The Golden State Warriors look to keep their momentum rolling Saturday night when they host the Charlotte Hornets. The game will tip off at 5:30 PM PT in San Francisco and can be watched on NBC Sports Bay Area.
Previously with the Warriors:
Golden State enters the matchup riding a two-game winning streak after Thursday night’s 126–113 comeback win over the New York Knicks. The Warriors erased an early 14-point first-quarter deficit behind a dominant performance from Jimmy Butler, who scored 32 points on 14-of-22 shooting — his second 30-point outing in the last three games.

Stephen Curry followed with 27 points, while Moses Moody knocked down seven three-pointers on his way to 21 points. The victory pushed Golden State to four games above .500 for the first time this season.
What to watch for tonight:
The Warriors are 4–1 during this eight-game homestand and now turn their attention to a Charlotte team they’ve beaten six straight times dating back to the 2022–23 season. Golden State will once again look to take advantage of the Hornets’ defense, which ranks 23rd in the league with a 116.6 defensive rating.
Although Charlotte has struggled on that end, it remains dangerous offensively. They own the NBA’s ninth-best offensive rating while featuring four players averaging 19 points or more, led by All-Star point guard LaMelo Ball’s 20.4 points per game. That combination sets the stage for another high-scoring night, especially with the Warriors posting a league-best 125.4 offensive rating over the past five games of this homestand.
