Warriors: Andrew Wiggins’ 3-point evolution on display in win over Rockets
SAN FRANCISCO — Andrew Wiggins isn’t sure how many shots he puts up in a given practice. It’s definitely more than 100, he said, but maybe not quite 200.Wiggins had his best offensive showing of the season Saturday night when the Warriors put on a clinic against the youthful Houston Rockets. After a 17-point first half, Wiggins caught fire in the third, making five 3s and scoring 17 of the team’s 26 points in that frame.
He finished with a season-best 36 points on 14 of 19 shooting that included a career-tying eight 3s. He also had five rebounds, two assists and two steals in the win. Still, Saturday’s showing in a blowout win continues a sweltering start to the season for Wiggins. He’s averaging 19.1 points, second to only Stephen Curry on the team, and has been incredibly efficient, boasting his best effective field goal percentage of his nine-year career .
