Payton II played 33 minutes and shot 9-of-16, including 4-of-7 from three-point range and 0-of-2 from the free throw line, for 22 points and two rebounds. None of the Warriors' other players scored in double figures.
For Curry, it was his best performance in the last month, scoring 46 points with just 22 shots. This is Curry's fifth 40+ of the season, and the last time he cut a 40+ was more than a month ago, and the 46 points were second only to the 50 points against the Hawks.
In today's game, Curry was also very good at outside the three-point line, shooting only 14 shots, hitting 8 three-pointers, shooting 57%. Curry's last three-point shooting percentage was 55 percent, in a game that cut 40+ more than a month ago.
Since December, Curry's three-point shooting rate has not been high, only more than 50% in one game and less than 40% in the rest of the games, so on average, Curry's three-point shooting rate in December is only 36%. But after today's game, Curry's three-point shooting percentage in December has risen to 38 percent.
Curry's three-point shooting rate in December is not high, on the one hand, because there are more away games, on the other hand, it is affected by breaking Ray Allen's record, because it is about to surpass Ray Allen, so Curry's state has fluctuated, shooting more, but the shooting rate is not high.
After successfully surpassing Ray Allen, Curry has gradually regained his touch, especially in today's game. After hitting eight three-pointers today, Curry's career three-pointer total has reached 2,994, and only six are left to reach the 3,000 three-point milestone.
Curry has averaged nearly six three-pointers per game this season, so in the next game, Curry is expected to reach the milestone of 3,000 three-pointers, and the next game is the Christmas war, the Warriors will challenge the Suns on the road, if they can reach this milestone in the Christmas war and become the first person in history, it will be very meaningful.
