Now that was just plain cruel.

The Toronto Raptors held Stephen Curry to 12 points on 2-10 shooting Sunday — only to see Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole to combine for 65 points and for the team to shoot a combined 22-for-45 from three as the Warriors scored a dominant 119-104 win over Toronto at the Chase Center.

Poole had 33 points, Wiggins 32. A duo of 30-point scorers without Curry being one of them? Last happened in 2014 with Harrison Barnes and Jordan Crawford.

Here’s more about how the Dubs were able to roll to their 11th win in the last 12 games and raise their NBA-best record to 15-2.

Keeping That Same Energy

The first game after a road trip is usually a slog. All the energy evaporated fighting through the logistics of travel. One of the keys to this game was the Warriors needing to fight through the grind and the malaise from the road, and that’s exactly what they did.

Powered by Wiggins’ 14 points, the Warriors jumped out to a 20-point first-qaurter lead. While all of the defensive attention was on Curry, Wiggins and Poole made the Raptors pay.

Defensively, the Warriors were just as impressive. Their aggressiveness in the zone forced the Raptors into many contested, late-clock starts and resulted in the Raptors’ shooting 40 percent from the field in the opening quarter.

It takes more energy to play defense and rebound defensively, and for the Warriors to ratchet up the defensive intensity after returning from a road trip is a testament to their mettle and discipline.

Strength In Numbers On Full Display

As expected, the Raptors made containing Curry their top priority and they did. The Raptors limited Curry to four shot attempts in the first half.  Despite all of the top-locking and hounding that Fred VanVleet and the Raptors deployed to get the ball out of Curry’s hands, it didn’t matter. Golden State took a 14-point lead into halftime, due to role guys such as Chris Chiozza, and Otto Porter, Jr. chipping in offensively.  Also, the Warriors defense dropped the Raptors’ percentage to 37 at halftime.

Curry knew that VanVleet would be in his jersey all night — that’s how the Raptors play him — and the rest of the team knew it too. Instead of forcing the issue, Curry made the right reads and played the decoy role, setting well-timed screens, taking multiple defenders with him at all times to create open shots and opportunities for his teammates. The weak side of the floor was there for the Warriors’ taking. Wiggins’ hot start from three was from the weak side corner. Most of Porter’s makes were from the weak side corner as well.

Chiozza, filling in for Gary Payton II  made the most of his 20 minutes with 11 points on 4-9 shooting. Chiozza used the Raptors’ pressure against themselves to get to the basket.

Two nights earlier in Detroit, the Warriors, playing without Curry, Draymond Green, Porter, Jr. and Andre Iguodala, displayed their depth and withstood a late Pistons’ run to hold on for the win. Against the Raptors, that same depth dominated from the opening tip.

Wigging Out

Wiggins has been on a tear since his poster dunk over Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns on Nov. 10. For most of his career, Wiggins has teetered from being selectively aggressive to being nonchalant. So far, Wiggins has maintained his energy and intensity. In addition to the 33 points he dropped on the Raptors, he scored 27 against Detroit and 28 against Charlotte. He has been driving to the lane more and not settling for contested mid-range jumpers. He is becoming more confident and decisive in his role which will only make the Warriors that much tougher to deal with as the season progresses.

Looney’s Role Solidified?

James Wiseman is due to return to the lineup within a few weeks but Kevon Looney continues to be a constant presence at center. His contributions often times are subtle. He sets well-timed screens and is aggressive on the boards. However, recently he has stepped up his production. In the first half against the Raptors, Looney scored four points, grabbed 7 rebounds, blocked a couple of shots and made two steals, He was a plus-24 in the quarter and ended the game with 10 rebounds and a plus-25.  While Wiseman will be worked into in the lineup gradually, Looney is expected to be the Warriors’ starting center not only for continuity but also for his savvy and the intangibles that he brings.
