Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry so Good It’s Not Fair Sometimes

Golden State sprints to the finish from there, Curry’s backcourt mate Klay Thompson hits from downtown, three of his 18 points, and the Warriors win this one nine.

Rajon Rondo delivered his 23rd career triple-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists in the losing effort.

What ended on a winning note started off slowly for the Dubs, as they struggled getting many of their shots to fall in the first half.

Stephen Curry, who missed out on playing against his brother in an organized game for the first time, had only three points at halftime and finished 8 for 18 from the field, including 2 for 10 from 3-point range. While earlier games had seen the Warriors probing defenses and quickly swinging the ball, on Saturday the team was more sluggish off made and missed baskets, truly getting out on the break only when they stole the ball. Atlanta guard Kyle Korver holds the mark with 3-pointers in 127 straight games.

Greg Monroe had 20 points and eight rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks handed the Brooklyn Nets a seventh straight loss to start the season.

“That’s my running mate”.

The Warriors remain the only undefeated team in the League as they move to 7-0 on the season, and will be back in action on Monday as they host the Detroit Pistons on Warriors Ground. But Curry was back in the third quarter, and there was no stopping him.

The Kings proved they would not be put away easily in the second half, however, as they nailed 7-of-9 buckets in first five minutes of the third quarter.

After Marco Belinelli dropped in three free throws to pull Sacramento within three (87-84) with 2:46 left, the Warriors responded with a 7-0 run to go up 94-84 with 1:38 and force the Kings to call a timeout. That team then traded F Chris Webber to the Washington Bullets for F Tom Gugliotta and draft picks and finished 26-56, replacing coach Don Nelson with Bob Lanier along the way…. “I’m not expecting to shoot lights out every game”.

Rondo doing a good defensive job on Curry with those long arms and a little bit of motivation which is never a given when it comes to Rondo also helped keep the MVP and the hottest player in the National Basketball Association through seven games at normal level, not beyond that.
