Last Thursday, the Warriors played against long-time rivals, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and after going into the fourth quarter down double digits, they emerged victorious, winning by 15. The crazy part about it was that 20 of the 36 third-quarter points the Warriors scored were directly from Steph Curry, although he was the main reason (as we saw in Toronto) the rest were scored as well.

Since what many dubbed as his “revenge game” in Minnesota, Andrew Wiggins has been on a tear. Averaging 22.6 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game in the six-game stretch after going off for 35 against the Wolves, it looks like he’s having fun out there, and he’s got the play to prove it.

The discourse surrounding Steph Curry never changes year-to-year. It usually includes the phrase “greatest shooter to ever live” and includes some cold takes like how he’s a net negative defender or he’s only successful because of Steve Kerr’s system. While he’s never had a coach like Kerr who could unlock his potential prior, he’s been much more than a shooter for awhile now, and it’s time to start giving him that recognition.

The correlation between having the NBA’s leading scorer and a team scoring the most points per game isn’t as common as some fans would think. Sure, the offense will usually land itself in the top 5, but the best offenses in the NBA are predicated on moving the ball and making sure everyone gets their touches. What’s crazy about the Golden State Warriors is that they’re able to do both - because their leading scorer (and the top scorer in the league) pulls so much attention with his shot-making, that the rest of the floor can play 4-on-3.
