Green equals team record as Warriors roll

For five straight trips down the court, Draymond Green knew he needed just one more assist for a triple-double.

Thompson scored 22 points in the first quarter, which helped the Warriors notch 37 points over the first 12 minutes.

The San Jose Barracuda minor league hockey team continues its homestand tomorrow night when they take on the Stockton Heat. Bosh scored 31 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Dwyane Wade had 27 including a layup that beat the buzzer and forced overtime, and the Heat erased an 18-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Pacers 103-100 on Monday. “It’s just frustrating and annoying and any other adjective you want to throw in there”. It’s just about playing through an injury.

Curry stayed in the game after knocking legs with Roy Hibbert in the third quarter, leaving the star guard with obvious frustration on his face.

The Warriors held the upper hand through most of the first half after a 12-2 flurry that broke a 20-20 tie late in the first quarter.

Even as the Warriors completed their 109-88 torching of the Lakers, all of the attention was on the status of the NBA Most Valuable Player, who reinjured the bruised left shin that has bothered him since December 28. The Warriors went on a 14-2 run, capped off by a Thompson three.

Jordan Clarkson led the Lakers with 23 points, but their next-highest scorer was Lou Williams with 10 points despite going 0 for 7 from the field.

Of course, then that ruffian would have to deal with an angry Draymond Green, who in his inimitable Dray-ness, would start a fight and then rack up a triple-double. Each player sank a three-pointer on the Dubs’ first two possessions of the game, and that proved to be a sign of things to come. “We just have to be better”.

Consistent with their league-leading 42.1 season percentage on three-pointers, the Warriors bombed in 15 of their 34 tries (44.1 per cent) from beyond the arc, outscoring Charlotte 45-21 on threes in the process. G Leandro Barbosa (left shoulder sprain) and F James Michael McAdoo (sprained toe, left foot) remain sidelined. During the timeout, he took to the bench and had Warriors trainer Chelsea Lane work on his leg. He was able to return to the game before checking out for good in the fourth quarter with the Warriors up by 30.

Boston’s Jae Crowder scored a career-high 25 points with a strong start and a clutch finish, steering the Celtics to a 103-94 victory against Brooklyn, which has lost seven straight home games.
