Warriors Break Another Record

Then Harrison Barnes and Andre Igoudala exploded. The Warriors average 101.6 possessions and 1.131 points per possession, while the Suns average 100.6 possessions with 1.008 points per possession. “The down side, especially at this level, is if things don’t go well, you’re going to get canned”. Not only is Golden State in hot pursuit of Chicago’s NBA-record 72-10 season, but the Warriors have now won 42 straight at home – zeroing in on the Bulls’ all-time record of 44.

Curry scored 26 of his 35 points in the first half, during which Golden State led by as many as 16. The Warriors jumped off to a 15-point lead in the first quarter (43-28).

Durant, Curry, Thompson. Three very ball-dominant players who take up a large portion of touches for their respective teams. Center Andrew Bogut was one of the players to step up as he had 13 points, 11 rebounds and a season-best six blocked shots for his first double-double since December 23.

I’m glad Steve Kerr retaliated with the Hack-a-Dwight after Bickerstaff purposely fouled Bogut.

It wasn’t the Dubs’ best effort of the season, but they came through when it counted most, outscoring Houston 30-17 in the fourth quarter after entering the period tied at 93-93.

His fourth-quarter output equaled that of the entire Rockets team.

Anthony said shortly before tipoff that the Knicks locker room had been taken by surprise by team president Phil Jackson’s decision to dump Fisher. “They’re deep and they’re that good”.

James Harden and the Rox channeled their inner Lee Corso in shaking off the slow start, and returned fire with a 39-point quarter of their own to pull within three.

The victory gave the Timberwolves more wins than they had all of last season when they won just 16 games. The other Splash Brother, Klay Thompson, stepped up big in that win with 38 points. He drops a cool 19 points in the first quarter on 7-of-8 shooting.

“It’s shocking, really”, Kerr said. Or they sleepwalk through the game and by halftime there is so much of a mountain to climb it seems near impossible. Curry hit seven 3-pointers and also found time for nine assists.

To learn even more, compare the total number of assists and rebounds for each team.

Minnesota trailed by 18 points before a big second half lifted the Timberwolves to a win in their last game before the NBA All-Star break. Portland, 12-3 in its past 15 games, climbed into a tie with Utah for seventh place in the West.

Earlier in the 2015-2016 campaign, the Warriors set a league record by winning 24 consecutive games to start the season. C Festus Ezeli (L knee surgery) was listed as out.

So on Tuesday night, the Houston Rockets tried something different: stick its best perimeter defender Trevor Ariza on Draymond Green, instead, and close out on Curry when necessary.

The Houston Rockets stood up to the NBA’s top team, but the Warriors showed once again they’re usually up for the test, making history in the process. They stormed to their eighth straight home win and their 10th in their past 12 games overall as both teams hit the All-Star break.
