 points scored in the game.
That being said, he still left everyone speechless as he poured in 21 points in the first quarter alone, his fourth 20-point quarter of the season.
MIAMI – Chris Bosh scored 25 points, eight rebounds and four blocks, including a key one on Alec Burks, and the Miami Heat held on for a 92-91 win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday night.
After Andre Iguodala hit back-to-back 3-pointers in the second quarter to give the Warriors a 34-19 lead, Marc Gasol made his presence felt and scored nine of the Grizzlies’ last 11 points before halftime, all on free throws.
Guard Kevin Martin started the fourth with a three-pointer to get Minnesota back within single digits, and the Wolves clawed as close as 99-104 before the Warriors pulled away late.
Towns now averages a double-double with 15.5 points and 10 rebounds per game. Zach has been playing a lot of minutes and we know we’ve got a back to back and in a game like this, you’ve got to try to put a guy there with experience.
Cleveland, San Antonio, Oklahoma City – they all come to mind as teams that could beat the Warriors (not talking about in a series, but just in a game).
