Golden State Warriors set record for best start in National Basketball Association history
At times the game resembled a training exercise for the Warriors as they sprinted into a 30-11 first quarter lead against their outclassed opponents, effectively scoring at will.
The Golden State Warriors made history against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
Walton said the Warriors will lose.
The Warriors beat the Lakers 111-77 to clinch the all-important 16-0 record.
It hasn’t been easy to be away as he heals.
“We also reminded them that it’s November”, Walton continued.
We’re witnessing history, but it’s deeper than the latest notch on their belt. He wants us having fun. Green had a +/- of 36, which tied Curry for the best net-positive players on the team.
With the winning start in the bag, the Warriors may now be tempted to look at the Chicago Bulls all-time season record as a possibility.
But who will stop the Warriors? “You always wanted for this organization to be in this position”. Mindfulness means focusing on the task at hand, not getting distracted by the surrounding noise. There’s mindfulness. There’s compassion-for each other and for the game of basketball.
“Coach has been great, even behind the scenes. He knew what he wanted, worked for it and now it’s paying off for him”, Richardson said. The Suns have the next shot at stopping this incredible start when the Warriors visit Phoenix Friday night. After that, the Warriors return home to host Sacramento on Saturday. 23, 1991…. Walton confirmed before the game his auto was stolen last week in Oakland and he credited authorities apprehending and charging a suspect.
“So far we’ve been unblemished and done everything we need to do to get 16 wins”.
“It gives us more fire and drive, and maybe that’s the reason why we’ve started the way we have”.
The 1948-49 Washington Capitols, coached by Red Auerbach, and the 1993-94 Houston Rockets, led by Hakeem Olajuwon, had 15-0 season openings. No Golden State starter even saw the floor in the final frame.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry goes to the basket against the Los Angeles Lakers, during their game in Oakland on Tuesday, November 24, 2015. He recalls when they were winning almost every night. “Keep fingers crossed nobody gets hurt and just keep on going”.
Last night’s 34-point shellacking, which saw Bryant held to four points on 1-of-14 shooting from the field, vindicates the confidence Scott, Magic, and the Black Mamba put in their doubts.
As Golden State’s lead continue to balloon to as many as 41 points, Bryant became increasingly irritated with his own performance, as well as the team’s. But Bryant kept the humor light in acknowledging nothing could be done against a dominant team. You kind of coast, and you kind of fall into a malaise.
For some big-picture perspective, Golden State is the third team in major American pro sports to win this many games from the jump.
Pacers 123, Wizards 106 – Paul George scored a season-high 40 points and made seven 3-pointers, part of a franchise-record 19 by Indiana.
“Is it likely? No”, Walton said. “Eventually we will lose”.
The Warriors will now seek to match the record for consecutive victories during an National Basketball Association regular season, which is 33 games, set by the 1972 Lakers.
The game was tied at 5-5 in the fourth minute of the game before the Warriors blew it open with a 25-6 flurry to end the first period.
