Warriors changed the league with their 3-point shooting

The Warriors changed the league with their red-hot 3-point shooting. Guard Stephen Curry is a ridiculous shooter who shoots at 43.6 percentage from the 3-point line. Klay Thompson, the other half of the 'Splash Brothers' shoots at an equally ridiculous 42.2 percentage from the distance.

With their 3-point shooting skills, they changed the other teams' perception of what makes for winning NBA titles. In the 2015-16 regular-season, Stephen Curry went on to make 402 three-pointers breaking his own record of 286 made three-pointers, established the season before this one. In the same 2015-16 regular-season, Klay Thompson was second on the list with 276 three-pointers which talks about the fire-power in their 3-point shooting.
