Can any team beat the Golden State Warriors

But the Bulls wouldn’t go away.

The Spurs, considered one of the main threats to the Warriors in the Western Conference, won their third straight game to improve their record to 6-2, while the Blazers fell to 4-5.

Jimmy Butler had 28 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for the Bulls.

Kobe Bryant played 37 minutes for Los Angeles but scored just 10 points.

Kirk Hinrich hit a tying three-pointer with 5:44 to go only to see Curry knock one down moments later to put his team back up 92-89. They led by no more than six points over the first three quarters, and took a mere four-point lead into the fourth.

The Warriors sealed the deal, though, after a run starting with two minutes left and coming out of a timeout.

The Squad – the Warriors’ small lineup featuring Draymond Green at center, Harrison Barnes at power forward, Andre Iguodala at small forward and Klay Thompson and Steph Curry at the guards – is simultaneously handsome and savage.

Next up for the Warriors, as they look to tie the best ever start to a season (15-0) are the Denver Nuggets in the mile high city, and should they win that they will look to be on their own when hosting the Los Angeles Lakers on November 24.

Curry tallied 25 points, four assists and five rebounds and Barnes scored 20 to go along with nine rebounds.

The Warriors overcame their most daunting obstacle yet yesterday by rallying from a 23-point deficit to beat the rival Clippers in Los Angeles.

“We have faith in all our guys and our lineups”, Walton said.

Ezeli clearly got the better of this matchup, putting up seven points, nine rebounds and two blocked shots during a plus-15, 23-minute effort.

The Warriors lost at Denver in their only game there last season during their 67-win campaign, but had a few good reasons for a letdown.

The Cleveland Cavaliers now lead the way with 9-3 records, closely followed by the 8-3 Chicago Bulls, but going into the fourth week of the National Basketball Association season a bunch of teams look to be in the playoff mix. “This is the biggest game of the season for them so far”, Walton said. G Leandro Barbosa returned from the flu a night earlier and Livingston played for the first time in three games after being sidelined with a strained left hip flexor.

“We’ve got to find a way to win that game and that’s on me”, Paul said. “But now that we’re within striking distance, we can answer that question – it’s real, and we want to get there”.

He missed his first two attempts Friday, but sank the next six on his way to 18 first-half points that helped give the Hornets the kind of decisive lead the Sixers (0-13) have not been able to rebound from this season.

Another factor that played into the Bulls’ hands: former Warriors assistant Pete Myers knowing the Golden State personnel from his days as one of Mark Jackson‘s right-hand men.

This was a game where the Warriors clearly weren’t at their best. “It’s a great goal, and it should be a fun game on Sunday”.

“No matter how bad we’re playing, we always feel like we have a shot”, said Curry, who also pulled down 11 rebounds.
