Hot Curry powers Warriors past Pelicans in opener
Print Edition
Reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry showed he hasn鈥檛 lost a step or his swagger in the offseason, scoring 40 points to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 111-95 victory over the New Orleans Hornets in Oakland, California, as the new season began on Tuesday.
Curry put on a familiar shooting clinic from all over the court, knocking down seven of his first nine shots, with four 3-pointers, for 24 first-quarter points. He finished 14 for 26 with seven assists and six rebounds in a rematch of last season鈥檚 first-round playoff series that Golden State swept 4-0.
In the other openers, Chicago had a narrow victory over Cleveland and Detroit had a more comfortable win at Atlanta.
Curry and the Warriors raised the championship banner and received their rings in a pregame ceremony. Coach Steve Kerr attended, then left for the locker room to rest his surgically repaired back as interim Luke Walton coached the team.
New Orleans鈥 Anthony Davis, who averaged 29.5 points and 12.5 rebounds in two games against Golden State last season, shot just 4 for 20 and scored 10 of his 18 points on free throws.
Chicago鈥檚 Nikola Mirotic scored 19 points and Derrick Rose added 18 to lead the Bulls past the visiting Cavaliers 97-95.
LeBron James scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for Cleveland, but the Cavaliers came up short against the team they knocked out in the conference semifinals last season.
All five Detroit starters reached double figures in points as the Pistons won 106-94 over the Hawks in Atlanta.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 21 points for the Pistons, who finished 28 games behind the Hawks last season, but began to pull away just before halftime.
