Stephen Curry: Stephen Curry guides Warriors to 22nd win

The undefeated Golden State Warriors survived a late scare before stretching their winning streak to 25 consecutive games with a 112-109 victory against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (11) drives past Brooklyn Nets guard Markel Brown (22) in the first half of an NBA basketball game, Sunday, Dec. 6, 2015, in NY. On the next possession, he gave the Warriors the lead for good with an uncontested 3-pointer and finished the quarter by finding Ezeli for an alley-oop dunk before converting a 3-point play and knocking down a 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left.

News flash: barring a catastrophic injury to one of their two indispensable stars the Golden State Warriors are going to surpass the 72 win total of the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls. Former Warrior Jarrett Jack made three free throws and Joe Johnson nailed a 3-pointer with 2.6 seconds left. The Nets kept the pressure up and had a 75-70 lead with 3:10 remaining in the third quarter. After keeping alive their unbeaten streak with another escape act, the Warriors continue a seven-game road trip by visiting the Nets on Sunday. Draymond Green added 22 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. The Warriors won their 22nd game in a row 114-98, with Curry watching the final few minutes from the bench. We started to get stops and turn it into offense for us, and it changed the momentum of the game, ” said Curry. We went down 30 to 16 in the first quarter. Golden State has played more minutes up 15 this year than they have trailing. “So we just needed a little life”. “There most likely will come a time when we take a loss and have to deal with the emotions of that”.

“I think everybody’s staying in the moment”. After DeRozan went 1 for 2 at the line, Curry hit two more free throws. Plus he has a great team. He doesn’t have to go out there and do it all of the time. Two nights ago when they were in Charlotte he had 43. “We constantly encourage our guys to be on the attack”.

They were down big against the NBA’s best. The inbound pass from Lee capped a fourth quarter in which he scored 13 of his 18 points.

“We’ve got to calm the flame down”, Young said. They’ve gone through six back-to-backs this season unblemished.

“I enjoy coming back here and playing”. They’ve faced pretty much every situation possible. “They’re a resilient team”.

“That’s what great players can do”, Lionel Hollins said of Curry. Walton couldn’t be blamed if he had his fingers crossed when he turned to them to open the fourth quarter.

As an old friend of ours would say, “We battled”.

The real player who is indispensable is obviously the MVP. “You are just going out there and doing your thing and the other team has to match you”. I felt like we had a letdown because of that in the second quarter.

But the Nets lingered longer than it seemed they would. “As a coach you always feel like you can do more”. “[Our second group] gave us a lot of energy and they were out there fighting”. Really, we didn’t have to get the starters back in there at all in the fourth on the back end of a back-to-back and that was huge.
