The Warriors have had a great homecourt advantage in recent years, but apparently that doesn’t include preseason. The Dubs are 0-for-2 at Oracle Arena following their 117-109 loss to the Suns on Monday night.
A day after knocking down a backwards shot from halfcourt at the team’s Open Practice, Stephen Curry showed some more conventional range early, knocking down each of his two 3-point attempts in the opening quarter. Curry’s deep game opened up driving lanes, and he had 11 of his team-high 23 points in the opening quarter on 4-for-5 shooting.
The only problem was the Suns were hotter.
