Exciting win for the Warriors, overcoming a huge deficit behind lights-out 3-point shooting. While you can’t count on making 21 3-pointers every game, it sure is enjoyable when it happens.

What stands out the most to me are the assist totals — 35 assists, 12 above their season average. Curry had 12, Monta had 11, and David Lee dished out 9. That’s a mark of great ball movement, and suggests that their great shooting was more than just a lucky hot streak.

Throw in an 18-point advantage on points off turnovers, and it was enough to overcome a typically lax rebounding effort (not to mention bad 3-point defense — we very easily could have been focusing on the Magic’s hot shooting from deep).

All in all, a fun win that cleans out a bit of the bad taste from the road trip. They’ll need to string together a few more of these sorts of performances against Magic-level teams in order to change the current verdict on the season, but for now we can at least savor a good win.
