(SportsNetwork.com) - Stephen Curry is a native of Charlotte and is averaging 25.7 points against his hometown team. Curry and the Golden State Warriors will try to extend their season-high winning streak to eight games when they visit the Hornets Friday at Time Warner Cable Arena. The Warriors are 3-0 thus far on a five-game road trip and recorded a 111-96 victory in Orlando the last time out on Wednesday. Curry scored 25 of his game-high 28 points in the first half and buried 6-of-8 3-pointers. Harrison Barnes scored 16 points and Klay Thompson ended with 12, as Golden State used 65 points in the first half to keep the Magic at bay. You want to have a good start and not make it hard on yourself to make a huge comeback and have to exert, or have to play perfect basketball down the stretch to win a game, Curry said. We needed to get a lot of stops in that second and third quarter to open the game for us, and thats what we did. Curry is fifth in the NBA with 24.2 points per game. Orlando did have a 31-19 scoring advantage in the fourth quarter, but by then it was too late. Shaun Livingston netted 15 points for the Warriors, whose 12-2 start overall and 7-1 beginning on the road are both franchise bests. Golden State made 51.8 percent from the field and hit 12-of-26 3-pointers. It is first in the NBA with a 49.3 shooting percentage and third with 107.4 points per game. The Warriors are 9-0 when holding teams under 100 points and will close the trek Sunday at Detroit. Warriors guard Leandro Barbosa (knee) is questionable for Fridays game. Charlotte is a disappointing 4-12 this season and is mired in a seven-game losing streak, which continued with Wednesdays 105-97 loss to the red-hot Portland Trail Blazers. Brian Roberts ended with a career-high 24 points off the bench, while Al Jefferson grinded his way to 21 points and 14 boards. Jefferson isnt worried about the slow start. Its only 16 games, said Jefferson. November is a tough month for us. We knew that going in. Its going to get better. Were fighting and competing every night, we just have to finish games. Jefferson has posted three straight double-doubles in the last four games, and has posted 20-plus points in four of the previous five. Lance Stephenson chipped in eight points, seven boards and five assists in a losing effort. Hornets guard P.J. Hairston returned to the lineup after missing four games with an ankle injury. He ended with three points. Charlotte is 3-5 at home this season. The Hornets are 1-8 against teams from the West and dropped a 112-87 decision at Golden State on Nov. 15, as Thompson and Curry scored 21 and 19 points, respectively. The Warriors shot 51.7 percent and have lost 11 of the past 15 meetings with Charlotte on the road.

Again using a balanced offence and tenacious defence, the second-ranked Shockers became the first Division I team to reach 30-0 in the regular season with a 69-49 victory over Bradley on Tuesday night. "To be the first and only team in college basketball to win 30 without a loss in the regular season," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said when asked about his theme for the game. "I realize were playing more games ... but it has never happened in the regular season. "So its a first. And these guys like to be the first, and the best." Ron Baker had 15 points to lead four Wichita State players in double figures as the Shockers became the 11th team to reach 30-0, the previous 10 all hitting the 30-win mark during post-season play. The last team to reach 30-0 was UNLV in 1990-91. The Runnin Rebels went 34-0 that season before losing to Duke in the national semifinals. The Shockers (30-0, 17-0 Missouri Valley Conference) have one more regular-season game, at home Saturday against Missouri State. The last team to finish a regular season unbeaten was Saint Josephs in 2003-04 at 27-0. The next season, Illinois got to 29-0 before losing its regular-season finale at Ohio State. A barrage of 3-pointers early in the second half broke it open for Wichita State, which beat Bradley (12-18, 7-10) for the 10th straight time and second this season. After Bradley trimmed a 10-point halftime deficit to eight, Shockers point guard Fred VanVleet made consecutive 3s for a 14-point lead, the visitors largest to that point. By the 12:50 mark, Cleanthony Early had added a 3-pointer and Baker made two 3s off screens for a 50-32 lead. Wichita State finished the game 11 of 21 from beyond the arc, with four players making two or more. Bradley was 4 of 14. "End-of-shot-clock 3s. That was it," Bradley coach Geno Ford said. "Im not saying we were going to win, but you hold them to seven offensive rebounds and have just six turnovers? Ill take it.dddddddddddd "The difference was late-shot-clock 3s and their length at the basket." Ford went on to laud the Shockers defence. "At the rim, they have unbelievable length," Ford said. "Its length and it comes from anywhere. Even (6-foot-3) Baker. "Theyre absolutely terrific at help and recover, and they deny (wing passes). You cant find five teams in the country with that (combination)." Tyshon Pickett finished with 13 points and 15 rebounds for Bradley after nearly reaching a double-double in the first half with 10 points and nine rebounds. Pickett was just 5-of-20 from the field and leading scorer Walt Lemon Jr. was 6 for 20 and had 18 points. "I hate to get beat on the glass," Marshall said of his teams 37-36 rebound disadvantage. "But (Pickett) was a monster. He beasted us a little." Tekele Cotton scored 13 points, Early 12 and VanVleet had 11 for Wichita State, a Final Four participant a year ago. Reserve Darius Carter added nine points and seven rebounds and had one of the Shockers six blocked shots. Miserable shooting prevented Bradley from mounting much of a threat. The Braves were at 25 per cent (11 for 44) through 30 minutes and finished 16 for 59 (27.1 per cent). Bradley was playing host to its highest-ranked opponent since 1982, when then-No. 2 Wichita State lost 55-47 to the Braves who went on to win the NIT. The Shockers led 35-25 at halftime after holding the Braves to 8-of-34 shooting (23.5 per cent). The game was a matchup of the top two defensive teams in the conference, though Wichita State (60.8 points per game) leads Bradley (65.5) comfortably. Offensively, Wichita State is also the MVCs best (75.8) while Bradley (63.8) is last. The No. 2 ranking equals the highest ranking in Wichita State history, matching the 1981-82 team. ' ' '
