Stephen Curry had a victorious return to his hometown, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 115-97 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night.

Curry, Charlotte’s pride, delivered a standout performance with 23 points, demonstrating his scoring prowess and delighted his hometown fans. Andrew Wiggins scored 20 points and Trayce Jackson-Davis added 18 points to back him up. Moses Moody also had a huge effect off the bench, scoring 15 points.

Chris Paul, another North Carolinian, contributed 11 points and a game-high nine assists to help the Warriors’ offense.

Despite a great performance from Miles Bridges, who led the Hornets with 22 points, Charlotte fell short of winning consecutive games for the first time in more than a month. Davis Bertans provided a spark with 14 points in the first half, but was held scoreless after that. Brandon Miller, Grant Williams, and Nick Richards each scored 12 points for the Hornets.

Golden State dominated both ends of the court, shooting an astounding 53.9 percent from the field, with Curry leading the way with an efficient 9-for-18 performance, including four 3-point shots. Charlotte, on the other hand, struggled with their shooting, hitting only 40.5 percent from the field and 26.1 percent from beyond the arc.

The Warriors’ domination extended to the paint, as Jackson-Davis grabbed eight total rebounds, four of which were offensive, and three blocked shots.

Golden State grabbed control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring the Hornets 39-24 to establish a dominating lead. Curry started an 11-0 run with five straight baskets, and Moody’s four-pointer extended the margin to 87-69 late in the third quarter.

Klay Thompson’s absence due to an injured right knee did not deter the Warriors, who cruised to their third consecutive road victory, extending their winning run to three games overall.
