The Golden State Warriors achieved a significant 119-101 win against the Charlotte Hornets, led by Brandin Podziemski's 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Steph Curry's return with 21 points and 10 assists. The Warriors never trailed in the game, although they experienced moments of struggle to establish rhythm. Draymond Green also contributed with a double-double. Coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the need for improvement, and this match showcased the Warriors' depth with three players recording double-doubles for the first time this season, despite concerns about their overall performance against a struggling Hornets team.
We didn't have much rhythm to the game for most of the night and finally broke through. It wasn't pretty, but we did what we had to do, Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the game.
Took control of the game when we needed to take control of the game, said Green, who finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 28 minutes.
When Curry exited in the first quarter, the Warriors led 24-12. Then Tidjane Salaun hit three 3-pointers against Butler and the bench, part of a 14-4 that cut the lead to two.
For the first time this season, the Warriors had three players record double-doubles: Curry, Podziemski and Green.
