His second and more vivid memory is that another
Warriors guard did just fine. On July 16, Anthony Morrow, an undrafted shooting guard from Georgia Tech, set UNLV’s Cox Pavilion ablaze with what remains one of the greatest — and most audacious — individual performances in the 22-year history of the Las Vegas tournament. It was on this date that Morrow scored 47 points in a little over 36 minutes played against the New Orleans Hornets for a mark that has rarely been threatened at the annual summer-league gathering. What made the effort even more of a conversation piece was that the Warriors beat the Hornets 104-84.
“He had the gym absolutely buzzing,” Curry said. “I’m not surprised that it’s still the record.”
