Washington, Oct. 25 (U.S.): Smooth as ever at the start of his 14th NBA season, Stephen Curry rocked Tyler Hero and made it look too easy, reports The Associated Press.
Curry scored 10 of 33 points in a tight fourth quarter to achieve nine assists and seven rebounds to lead the Golden State Warriors to victory over the Miami Heat 123-110 on Thursday night.
He hit his chest with both hands and screamed in delight after a superb sequence where he crossed twice to lose Herro, then fell back and sank into the 3 pointer with 5:32 remaining which put Golden State ahead 108-100.
“It was a great move,” said fellow Draymond Green. “He’s got where he wants to be. Once he made Tyler open his back leg, he was kind of dead at that point. Steve is incredible and he’s playing really well at the start of this year, which is to be expected. He keeps improving, and it’s scary that this continues.” The guy is getting better. Watching him is very interesting and fun.”
Jimmy Butler scored 27 points, Adebayo 26 and Kyle Lowery 12 points and eight assists for Miami in their second consecutive game after a 119-98 win in Portland on Wednesday.
Lowry missed 3 from the top before going 6:11 would have equalized and then swamped Kevin Looney moments later as the Warriors rebounded after a 134-105 win in Phoenix on Tuesday as a frustrated Thompson was sent off for the first time in his career.
Two nights later, Thompson played 29 minutes long. Curry’s Splash Brother was still building his full minutes and was 8 of 28 out of a 3-point range, and he missed all five of his attempts against the Suns on Tuesday before a 5-for-14 outing against the Heat.
