Warriors’ Andre Iguodala a driving force on star-studded team
MEMPHIS — In his 13th NBA season, Andre Iguodala is a master at helping the Warriors win games even when his stat lines are modest.
Still, the swingman recognizes when he can shoulder a heavier offensive load. Friday night’s 122-107 win over Memphis, in which Kevin Durant’s shot was off and Stephen Curry failed to reach the 20-point mark, provided one such opportunity.
Because he made eight free-throw tries, Iguodala needed only six shots for a season-high 22 points. It was just the 11th time this season that he has scored in double digits.
“That’s what we love about Andre,” assistant coach Ron Adams said. “He doesn’t need to score to be effective. But when we need him to score, he steps up.”
