Warriors Riding Curry's Heat After Rocky Start
Stephen Curry's 44-point explosion fuels a second straight win, while Steve Kerr pushes for a rule change.
Three games into the season, the Warriors looked lost. Now they're finding their rhythm — and Stephen Curry is the one setting the tempo.
Curry dropped 44 points Wednesday night to carry Golden State past the Timberwolves, 119-114, per ESPN. It's the Warriors' second win in a row after an 0-3 start that had the fanbase sweating before Halloween even hit.
A 44-point night from Curry isn't just a box score line — it's a statement. After stumbling out of the gate, this is exactly the kind of performance that steadies a locker room and reminds everyone why the Warriors' ceiling stays high no matter how the schedule opens. Two straight wins don't erase three straight losses, but momentum is a real thing in this league, and right now it's trending the right way.
Kerr Wants the Whistle to Change
Off the court, Steve Kerr is making noise about a different kind of call. Per ESPN, Kerr — joined by Timberwolves coach Chris Finch — wants the NBA to rethink how it officiates flopping technicals, arguing the league should shift its focus toward protecting offensive play rather than policing theatrics.
It's a coach's gripe more than breaking news, but it's worth watching. Kerr has never been shy about using his platform to push the league on officiating points, and if this gains traction with other voices around the association, it could shape how games get called as the season rolls on.
For now, though, the bigger story in the Bay is the turnaround. Three losses to open the year could've spiraled. Instead, the Warriors answered with two straight, Curry's shot-making as the engine. The schedule will tell us whether this is a real course correction or just a nice couple of nights — but after an 0-3 start, nice couple of nights is exactly what this team needed.
