Dub Hub, Daily Warriors Links for 11/21/22: Warriors win their first road game of the season

Good Morning Dub Nation,

The Golden State Warriors have finally overcome their biggest obstacle of the season: winning a road game. The Warriors are officially 1-8 on the road this season after beating the Houston Rockets in Houston on Sunday night, 127-120.

The Splash Brothers showed up big in this one — combining for 17 threes as they willed the Warriors to their first road victory. Klay Thompson led the way in the scoring department, finishing the night with 41 points on 14-of-23 shooting from the field and 10-of-13 shooting from three. Thompson seems to have found his rhythm and talked about it after the game.

Not to be overshadowed by Thompson’s comeback game was the spectacular performance by Stephen Curry. Curry scored 33 points on 11-of-20 shooting from the field and 7-of-14 shooting from the three-point line. He also chipped in with 15 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Despite filling up the stat sheet, Curry’s best highlight of the night came with 39 seconds on the clock as he shot a high-arching fade away three that put the rockets to bed.

Here’s what Curry said about his shot after the game.

With their first road victory finally in the books after 17 games, the Warriors will now look to make it two in a row as they face off against the New Orleans Pelicans tonight for the second night of a back-to-back.
