Warriors' Record 3-Point Balance Rolls Hornets 136-116

De’Anthony Melton will miss Monday’s Heat game for left knee management, tightening Golden State’s bench rotation.

Overview

  • Golden State became the first NBA team to have at least 10 different players hit a 3-pointer in three straight games, per Elias, during Saturday’s win.
  • Eight Warriors scored in double figures and the team made 23 threes, with De’Anthony Melton leading off the bench with 24 points and Draymond Green adding 20.
  • Stephen Curry faced constant face-guarding and traps and called the approach “not real basketball,” while Green labeled it “gimmicky.”
  • The victory marked a third straight win and a 5-1 start to an eight-game homestand, with a back-to-back against the Heat and Raptors up next.
  • For Monday vs. Miami, Melton, Seth Curry and Gui Santos are out and Draymond Green is probable; the Heat list Tyler Herro out, and Jimmy Butler is expected back against his former team as Andrew Wiggins returns to Chase Center.
