Curry Wills Warriors With Game-winner in OKC
They have won four straight since returning from the All-Star break with a 137-105 loss at Portland on February 19 – with the latest victory coming in more typical fashion following an unfamiliar stretch of close games. Russell Westbrook had a massive game of 44 points and nine assists while Kevin Durant added 32 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists but it still wasn’t enough as the Pelicans dominated the bench scoring by 60-20. In his last two games, the MVP has produced 93 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists, and in the month of February, is averaging an eye-watering statline of 35.7 PPG, 5.9 RPG, and 7.4 APG. “It was the deep paint shots, it was the 3-point line, it was everything really”. He became the first player with three 50-point games in a season since LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in 2008-09.
With the game tied, Curry hit a 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds left on the clock to give Golden State a 121-118 win against the Thunder.
In a recent interview with Bay Area News Group podcast “Warriors Plus/Minus”, the player expanded on previous chatters on how other teams could take down the Warriors.
Warriors: F Kevon Looney and C Festus Ezeli (L knee surgery, not with the team) were placed on the inactive list.
In 30 games against teams with records below.500, the Thunder are a solid 26-4, with surprising losses to the Knicks, Nets and a few other bottom-dwellers.
Durant fouled out 47 seconds into OT with the Thunder leading 108-103.
“Tell Big Jimmy you and I have illegal screens for days to allow Steph to get his shot off!” Green has recorded double-digit assists in seven games since the calendar turned to 2016 and leads the league in triple-doubles with 11. They need a third scorer and they have guys that are certainly capable like Serge Ibaka and Enes Kanter. As a result, barring one that features a devastating injury to a star player, a single game has little actual impact.
Everyone should be available for the Thunder in this game as they are relatively healthy. Cedric Ceballos and Stephen Jackson said in interviews the teams they played on – including the “We Believe” Warriors in the 2006-07 season – would have beaten the current Warriors.
