Curry scored 42 points in 30 minutes and the Golden State Warriors improved to 3-0 on the road with a 130-102 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night.
Chris Paul scored 13 points off the bench, leading Golden State on a 13-1 run at the end of the third quarter that gave the Warriors a 98-78 lead. A combination of injuries and load management had sidelined Curry for games in New Orleans in recent seasons becae they often were scheduled as the second of back-to-back games.
“Hey, you wanted to see him, New Orleans,” Pelicans radio play-by-play announcer Todd Graffagnini exclaimed as one of the long early 3s went down. “Be careful what you wish for.”
