Golden State Warriors rally to beat Los Angeles Clippers, remain unbeaten

“Obviously, you don’t get a trophy for it, but it’s just a nice story line and a nice way to start the season”, he said.

Reigning league MVP Stephen Curry poured 13 of his 40 points in the final quarter as the defending National Basketball Association champions stormed from 23 down to an improbable 124-117 road victory over the LA Clippers and a 13-0 record. Chicago put Butler in iso situations and used the pick and roll to either get him open or kick out to a shooter. They even are drawing humility from the Clippers.

LeBron James scored 27 points, and Kevin Love added 22 points and 15 rebounds as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Milwaukee Bucks 115-100 on Thursday night. Should the Warriors win that one, too, they’ll sit alone atop this particular mountain. “And if we’ve got the chance to do it, why not?”

The lead was 96-92 before Barnes buried the first of his 3s with 1:15 to go, making it a seven-point game. “I’m sure they know what’s at stake, but we want to come out and play well and chase history”. “Then we were able to make some shots and run away with it”. The Warriors are looking to remain undefeated in the season and preserve their 25-home game winning streak in the regular season that started after their January loss to the Bulls. “I thought right at the end of the second quarter is when we stopped playing with the same force we played with the first quarter and a half”.

“But they made every big shot”. “Their ball found everyone”.

Ryan Anderson hit six three-pointers and scored 30 points for the second straight game.

“We battled them the whole game”, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala were rested while Marreese Speights served a suspension.

His comments come days after Harper began talking about the team on Twitter, before eventually losing interest.

Golden State is off to a 13-0 start overall with an 8-5 mark against the spread.

It was the Stephen Curry show again last night against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Green’s 3-pointer beat the buzzer and left the Warriors trailing 91-85 heading into the fourth.

But it was a close-run win, as the pumped-up Clippers raced to a big lead over their Pacific Division rivals, led by point guard Chris Paul. They were already playing short-handed in the backcourt as Shaun Livingston missed a second straight game because of a strained hip flexor and Leandro Barbosa had a virus. Draymond Green contributed 19 points, nine assists and six rebounds.

The Clippers looked the best they had all season in the first quarter.

The Clippers were missing J.J. Redick for a third consecutive game because of back spasms. Golden State has had some close calls at home lately, barely defeating Toronto by 5 and Brooklyn in overtime.
