The Golden State Warriors (32 - 2) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (17 - 17) 111 - 101 on Monday. Charlotte entered Oracle Arena with an above .500 record as part of an impressive start to the 2015 - 2016 season. While the game was never as close as the final score came out to be, the Hornets played well as a unit and moved the ball fluidly against the league’s best team. Kemba Walker, who has been on a tear over the last week, including two 30 - plus point performances, contributed 22 points, seven rebounds and three assists on 9 - of - 21 shooting. Most notably, Walker is finishing over 50 percent in the paint, a trend that many analysts are highlighting Stephen Curry for improving during the offseason as well. The UCONN product’s touch in the lane is up 10 percent from last season, and is a great sign for the point guard moving forward. The Hornets also look to Jeremy Lamb, who came over from Oklahoma City during the offseason, and matched Walker’s 22 points in 29 minutes off the bench. The loss of Al Jefferson for a reported six weeks is a major blow to the frontcourt, and Marvin Williams and Cody Zeller combo was only good eight points and 16 boards. Shooting 44 percent as a unit will likely get you a competitive game with solid chance at a win, but the Warriors completed 52 percent of their shots, which almost always will result in a loss for the opposition. The Hornets will look to bounce back when they visit the Phoenix Suns (12 - 25) on Wednesday. The Warriors extended their home winning streak to 17 games and Draymond Green complete a triple - double for the third straight game. The early MVP votes may be in favor of Stephen Curry right now, but Draymond Green’s all around impact on the floor is beginning to transcend the league's best forwards. Green finished with 13 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. Curry and Klay Thompson lit up the arena with 30 points, each, and combined to go 11 - for - 21 from 3 - point territory. The crowd welcomed back Harrison Barnes, who missed the last 16 games with an ankle injury, and pitched in 8 points in 20 minutes off the bench. Brandon Rush started in favor of Barnes, and added an efficient 10 points on 4 - of - 7 shooting. The Warriors head to Staples Center to face the Los Angeles Lakers (8 - 27) on Tuesday.
