Golden State Warriors v Toronto Raptors: Two Key Stats
1. Wiggins and Poole’s day out
There were plenty of remarkable stats and records to come from Wiggins and Poole’s display against the Raptors. From a franchise point of view, it was the first time since 2014 that two players had scored 30 or more in the same game and neither was Curry or Klay Thompson (per Marcus Thompson).
Per Elias, the last time the Warriors had two players score 30 or more in the same game and neither was Steph Curry or Klay Thompson:

The two players:
Harrison Barnes
Jordan Crawford
Poole’s incredible efficiency will also go down in franchise history, becoming only the second Warrior after Kevin Durant to have 33 points on 13 shots or fewer (per StatMuse).

2. Warriors, outside Curry, get hot from deep
Most people will rightly look at Wiggins and Poole’s combined 14-19 from downtown. But overall, excluding Curry’s 1-6, the Warriors shot 21-39 from three-point range.
The 48.9% shooting from three was their highest percentage for the season, with the 22 made threes also a season-high. It means the Warriors have now moved to fourth in three-point percentage on the season, shooting 36.5% on 41.7 attempts per game (third-most in the league).
