DeRozan Finishes with 33 Points
DeMar DeRozan lit up the Kings and finished with 33 points (10-of-12 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs). He had four assists, two steals and two 3-pointers on Monday. DeMar didn’t contribute much across the board. That said, he scored his points with incredible efficiency. This was just the 65th time in NBA history that a player scored at least 30 points while shooting 80% or better from the field and 90% or better from the line with at least 10 free throw attempts. It’s difficult to score with such efficiency. Still, after shooting below 40% in each of their two previous games, it was encouraging to see DeRozan get back on track.
Curry Finishes with Four Points vs. Boston
Steph Curry finished Sunday’s blowout loss to Boston with four points. He had three assists and a rebound across 17 minutes. Curry shot a putrid 2-of-13 from the floor and 0-of-9 from deep. It marked the third time since December 17 that he’s failed to hit a three-pointer. He and Golden State’s other starters were benched after halftime after falling behind 44 points to Boston through the first two quarters.
Curry has been great as of late, and Golden State had won three straight and six of seven before heading to TD Garden. The Celtics have done a phenomenal job of locking down opponents recently, so we can expect a bounceback from Curry when the Warriors face the Bucks on Wednesday.
