Ex-Washington State player Klay Thompson scores 39 as Golden State Warriors
Stephen Curry played a sensational floor game, dishing out 10 assists to get to 3,000 for his career.
The Thunder, who needed a late jumper by Durant to beat the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, spent the majority of the game against the Grizzlies with a double-digit lead. As long as they can stay healthy, the Golden State Warriors should have no problem breaking the Bulls’ best season record and repeating as National Basketball Association champions.
Afterwards Golden State will have four days off and then begin a five-game home stand as it tries to match the 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers record 33-game streak.
Navigating a long stretch of road games unscathed may start to bring talk of an undefeated season for Golden State.
“Steph gets a lot of attention because he’s incredible, but they’re a great team”, Pacers head coach Frank Vogel said, per Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star.
Warriors interim coach Luke Walton has noticed some not-so-subtle changes around the league this season. However, he suffered a sprained ankle towards the end of the game and was questionable to play against Boston.
“We’re going to take it as another game”, said Sullinger, who notched 10 points and 16 rebounds against Chicago.
The time off could serve the Warriors and Thompson some good, especially after back-to-back nights against Boston and Milwaukee.
The other: Letting Indiana back into the game. A 31-point fourth quarter from the Warriors gave them a 106-101 win, with Curry dropping 37 points and Thompson pouring in another 20 points.
“When they go on runs like that one, they go on runs with three-pointers”, Miles said. “Every guy is out there to make plays”. “I know they’re coming in with a hot streak”. The reigning MVP drew headlines earlier in the day by saying he hopes to top Michael Jordan as the greatest player in history. However, Curry does average 51.6 points per 48 minutes without his brother.
Joe Johnson scored 15 of his 22 points during the fourth quarter as the Brooklyn Nets held on for a 110-105 victory over the Houston Rockets. In the previous 16 games, the Pacers had limited opponents to 96.9 points and 32.8 percent shooting on 3s…. They’re trying to win three in a row in Boston for the first time since 1974-75.
