The group combined for 23 3-point shots, the most ever by a trio of players as per ESPN's Stats & Info page.

In the win, Stephen Curry shot 7-of-14 from 3-point range, Klay Thompson shot 10-of-13, and Andrew Wiggins went 6-of-11. They combined for 23 of the Warriors' 24 made 3-point shots. The only other player who knocked down a 3-pointer was Jordan Poole who was 1-of-2. Thompson was the team's leading scorer with 41 points, Curry dropped 33, and Wiggins added 22.
It's been a rough season for the defending champs as they currently sit at 8-9 and in 11th place in the Western Conference standings. They've now won consecutive games, and have won five of their last seven after suffering through a five-game losing streak. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr recently ripped into the team for underperforming.
Curry has been his usual self, averaging 32.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game while shooting 52.8 percent from the field and 44.3 percent from 3-point range. Wiggins has been putting up 18.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals while shooting 49.3 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from three. Thompson has struggled a bit though, averaging 15.5 points, the lowest since his rookie season, and shooting career lows of 36.3 percent from the field and 33.6 percent from 3-point range.
The win was a step in the right direction as the Warriors need to turn things around sooner rather than later.
