Notes
Monta Ellis played the first 6 1/2 seasons of his career with the Warriors averaging 19.6 PPG. He was traded to Milwaukee for Warriors starting center Andrew Bogut. Dejaun Blair leads the NBA in offensive rebound percentage, securing 17.6% of available rebounds on the offensive glass. The Warriors remain without swingman Andre Iguodala, who is out indefinitely with a strained hamstring. Golden State is shooting .440% on 3s, which would break the NBA single-season record set by the 96-97 Charlotte Hornets at .428%. That Hornet team had one Dell Curry shooting plenty of those threes, the father of Warriors star Stephen Curry.
