"The Warriors made 23 of 52 3-pointers. It marked the third consecutive game the team had made at least 20 triples in three consecutive games, a team record according to Warriors statistics expert Darryl Arata. They also became the first franchise to have at least 10 players make a 3-pointer in three consecutive games. Steph Curry put in 14 points and De'Anthony Melton scored 24, while Richard put in 11 in the spot start."
"Showing the kind of form that had helped the team go 4-1 to start the ongoing 8-game Warriors homestand, they led 69-57 at halftime, with both Green and Podziemski scoring exactly 10 points. Melton helped spur the Warriors to a strong third quarter finish by scoring 13 points, taking advantage of Charlotte's pillow soft perimeter defense to slice to the rim almost at will. Golden State led 112-94 after three quarters."
Playing at Chase Center without Jimmy Butler, who was a late scratch for personal reasons, the Warriors turned to unexpected scorers. Draymond Green scored 20 points including four 3-pointers, while Brandin Podziemski added 16 off the bench and rookie Will Richard started and scored 11. Golden State made 23 of 52 from three-point range, marking a franchise stretch of three straight games with at least 20 triples and becoming the first franchise to have at least 10 players make a 3 in three consecutive games. De'Anthony Melton scored 24, Steph Curry had 14, and the Warriors won 136-116.
