Warriors just keep winning
No problem, apparently, as the Warriors cruised to a 19-point win, 135-116, and keeping their streak alive. Nine Warriors hit at least one 3-pointer. He didn’t have to play in the fourth quarter because the game was well in hand after three quarters.
It’ll be fun to watch the Warriors continue to stay on top with late first-round picks in the future, but they’ve had enough past draft success to remain in contention.
“I love watching him play”.
“I’m sure Steph doesn’t like it”, interim coach Luke Walton said. He was on crutches, and his ankle was heavily wrapped.
“Yes. That’s important to have like tangible goals that you can look at it and really work for”. One of those people you root for, and he’s been rewarded with the contract and he’s deserved it. He brings something to this team that no one else can.
Barnes said he’s good with the plan to be cautious about getting back.
“I’m not quite sure, I’m just going to kind of see how it goes”, he said. But they also like easy shots, and this season 29.5% of their shots come in the restricted area (the semi-circle near the basket that typically includes layups and dunks). Burks went 9-of-14 from the field to bust out of a slump that saw him shoot below 50 percent from the field in the previous four games.BUZZER BEATERS1. “We’ll try to figure out who those five best defenders are and those will be the guys who are going to be out there for us because putting up all of those points – and I’m not just saying this about T.J., just any of our guys – we don’t care about the points, we’ve got to get stops and the points will come”.
The third quarter was a different story for Rush.
Curry reached the 40-point mark for the fifth time this season, the most by a Warriors player in one season since Latrell Sprewell had six in 1996-97.
“I feel like my old self”, he said. The player fakes a shot to get the defender up in the air or off-balance so that the player can either shoot the ball or drive by the defender to the rim. Curry is a great shooter, a player who may very well go down as the greatest shooter to ever play the game.
The Warriors featured a balanced attack led by Draymond Green’s second triple-double in as many games – 13 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds – the first Warrior to accomplish that feat since Wilt Chamberlain in 1964.
The basketball gods have blessed the Golden State Warriors with a baby-faced assassin, 15 ride-or-die teammates and a coaching staff that can keep up.
During the 1985-86 season, Larry Bird led the entire league in made three-pointers.
While there are many franchises that would be thrilled to have a winning streak half as long as Golden State’s, Curry told reporters, per Diamond Leung of the San Jose Mercury News, after beating the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday that this team has discussed the big number.
