Green’s triple-double helps Warriors get win

- SAN FRANCISCO >>

Draymond Green vowed to make up for losing his cool and costing Golden State a win at Charlotte last weekend.

He delivered with a triple-double of a careerhigh 19 assists, 12 rebounds and 11 points to help the Warriors to their first three-game winning streak of the season with a 130-121 victory against the Hornets on Friday night.

Stephen Curry added 29 points and eight assists after he sat out with an illness Saturday night in his hometown of Charlotte.

Green notched his franchise-leading 25th career triple-double and first this season — dishing on each of Kelly Oubre’s six firstquart­er dunks as he finished with 27 points on a night seven Warriors reached double figures.

The Warriors matched a franchise record with 16 assists on their 17 first-quarter baskets — Green dishing out eight of those to tie the most he’s had in a single quarter — while shooting 77.3%. They led 66-51 at halftime.
