NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from Golden State Warriors vs Charlotte Hornets

#2 Charlotte's poor three-point shooting cost them the game

The Warriors did a great job on the defensive end not allowing the Hornets to get any open looks

The Charlotte Hornets had a tough time taking three-pointers against the Warriors as the Dubs did a great job on the defensive end not allowing the Hornets to get any open looks. None of the players could get it going from distance as they combined for 7-for-33 from the three-point line (21.2%).

In particular, All-Star guard Kemba Walker only shot 3-for-12 from the long range and had a night to forget. In contrast, the Warriors combined for 14-for-41 (34.1%) from distance, with Kevin Durant going 4-for-9 and Klay Thompson 3-for-5.

Surprisingly, Warriors guard Stephen Curry had a rare off-night as he went 4-for-14 from the three-point line and failed to connect. He is the only player in the history of the game to have five games with 10 or more made three-pointers in a single-season.
