Durant sitting out for Golden State with bruised left hand

He went 0 for 10 against the Los Angeles Lakers on November 4, 2 for 10 against the Boston Celtics on November 18, 1 for 11 against the Milwaukee Bucks on November 19, and 1 for 11 against the Denver Nuggets on February 13.

Up 98-96 with 4:41 remaining, the Raptors scored the next six points, with back-to-back jump shots from Ibaka and a pair of free throws from DeRozan putting them up by eight with 3:16 remaining.

TRIPLE OVERDRIVE: The Warriors take a lot of 3-pointers, ranking fifth in the National Basketball Association.

In time, the Nets will have their own G-Baby moment (RIP) – until then, however, results like this are to be expected but, thankfully, there continue to be signs of life from your gritty, lovable, and hard-working Nets. I’m young, but I don’t know how to beat those guys.

Curry took his uncharacteristic performance, which included a pair of air-balls, in stride.

On Twitter, I get the sense that the faithful are growing exhausted of nights like these, but these growing pains are to be endured, not shamed. Obviously that’s why I got 11 of them up and not make one. “I still have confidence the next one is going in”. On the other hand the Warriors improved to 49-9 on the season.

Carmelo Anthony scored 37 points and hit the go-ahead jumper with three-tenths of a second remaining and NY survived a fourth-quarter collapse and escaped Madison Square Garden with a victory over Philadelphia. Klay Thompson is the third double-digit scorer and Draymond Green is grabbing 8.1 rebounds.

“There are games where the shots just aren’t falling”, Green said.

Forward Robert Covington had 20 points and 10 boards, and rookie forward Dario Saric contributed 19 and 15, respectively.

Utah converted 23 of 32 free throws, while Washington made 10 of 13.

Ricky Rubio had nine points and 11 assists to help the Timberwolves move within one game of the Kings as both teams try to catch Denver for the eighth spot in the West. It was just the second win in nine games for the Pacers and only their 10th road win of the season.

The Warriors are a perennial title contender thanks to their balanced roster and depth of weapons.

Certainly they have loftier goals after frittering away a 3-1 lead and losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals, and winning a title the year before.

“Putting this franchise back together”, Green said, “it’s incredible to see”.
