Bulls Game Notes For Friday @ Golden State

Still, the Clippers shot it at a 60.5 percent clip in the first half, with Paul at 23 points. “Obviously we want him out there on the floor with us”.

Harrison Barnes then scored five straight Warriors points in the fourth to cut the lead to 93-90. The defending champions improved to 6-0 on the road.

In the second half, the Clippers continued to do everything right and they still lost. Blake Griffin added 27 points. The Warriors weren’t perfect-far from it-but it didn’t matter. “If we’ve got a chance to do it, why not?”

Slowly but surely, the Warriors showed championship poise in cutting down the lead from that point.

“Whether they shoot well or not, that’s what fuels their offense – easy buckets in transition off turnovers”, Curry said. “… If we played this era man, we’d be doing the same thing”. It will be the first of two nationally televised matchups between the two teams this season.

“They made big shots”. Their ball found anyone.

“We battled them the whole game”, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said.

Teletovic and Knight had consecutive three-pointers to make it 102-92 with 4 minutes, 26 seconds remaining.

Barnes and Curry have to share this one.

His comments come days after Harper began talking about the team on Twitter, before eventually losing interest.

Until, that is, Golden State’s first team stepped in to conquer that of the opposing Chicago Bulls, a 106-94 crusher that left fans in Oracle Arena overjoyed and giddy.

Stephen Curry scored 40 points in the Warriors’ improbable comeback Thursday in Los Angeles. Guard Klay Thompson scored 25 points for the Warriors.

The Clippers looked the best they had all season in the first quarter.

The Warriors are now the most consistent team in the league, and averaging the best Defense Rating (95.1) as well as Offensive Rating (110.7) says it all about the Warriors intentions in the season. G Shaun Livingston sat out with a strained left hip flexor.

The Warriors started the fourth quarter with both Curry and Thompson on the bench, and it allowed the Bulls to climb within two points.

Rivers said during his pregame press conference Paul (groin) will play, while J.J. Redick (back spasms) will likely be out. Golden State has had some close calls at home lately, barely defeating Toronto by 5 and Brooklyn in overtime. “It’s pretty impressive”, interim coach Luke Walton told reporters. “But from the first day of camp, the players were on the court ready to work and were competing. They put their personal goals aside and it’s all about the team goal”.

“At this point, you do”, forward Draymond Green said.
