– Splash Brothers Will Splash
The Golden State Warriors are entering the All-Star weekend with the best record in the NBA, as they have arguably the best backcourt in the league. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are both All-Stars this season, and their head coach Steve Kerr will be coaching the Western Conference.
Saturday night both will be battling in the most anticipated three-point contest ever, as the Splash Brothers will be doing plenty of splashing on Saturday night, but on Sunday night in the up-tempo All-Star Game; they will be splashing as well.
Curry was a starter last season, but struggled shooting the ball from deep, as he went 2-11 from beyond the arc. This year with his partner in crime Thompson with him, Curry will be out for redemption, and Thompson will be looking to impress.
Curry and Thompson will likely shoot over 18 three-pointers between them, and their sharp shooting will be on full display in MSG.
