Klay Thompson scores 39 as Golden State Warriors roll on
It was his season high in points.
Thompson made eight of 10 shots from three-point range during the first 24 minutes, when the reigning National Basketball Association champions led by as many as 22.
They spent the last 12 minutes Tuesday trying to protect their flawless quest.
The Warriors are in the midst of a record-breaking 23-0 start to the season, but they may take the court without star shooting guard Klay Thompson for the first time this season on Friday when Golden State takes on the Celtics in Boston.
The Thunder, who needed a late jumper by Durant to beat the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, spent the majority of the game against the Grizzlies with a double-digit lead. The 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers hold the record with 33 consecutive wins. He added 29 points, making three three-pointers to match Rashard Lewis with an NBA-record 87 consecutive regular-season road games with at least one three.
The Splash Brothers teamed up to turn the Fieldhouse into a soggy mess as Klay Thompson has his best game of the season against the Pacers.
The Boston Celtics may only have to face off against half of Golden State’s Splash Brothers on Friday.
“It was one of those nights where I got a lot of great looks”.
IN was led by Paul George with 33 points and C.J. The Celtics are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Pacific and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
Pacers: Indiana has lost three straight for the first time since starting the season 0-3…. They feature the most electrifying player in the league, Stephen Curry, who was last year’s NBA MVP en route to the 2015 NBA Title. Golden State led by 28 in the fourth before in closed within six in the final 25 seconds.
The All-Star shooting guard also grabbed seven rebounds and handed out six assists.
Golden State begins to surge after that, as Andre Igoudala makes the steal, before going behind the back and finishing on the other end.
James, who this week clinched a lucrative lifetime sponsorship deal with Nike which could be worth as much as $500 million (458 million euros), had missed the Cavs’ defeat to Miami on Saturday. Boston isn’t an easy place to play, and the Warriors are going to have their backs against the wall if they’re going to keep their record ideal.
