The Warriors welcome a reeling Hornets team to Oracle tonight, losers of 7 of 9. The Hornets blitzed the Warriors from the get-go the last time they were in Oakland, so avoiding a slow start will be key tonight. What to watch for:
- Build on a Good Win. Lee and Curry both had arguably their best games of the season on Sunday, with Lee dominating the glass and Curry dishing like one of the best points in the league. Can they keep it up for a second game in a row?
- Own the Boards. Rebounding was a major key in the victory over the Thunder, and with Okafor out tonight there are no excuses not to do it again.
- Numbers for Ekpe. Udoh had a great game on Sunday, playing meaningful minutes and giving a great defensive performance throughout. But his stat line was shockingly empty. Can he do the same in terms of defense and energy, but contribute a few points and rebounds as well?
