The Golden State Warriors are looking to dominate the league once again. After scoring 92 points in the first half and 149 for the game, one-time Warriors center Zaza Pachulia took to Twitter to let them know that he is “disappointed” in his former teammates.
Specifically, Pachulia was targeting the hot-shooting backcourt duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson who scored a combined 75 points with the latter accounting for 52 points in only three quarters of play. On Monday, the Warriors took down the Chicago Bulls 149-124 during Thompson’s history-making barrage when he exploded for an NBA-record 14 three-pointers. He broke the record of 13 made threes held by Curry, the other half of the Warriors’ Splash Brothers.
@StephenCurry30 and @KlayThompson you guys are ruining the game lol smh

Thompson set the record with less than five minutes remaining in the third quarter and the Warriors ahead, 113-69. His teammates mobbed him in the ensuing timeout.

As for Curry, Pachulia included him in the tweet after the two-time Most Valuable Player racked up 51 points without playing in the fourth quarter of a game as well. The nine-year veteran accomplished the feat in only their second game of the 2017-18 season against the Washington Wizards. The Warriors obliterated the Wizards 144-122, the first time they scored more than 140 points this season.
Pachulia, now with the Detroit Pistons after the Warriors chose not to re-sign the free agent center during the summer, signed a deal one-year deal to play for the Motor City squad. He is playing for a team with a 4-1 record as the Pistons seek to get back into playoff contention after missing the postseason last year.
