Andre Iguodala has to step up for the Golden State Warriors

Boston visits Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. The Warriors came into the game having won 54 in a row at home and Celtics managed to what was an National Basketball Association record streak.

Things have been a little down lately, with the team suffering back to back losses for the first time in almost two years, both games of which they did not have Durant (He left 93 seconds into the game against the Washington Wizards so he might as well of not played).

“They did a good job of guarding the 3”, Thompson said. But that second unit was great, and we stuck with them a long time. That was about the last thing to go right for Golden State as the Celtics won for the second straight year on the Warriors’ home floor 99-86. The Spurs trailed by 25 in the first half and reached the 50-win mark for the 18th consecutive season, the longest such streak in league history.

“We’re in a tough spot in the schedule and with KD’s injury”.

To rub salt in the wound, Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas was showered with chants of “M-V-P” from the Celtics fans in attendance at Oracle Arena late in the game. He’ll have to answer for every move he makes. Just because you win doesn’t mean everything is solved defensively, anything like that.

Paul Pierce, 10-time NBA All-Star and the 2008 Finals MVP, announced his retirement from the game of basketball on September, 26, 2016.

“I didn’t say anything to anyone to be honest”, Brown said. There’s no way we’re just going to let them play the whole quarter, especially with the stretch that we’re on. Golden State lost this one in a disastrous fourth quarter that included a staggering nine turnovers. Seconds later, he’d find himself in the passing lane to swipe an errant James Young pass, starting a fast break that ended seconds later with another three, this time from the corner. He tried to go through shootaround to no avail. Two days after sinking the Bulls, the almost-37-year-old dropped 19 on the Celtics on the strength of a 4-for-5 performance from deep.

DeAndre Jordan had 20 points and 13 rebounds, and Blake Griffin scored 16 points for the Clippers. He missed eight of 10 free throws in the second quarter.

But unlike last season’s 109-106 win on April Fool’s Day last season, tonight’s victory was led by the kind of defensive showing that has been rarely seen by Boston as they limited the Warriors to a season-low scoring total.

Boston is not the team you want to face after a lengthy road trip.

“I think if, maybe… maybe if LeBron went hard, everybody else would follow suit, cause they’d be like, ‘Hey, if he’s going hard, we gotta go hard, ‘” Thomas said when asked about the game.

Kerr will consider resting players as needed this weekend after checking with the training staff. Seems kind of insane, but here we go. Davis was fouled by Normal Powell as he tried to catch an alley-oop pass. Davis, who shoots right-handed, made two free throws after the foul, but never emerged from the locker room after halftime.

The Celtics complete their West Coast swing Friday when they take on the Denver Nuggets.
