Curry lights up Wizards for Warriors’ 8th straight win
John Wall was selected as the lone Wizard, as an alternate for the Eastern Conference. We challenged some shots.
“Though at 7’1” Chamberlain looked like a man playing among boys in the 1960s and 70s, when league averages in scoring for the season routinely surpassed the 110 point mark, his many improbable numbers are no less eye-popping. They already are, but a second championship ring while also setting a new record for wins in a regular season will make it official.
Curry finished 19-of-28 from the field, including 11-of-16 on three-pointers for his fourth career game with at least 50 points. “You find a rhythm and find the rim”. “At the end of the game, yeah, I knew I was within reach”. That’s how you do it. It comes within the flow of the game, within the flow of the offense.
Draymond Green tallied his league-leading 10th triple-double of the season with 12 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds to go along with five blocks.
We wouldn’t be surprised to see Steph Curry successfully defend his Three-Point Contest title on All-Star Saturday night, and would be just as non-plussed if Klay Thompson – who finished second in last year’s shootout – beat his teammate this time around, too. Curry’s 51 points tied the Verizon Center record for most individual points, matching Michael Jordan and Gilbert Arenas.
“He told me I needed to watch my mouth”, Green said, smiling about his own talkative nature on the court.
Who wouldn’t want this athletically gifted seven-footer to shoot as much as possible?
SAN ANTONIO – LaMarcus Aldridge scored 36 points and San Antonio improved to 27-0 at home this season by beating New Orleans.
LeBron James’ 23 points, six assists and six rebounds weren’t enough to inspire the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were beaten 106-97 by the Charlotte Hornets.
Hawks 124, 76ers 86: Tim Hardaway Jr. and Mike Scott each had 13 points and Atlanta coasted past Philadelphia.
BOSTON – The Celtics almost blew a 24-point third-quarter lead but held on for their seventh win in the last eight games. Former Chaminade star Bradley Beal added 18 points.
Durant’s buzzer-beater capped a 37-point outing for Oklahoma City, which has won five straight and 12 of its last 13. Curry accounts for half of those games.
The Warriors are led by Stephen Curry, a sharpshooting guard who won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award past year.
PACERS 114, NETS 100: C.J. Miles had 27 points, Paul George scored 17 and the Indiana Pacers sent the Brooklyn Nets to their fifth straight loss, 114-100 on Wednesday night. DeMarcus Cousins led Sacramento (21-28) with 30 points and 11 rebounds.
Stephen Curry hit a whopping 11 3-pointers, falling one shot shy of an National Basketball Association single-game record.
