The Golden State Warriors' balanced scoring and precision from beyond the arc secured a 136-116 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night. With 23 three-pointers made, the Warriors showcased their depth and shooting prowess, as eight players reached double figures in scoring. De'Anthony Melton led the way with 24 points, while Draymond Green contributed 20, and Stephen Curry and Buddy Hield each added 14. This performance extended Golden State's winning streak to three games and improved their record to 5-1 on an eight-game homestand. The Hornets' Brandon Miller scored a game-high 28 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Warriors' hot shooting. Charlotte trailed by as many as 15 points in the first half, and despite a strong third-quarter comeback, they couldn't close the gap. The Warriors' success from the three-point line is remarkable, as they've had at least 10 players make at least one three-pointer in three straight games, a record-breaking streak according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The 3-point arc's introduction in the 1979-80 season has transformed the game, and Golden State's ability to consistently hit from beyond the arc is a testament to their skill and strategy. The Warriors' next challenge awaits as they host Miami on Monday, while the Hornets will look to bounce back against Denver on Sunday.
