Steph Curry struggled from the floor in Charlotte, scoring 24 points on 7-22 shooting. He spoke after the game about how the Warriors offense struggled all night.
Dell Curry is always in a tough spot when Steph Curry and the Warriors visit Charlotte to play the Hornets.
The elder Curry spent part of his NBA career with the Hornets and currently serves as the team's play-by-play announcer. Of course, when the Warriors come to town, Dell's allegiances are split.
