The Warriors’ eighth-straight win and 18-2 record is the second-best record to start a season since the 2015-16 Warriors, who began the season 20-0.
Even in hostile territory where the Warriors are the giant to knock off, Curry is cheered and celebrated for his greatness. The flowers are pouring down for the three-time champ as Curry erupted Staples Center with three after three.
However, Tuesday night may be the Warriors’ most significant challenge yet, as they face the team with the second-best record (17-3) in the League, the Phoenix Suns.
