Warriors achieve historic franchise feat during Steph's injury absence

   

The Warriors have been without superstar point guard Steph Curry for half of their games to begin the 2024-25 NBA season, but that hasn't stopped Golden State from making history along the way.

Riding high at 5-1, the Warriors have made 103 3-pointers, the most in franchise history through the first six games of a season.

Golden State's excellent perimeter shooting in Curry's absence is a testament to the incredible depth the Warriors have amassed, with a handful of offseason acquisitions offering immediate returns on investment.

Most notably has been Buddy Hield, who was acquired in a sign-and-trade deal over the summer. Hield has accomplished an unprecedented feat of his own, becoming the first player in NBA history to make at least 27 3-pointers in their first six games with a team.

Through six games Hield has drained 30 3-pointers, tied for second in the NBA with Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball, and trailing only Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards' 32 makes from beyond the arc. Hield has done it at a remarkably efficient clip as well, knocking down 51.6-percent of his 3-point attempts this season.
