Best of NBA: Warriors throttle Tim Duncan-less Spurs

After one of the most impressive performances by any team in the National Basketball Association all season, next for the Golden State Warriors is a chance to beat the only team they have faced that they’ve yet to defeat.

And if you look further down the road, to the very end of the regular season, you can see that Golden State will play their last four games at home against San Antonio, at Memphis, at San Antonio and then at home against Memphis to conclude their epic season. “This core has been together for a while and understands how to mentally prepare for nights like this”.

Curry crushed the Spurs with three more 3-pointers in the third quarter, during which the Warriors ran up a 95-66 lead to set the stage for an inconsequential final 12 minutes.

Kerr said that Curry’s range “distorts the chess board”, via CSN’s Monte Pool, and there is not a more accurate way to describe it. Golden State’s style might be best explained as an extreme form of attacking chess.

Stephen Curry was on fire against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.

He had 37 points on Monday night (he also had 5 steals because Curry can D up also). In one of the most anticipated matchups of the season, the now 41-4 Golden State Warriors took on the the second place San Antonio Spurs, who arrive at Oracle Area 38-6.

“They outplayed us in every single aspect of the game”, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said.

The Spurs were chasing a win that would have left the conference’s top teams only one game apart, but were never in the contest against a Warriors team that has now won 39 consecutive home games. Howard had a double-double in the first two games against the Spurs. “Because it might have gotten me fired”. “I don?t feel like that every night.”…

“It was like men and boys out there tonight”, the San Antonio coach said.

The Spurs averaged an 18-point margin of victory during their winning streak. He surpassed his career best of 48 points set in the previous game, Saturday’s victory over Indiana.

Daniels canned eight of 11 3-point tries, while Cousins made 21 of 30 shots and topped the 40-point mark for the third time this season.

The reigning champions scored 62 points in the first half to rout their opponents.

Golden State’s bench also was a key factor, with guards Shaun Livingston and Brandon Rush scoring 13 points each and forward Marreese Speights chipping in with 12 points. Wade scored 10 in the fourth quarter alone.

WASHINGTON – Isaiah Thomas continued to torment Washington with 23 points and nine assists as Boston finished off a four-game season of the Wizards.

And as good as Curry was offensively, Green was maybe better defensively, swarming Aldridge and Leonard so much so that his exhaustion compelled him to ask Kerr to pull him for a rest in the first half, the first time Green has ever requested such a sitdown. But it was as if they wanted to make a point that they weren’t scared and that maybe their guy Draymond Green should be the DPOY.
