Golden State Warriors vs Los Angeles Lakers

“We’ve been playing like s***”.

The Golden State Warriors are all the talk in the National Basketball Association right now.

As the Warriors go from strength to strength, one of the teams expected to challenge them in the West – the Los Angeles Clippers, endured their third straight defeat on Sunday, falling 91-80 to Toronto to fall to 6-7 for the season.

Through 15 games, Golden State is averaging 115 points per game – better than the 104 scored by the ’96 Bulls during the same time span.

“Now that we are here and tied the record, it’s a huge accomplishment”, Warriors guard Stephen Curry said.

The highlight for Mudiay, though, will have been leaving Curry sprawling on the deck with this Curry-esque crossover and long three-pointer.

“They’re the best team I’ve seen in the league and it’s not close”, Scott said. Heading into this week, the Thunder are just 8-6 with every team in the division within a stone’s throw of supplanting them.

The Warriors pushed the lead to 19 points in the fourth with Curry and the starters on the bench.

Common to young players, Randle looks dominant in stretches, but not consistently.

Davis, whose rebound total set a season high, also blocked four shots and had two steals. It didn’t help the Nuggets that leading rebounder Kenneth Faried missed the game with a sprained ankle. The Warriors have not needed much motivation to win each game this season, because they’re offense has done most of the talking.

Assistant coach Luke Walton, who is filling in for head coach Steve Kerr while he recovers from a back operation, started five members of national teams.

“It’s weird because it’s the same edge and killer instinct in him”, said Walton, who won two titles with Bryant.

Nuggets: Before the game, coach Michael Malone equated the Nuggets to the “Washington Generals” – the usual opponent for the Harlem Globetrotters – because the TV audience wants to see the Warriors and “nobody is here to see us”.

The Hawks are slight favourites to win this game at home in the Philips Arena. The hard feat that didn’t come easy becomes easy tomorrow night when the Warriors take on the worst-in-the-West Lakers.

But if he has such a proven track record of success, why has he barely even sniffed the hardwood this season?
