Warriors keep on rolling, destroy Grizzlies by 50
No head coach or starting center? No problem.
The Golden State Warriors kept right on winning Monday, going to 4-0 on the young NBA season with a 119-69 pounding of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Reigning league MVP Stephen Curry, who came into the contest with a ridiculous 52.35 PER through three games, scored a seemingly more human 30 points coming off a 53-point performance Saturday. However, Curry scored 21 of the 30 in third quarter. He continued his scorching shooting by going 10-of-16 from the field and 4-of-8 from deep.
