KUMINGA AND CURRY START STRONG

10-0 RUN GIVES DUBS DOUBLE-DIGIT LEAD

Kuminga accounted for the first half of the run, hitting a 3-pointer and then stealing the ball for a breakaway dunk. Then, Klay Thompson hit a three from the right corner and Draymond Green capped the run with a crafty hesitation dribble, baiting the defender into clearing the paint for an easy layup.
Kuminga ended the half with 18 points, while Andrew Wiggins joined him in double figures with 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting.

Andrew Wiggins with the must-see play!
FIRST TO 300 THREES

His Splash Brother, Klay Thompson, most recently hit a league-leading 301 threes last season.
What a shot by Stephen Curry
CP3 BREAKS FRANCHISE RECORD WITH STELLAR AST-TOV RATIO
