San Francisco, CA – Monday night was flat-out special. Draymond Green made his return, it was Stephen Curry’s 34th birthday, and it marked the first time Green, Curry, and Klay Thompson shared the court in 1,005 days. The thing that stood out most in their victory over the Washington Wizards was the unselfish play by the Golden State Warriors.
“When we're playing well, it's what we do best, and we got to keep making that a priority,” Curry told ClutchPoints. “It's a fun way to play the game, and everybody gets involved.”

The two-time MVP gave himself a 47 point birthday present, and the rest of the group gifted him a nearly perfect four quarters. Every player who played for more than two minutes scored.

The new intriguing lineup featuring Curry, Thompson, and Jordan Poole looked incredible in the starting lineup. Thompson and Poole both scored 20 to go with Curry’s monster night. The high-flying Jonathan Kuminga was productive as well. He had 12 points while shooting an efficient 5-of-8 from the field.

The Warriors were rolling on all cylinders, but they weren't at full strength. Their all-star wing Andrew Wiggins didn't play because of sickness the team is calling a general illness. Once he's back on the court, he'll be another difficulty for teams to worry about.
Offensively the Warriors can do a plethora of things, and although Curry loves scoring the ball himself, he enjoys seeing his teammates succeed. That's what makes the Warriors special. They can take care of business on the court and make it look fun.
