He hit 10 of 11 shots from the field, including all five 3s &#8211; many from well beyond the arc and in the face of a defender &#8211; to help the Warriors build a 21-point cushion.<\/p>\n<p>He sat out the entire fourth quarter due to the big lead and didn&#8217;t get a shot to break his career high of 54<br \/>He said the 20-0 start to the season seems surreal.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas Batum led Charlotte with 17 points and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Klay Thompson had 15 of his 21 points in the first quarter as the Warriors bolted to an early 15-point lead.<\/p>\n<p>Despite missing the inside presence of center Al Jefferson &#8211; out at least two weeks with a strained left calf &#8211; and 0-for-8 shooting from Kemba Walker in the first half, the Hornets fought back to cut the lead to 60-51 at the break.<\/p>\n<p>But midway through the third quarter Curry got rolling, launching deep 3-pointers, several times turning and jogging back down court well before the ball even went through the net.<\/p>\n<p>Curry hit jumpers from 24, 25, 30, 29 and 30 feet in the third period.<\/p>\n<p>It marked the fourth time this season Curry has scored 40 points by the end of the third quarter. The rest of the NBA combined has reached that mark just once.<\/p>\n<p>Curry has six 40-point games already this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-24427\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/basketball-260.jpg\" alt=\"basketball 260\" width=\"259\" height=\"162\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/basketball-260.jpg 259w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/basketball-260-150x94.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/>CHARLOTTE:<\/strong> Charlotte Hornets broadcaster Dell Curry told his son before Wednesday night&#8217;s game.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Stephen Curry ignored his father altogether.<\/p>\n<p>The reigning MVP scored 40 points in three quarters and the Golden State Warriors easily defeated the Hornets 116-99 to extend the best start in NBA history to 20-0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24427,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[12784,12785,466,1596,12699],"class_list":["post-24428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world-basketball-news","tag-charlotte-hornets","tag-dell-curry","tag-indian-sports-news","tag-nba","tag-stephen-curry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NBA: Curry scores 40, Warriors top Hornets 116-99 to go 20-0 - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.com\/?p=24428\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NBA: Curry scores 40, Warriors top Hornets 116-99 to go 20-0 - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"CHARLOTTE: Charlotte Hornets broadcaster Dell Curry told his son before Wednesday night&#039;s game.
