Warriors beat Nuggets, tie National Basketball Association record

And then Walton called timeout, and broke out his big guns, and Golden State got back on track, rejoining the race for history even on a night where they seemed to be running on fumes.

Love them or hate them, this Warriors outfit is demanding everyone’s attention.

But they’re focused not so much on a number as winning in general. The team will look for their 16th consecutive win Tuesday, in a nationally televised home game against the Los Angeles Lakers. “It’s a huge accomplishment, obviously, coming off a championship, taking care of business”.

As good as it gets right there – until Tuesday anyway.

“It would be a cool milestone”, Thompson said. They were already 12-0 at that point. They dished out 35 assists. Nonetheless, the Warriors seem bothered by the talk, and their current play suggests they’re making a statement.

The Dallas Mavericks’ six-game winning streak came to an end as they went down to the Oklahoma City Thunder 117-114.

Klay Thompson scored 21 points, and Curry needed to play only three quarters in the altitude and score a season-low 19 points for the Warriors to claim a victory that improved their record to 98-20 in the Kerr era, including the postseason.

Instead of airing the season finale of the 2015 World Series of Poker, the Worldwide Leader in Sports opted instead to show the Warriors’ effortless dismissal of the Denver Nuggets, a Western Conference opponent that is openly rebuilding. The superstar guard scored 19 points and made three 3-pointers, but his makes were more of the “timely” variety than the knockout blows they normally are. He started in place of Kenneth Faried, who missed the game with an ankle injury.

The LA Clippers were led by J.J. Redick, who scored 17 points with Chris Paul ending with 13 points, 11 assists and five rebounds and DeAndre Jordan adding 13 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks in the defeat.

Resting wasn’t an option this time. As the Warriors close in on the record, they remain a coach’s – and a fan’s – dream, in attitude and execution. “It would be something nice to get along the way”. Iguodala asked. “I think we only celebrate in June”. Before the game, Nuggets coach Michael Malone said that playing the Warriors now is like being the Washington Generals, the stooge team that lost a million games to the Harlem Globetrotters. We’re OK with that.

No one, no matter how great, has been on a team that started 16-0.

It’ll be interesting to see their response to LeBron James, who now essentially said the same thing on Monday.

“There are other milestones for us to have a chance at, but it’s special to be unblemished this far into the season”, he said.
