Klay Thompson injures ankle but X-ray results are negative

He made 10 three pointers, all in the first three quarters, and looked like he couldn’t miss. We had a double-digit lead.

“For us it wasn’t a conversation at all until about win 12 or 13”, Curry said. We can take you back long before the tipoff. At this point in the season, that might be the only way to knock off the reigning NBA Champions who are buzz-sawing their way through the rest of the league.

The Warriors are 23-0, edging closer to the Los Angeles Lakers’ all-time winning streak record of 33 games set in the 1971-1972 season.

Golden State has won four straight in the series, with Thompson finishing with 31 points in a 114-111 home victory January 25 and Stephen Curry scoring 37 in a 106-101 win at Boston on March 1.

Thompson went 10 for 16 on 3s. He just also happens to be one of the best – if not, the best – shooter in National Basketball Association history.

“I think they’ve got a great coach”, Walton said. “Going in I felt great”.

As talented as Curry has been, the Warriors are far from a one-man team. Thompson, who suffered a sprained ankle near the end of a 39-point performance in a 131-123 win at in on Tuesday, told reporters Thursday he was at about “70 percent” and hoped to play against the Celtics.

The Golden State Warriors’ formal practice had long since ended yesterday, and there was Steph Curry cruising around the perimeter by the east hoop in the Bobbi Brown & Steven Plofker Gym at Emerson College.

Thompson has recently rehabbed back soreness that plagued him earlier in the season.

James finished with 10 rebounds and three assists as the Cavaliers halted a three-game losing streak with a gutsy victory. They have the same emotional drain, probably more than the staff, and they physically must be exhausted by this point in the trip. Curry makes impossible, throat-cutting plays that somehow look both human and imbued with a kind of sweetness, if not mercy. The Portland team they downed some eight months ago in no way resembles the Portland squad that is working its way through a rebuilding effort in 2015-16, but hey – 27 straight wins are 27 straight wins, y’know? It’s not just Stephen, it’s not just Klay. “They’re going to make some shots that shouldn’t go in”. Hint: It isn’t Golden State. The Warriors have won 76 consecutive games when they lead by 15 or more points. We were thrilled with the way we played during the first three quarters. Hill played a season-high 21 minutes, finishing with six points and nine rebounds as well generating a plus-9 – one of two Pacers to produce a positive plus/minus number.

The ability to knock down 3-pointers at will and force teams to guard all five guys on the floor is what makes the Warriors so deadly especially in the small ball lineup. The Warriors were playing small ball before teams such as the Pacers thought small ball was cool. Good luck. Before the game, Pacers coach Frank Vogel noted Indiana’s new up-tempo style was “light years” behind Golden State, and it showed.
