Steve Kerr isn't worried about getting Stephen Curry involved. Asked between quarters, the Warriors coach offers a simple answer: "He will involve himself, he'll find his way."

Curry's first basket doesn't arrive until late in the second quarter. By the finish, he has made every shot he attempted from the field, going eight for eight as Golden State earns its first win of the season in Denver.

Yet Curry isn't the Warriors' leading scorer. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg supplies 31 points, with rebounds, assists and an alley-oop finish that helps turn the night into a comfortable victory. The highlights offer both the familiar sight of Curry finding his range and a newer player giving him reason to talk about someone else afterward.

The NBA's full-game recap has drawn nearly 1.2 million views before its first day is complete, far beyond the channel's usual start for regular videos. Its comment section is also much busier than usual. Viewers pick apart Curry's flawless shooting, call attention to Draymond Green's passing and Brandin Podziemski's contribution, and repeatedly return to Lendeborg.

The league has also posted a separate Short of Curry discussing the rookie, which is drawing an unusually strong audience for its format. In the full recap's postgame interview, Curry points to Lendeborg's composure and feel for the game. Then he makes clear what the result meant to the team: "And we were hungry. We needed a win bad, so glad we got it done."
