"The guy's playing at an elite level right now. I know we keep talking about it and, sooner ot later, everybody's going to catch on. But he's a heck of a basketball player, " Golden State head coach told NBA.com as he heaped praises on his star shooting guard.
David Lee and Carl Landry had a combined 41 points for Golden State, which led by as many as 21 points. The Warriors shot 45.2 percent from the field while the dispatched Bobcats converted only 31 of their 83 field goals for a 37.3 percent clip. Charlotte did make nine of 26 triples while the Warriors went 8-for-20 above the arc.
