The player: Curry is enjoying himself
Stephen Curry had fun Monday evening against the New Orleans Pelicans (130-102) with a new recital (42 points on 15 out of 22 shooting). The 35-year-old leader, already the author of 41 points against Sacramento, is the man in form for the Warriors at the start of the season, while Klay Thompson was absent due to injury. In the wake of the 2015 and 2016 MVP, Golden State has a third victory in a row and seems launched after its inaugural defeat against Denver (104-108).
The team: Portland, first
Portland finally moved forward by winning for the first time this season, and away from home, on Toronto’s floor (99-91). The Blazers, who had not found the solution during their first three outings, were notably able to count on Jerami Grant (22 points) and Malcolm Brogdon (21 points) to finally launch their season.
For the Raptors, Scottie Barnes (20 points, 12 rebounds) and Pascal Siakam (20 points, 6 rebounds) were not enough and the Canadians suffered a third setback in a row, the early season victory against Minnesota ( 97-94) already seeming far away.
The record: a wolf’s hunger for Murray
Dejounte Murray tied his career record by scoring 41 points in Atlanta’s victory against the Wolves (127-113). The former Spurs guard, who added 7 rebounds and 5 assists in 39 minutes, was the match against Anthony Edwards (31 points, 7 assists) and Rudy Gobert (14 points, 13 rebounds) and allowed the Hawks to be in balance (2 wins, 2 losses).
