Game Notes
- “Curry hosts Q&A before homecoming game” — Rusty Simmons, San Francisco Chronicle
- “Curry vs. Kemba Walker — Each of these point guards is his team’s best player. Walker has been on top of his game lately, and he’s acutely aware that Curry wants to impress his family (Dell Curry is being honored by the Hornets) as well as the folks in his hometown. Curry surely remembers the game two years ago in which he scored 43 points – 32 in the second half – only to have Walker score Charlotte’s last 15 points and lead the then-Bobcats to victory.” — Monte Poole, CSN Bay Area
- “‘I’ve kind of got the gist of my emotions and what it feels like to go back home and play with all the family and hoopla around the game,’ Curry said. ‘This will probably be a little different just looking up at the Jumbotron (and seeing his father honored) and all the Curry 30 shirts and stuff. It’s just a really cool experience. It will be something to remember. It’ll be a fun night, and hopefully we spoil the ending for them.'” — Diamond Leung, Bay Area News Group
- “Hornets center Al Jefferson expected to miss 2-3 weeks after MRI confirms a left calf strain” — Rick Bonnell, Charlotte Observer
