Golden State Warriors beat Brooklyn Nets, improve to 22-0

Golden State is already 9-1/2 games clear atop the Pacific Division ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers, who had a narrow win against Orlando, while the pick of the Eastern Conference games saw Charlotte secure a creditable win at Chicago.

On the next possession, Curry gave the Warriors the lead for good with an uncontested three-pointer. The Mavericks took the lead early in the third quarter and pulled away in the fourth. At this point, Curry is still scoring over 30 points per game on average.

Brook Lopez’s bank shot from the top of the key, and a three by Shane Larkin gave the Nets a 75-70 lead with 3:10 remaining in the third.

Stephen Curry scored 28 points, Draymond Green racked up 22 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, and Klay Thompson had 21 points as the Warriors improved to 4-0 on their seven-game trip.

“When we’re doing it right, it’s fun”, says Warriors forward Andre Iguodala.

Stephen Curry scored 44 points to lead the Warriors.

Last season Curry and the Warriors defeated the Raptors by 24 points. And especially againt the great teams in the National Basketball Association, a balanced approach is a more practical and sustainable way to win.

Is Patterson back? While Patman is still struggling with his shot as he went 0-2 from 3, and 2-5 overall from the field, he still had an impact on the game. That was the case with the Warriors Saturday night. “When he needs to he can and when he doesn’t need to he takes a backseat to those guys”. “We constantly encourage our guys to be on the attack”. “He’s a great player”.

“We have confidence. When the times get tough we continue to compete and rely on each other”, said forward Green. Once he starts to get going, starts to get in his rhythm, it’s hard to stop the whole team.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the win moved Golden State past the St. Louis Maroons of the Union Association, a predecessor to Major League Baseball, for the best start to a season by a USA professional sports team.

Marc Gasol led Memphis with 22 points. “We were transitioning easy buckets for them, and they got the lead back”.

“If I shoot it in the moment I think it’s a good shot and I have confidence and I expect to make it”, Curry said.

Coming off consecutive 40-point games, Curry was having a relatively quiet and even puzzling night – he missed his first three free throws – before helping the Warriors regain control against a team that almost beat them earlier this season and looked capable of finishing the job this time.

Lack of team contribution: It’s no secret that when the Raptors share the ball and have a balanced attack on offense, they win.

Lopez missed from point-blank range at the regulation buzzer on November 14 and the Warriors beat the Nets in overtime at home. That’s what they came out and did in the first quarter. Then, they blew out the Brooklyn Nets.

“We battled and scratched and clawed, but they just stayed with their game until they overwhelmed us later on”. After making a 3, Steph Curry with another. “I love Lionel. He was the best”, Luke Walton said. Every time we step onto the court our confidence is high. I’m a perfectionist, so it’s a gift and a curse for me – I don’t enjoy it like I should. I felt like we had a letdown because of that in the second quarter. But mentally I feel like we had a little bit of a letdown in the second and third quarters, which obviously you don’t like to see.
