Did you know?:

Stephen Curry was raised in North Carolina, so every year playing in Charlotte is a homecoming game of sorts for him. Here is a list of the four times he has played in Charlotte since the beginning of his career:

3/6/2010: 25 PTS, 4 AST, 5 REB, 8-for-23 from the field in 48 minutes.

12/31/2010: 24 PTS, 3 AST, 1 REB, 10-for-17 from the field in 36 minutes.

12/10/2012: 27 PTS, 7 AST, 7 REB, 10-for-22 from the field in 37 minutes.

12/9/2013: 43 PTS, 9 AST, 6 REB, 14-for-32 from the field in 45 minutes.

Curry has averaged 20.4 points per game. Against his home town team? Steph is averaging a staggering 29.5 points per game. Too bad the Warriors can’t play Charlotte every game of the season, because Curry seems to be in MVP-like form whenever he goes home.
