The Golden State Warriors defeated the Charlotte Hornets 126 - 111 at Oracle Arena on Wednesday. The Splash Brothers, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, took care of business leading the Warriors (42 - 7) in a rout over the Hornets (23 - 27) at home. Golden State scored 77 points in the first half, and the Curry-Thompson combination each scored 26 points. Curry went on to knock down 11 three pointers, while Thompson added six of his own. The Hornets had no answer for the hot shooting back court, granted, getting into a shootout with the Warriors when they are on fire is never something that has worked out for opponents in Oracle Arena. Frank Kaminsky put together the best performance for the Hornets in his bench role, as he scored 24 points on 9 - of - 14 shooting, while Kemba Walker was silenced to just seven points in 25 minutes. Nicolas Batum was also held to a lowly 13 points, however, he did hit 3 - of - 4 from behind the arc. Curry went on to finish with a game high 39 points on 11 - of - 15 shooting from behind the arc. The reigning MVP added eight assists and five rebounds. Thompson scored 29 points and cooled off in the second half. Kevin Durant scored 18 points on 17 shots, but added eight assists and eight boards. Next up, the Warriors play the second game of a back - to - back when they visit the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, while the Hornets visit the Jazz on Saturday.
