Denver Nuggets’ Kenneth Faried ‘much better’ after neck injury

The Nuggets then announced that Faried was taken to the hospital for precautionary x-rays.

Of the overtime victory Golden State gained despite depletion, Curry praised, “Chips stacked against them, short bench, guys playing 40-plus minutes, found a way to scrap and claw, get stops down the stretch, fight through the fatigue factor, make a couple plays on the offensive plays as well”. Green opened the game 4 for 5 on 3-pointers, including his first 3, and finished with 18 points on a season-high six 3-pointers.

Stephen Curry is a huge piece of the Golden State Warriors, but Green is the glue that holds the team together.

Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston filled in the void left by Curry amply as well with 20 and 13 points, respectively, as the Warriors played with just 9 healthy players.

Will Barton, whose two shots late in regulation forced the extra period, missed an off-balance shot following Thompson’s go-ahead basket. Will Barton, a primary factor in the Denver rally with 21 points, missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer, and the Warriors had survived again to run their incredible record to 31-2. The fourth-year forward recorded his second consecutive triple-double and sixth of the season and it was a doozy: 29 points, 17 rebounds, 14 assists. He played 44 minutes, and the Warriors couldn’t afford for him to play any less. The Warriors will try to push their streak to 34 straight home wins when they host the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.

This story will be updated with quotes and post-game material from the Warriors locker room at Oracle Arena.

Kevin Durant had 29 points and 11 rebounds as Oklahoma City won its fourth straight game.

Curry went through his regular pregame routine after missing the past two games, including the team’s second defeat all season Wednesday at Dallas.

Interim coach Luke Walton talked about Kerr’s planned return. There is still no timetable for Warriors coach Steve Kerr’s return.

“I thought by now I’d already be back and playing, but the body’s a mystery”, Barnes said. “I don’t know how much he’s covering up and how much of it he’s actually feeling that much better, but he looked good, and it was nice having him there”. “Hopefully that means he’s getting closer”.

Curry, who leads the National Basketball Association is scoring, totaled only 5 points (on 2-of-6 shooting, 1-of-5 beyond the arc) before exiting with 2:16 left in the second quarter. “We’ve got to constantly check the treads on his tires”, Malone said.
