BOSTON -- At Golden State media day back in September, superstar guard Stephen Curry gave a mild declaration of intent for this season when he said that his Warriors are "in a position where we can be a relevant team early and give ourselves a chance to compete.
"Then assess where we are."
Wednesday night, just weeks after Curry uttered those remarks, he and the Warriors improved to 7-1 on the season, moving into a three-way tie with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns for the best record in the Western Conference thanks to a thrilling 118-112 victory over the Boston Celtics at TD Garden.
