Curry had 12 points in the pivotal third quarter as the Warriors blew open a close game.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Stephen Curry scored 23 points with four 3-pointers in his annual homecoming game and the Golden State Warriors beat the Charlotte Hornets 115-97 on Friday night for their third straight win.
Curry, who grew up here and starred at nearby Davidson College before entering the NBA draft as a first-round pick in 2009, had 12 points in the pivotal third quarter as the Warriors blew open a close game.
Curry has always relished returning to play in Charlotte and seeing family and old friends, but the previous four games here have resulted in losses.
