Rewind: Warriors’ championship will to win shines bright

With 4:36 remaining in the fourth and the Warriors trailing by one, Steph raced into the lane, drawing what looked like the entire Nets roster. Luke Walton’s interim coaching record remained ideal at 11-0.

“We’ll probably steal that from them later in the season”, he said.

The Nets didn’t respond well to the misfortune. This is what happened in overtime: 10 straight points from the Warriors to finish with a 107-99 win.

The reigning league MVP now has 1,248 three pointers, three more than Dell Curry, who ranks 43rd on the all-time list. “He’s a luxury to have on the court”.

The Warriors outscored the Nets 10-2 in the extra frame as it took almost four minutes for Brooklyn to get its first field goal in OT. “It’s tough. We feel like we could have had this one”. Their record may still be flawless, but their play is not. “(Joe Johnson) put it on a platter and I just, I blew it”, Lopez said.

Warriors guard Stephen Curry surpassed his father Dell’s career three-point total during a Saturday night game against the Nets in Oakland. He shot 40% or better from deep for eight straight seasons though unlike his son, it took lesser attempts from beyond the arc. Draymond Green recorded a triple-double with 16 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Center Andrew Bogut chipped in a 10-point, 18-rebound double-double.

It remains to be seen if starting guard Klay Thompson will be available to play against the Raptors after missing the Nets game with back stiffness.

Jack led the Nets with 28 points.

In the first game of the season, Green held Anthony Davis to 18 points on 4-of-20 shooting. The Nets appeared to have the game in hand when they rebounded a Curry miss with 23.3 seconds left in regulation and leading 95-94. Brook Lopez had a chance to win the game, but missed it. And as we’ve written a few times in the past, the Warriors might not play incredible defense for the entire game (which is impossible to do in the pace they’re trying to push to constantly), but they give these defensive crunches which leaves teams stunned and well behind by the time they recover. National Basketball Association TV’s “The Starters” briefly mentioned this on a podcast, noting that teams may have to start fouling Curry hard to throw him off or simply just give up the two instead of three-pointer. The Warriors are cut from a different cloth than other young teams. And then Andre came up huge. There is a lot to like about this team, but what I like the most is how they can insert their second unit and build a double-digit lead against their opponent’s bench. Standing in their way is Toronto on Tuesday night at Oracle Arena, followed by a return date with the Clippers at Staples Center Thursday and a home encounter Friday with one of the two teams that managed to beat them at Oracle past year, the Chicago Bulls (who own the second-best start by a defending champ at 12-0, by the Michael Jordan-led 1996-97 team).

Grizzlies coach David Joerger joked about using three defenders on Curry before a 50-point loss at Golden State earlier this month.
