Golden State Warriors Stay flawless With 104-96 Victory Over Chicago Bulls
Now, Curry and the Golden State Warriors are right on the cusp of adding another accomplishment in an incredible year.
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 27 points and four steals. The shorthanded Bulls played without Derrick Rose (ankle), Aaron Brooks (hamstring) and Mike Dunleavy (back).
From an effective field goal percentage perspective, this will be a matchup of two heavyweights.Barnes hit three of his six three-point attempts on a 20-point night. No doubt Cool Head Luke has been remarkably adept in maintaining a championship team’s equilibrium and drive, never losing poise when the Warriors fell behind the Clippers by 23 points, relentlessly imploring the players that they could win as they gradually completed a comeback that mesmerized a sports nation.
New Orleans recorded just their second win of the season, shocking the San Antonio Spurs 104-90 as Ryan Anderson let loose for his second straight 30-point game.
The Bulls were actually really good against the Warriors on Friday.
The Golden State Warriors remained unbeaten with a 106-94 win over the Chicago Bulls at Oracle Arena on Friday night.
Last month, SB Nation’s Blog a Bull wrote on how the right baseline is a key component of Jimmy Butler’s game.
Curry tallied 25 points, four assists and five rebounds and Barnes scored 20 to go along with nine rebounds. “I respect them and we believe the good days will add up”. A jumper by Mirotic gave the Bulls a 42-40 lead, but the Warriors took the advantage into halftime. “This is the biggest game of the season for them so far”, Walton said.
Yet the Warriors were allowing 34 points in the first quarter their previous three games, including 41 to the Clippers on Thursday night.
It was the Bulls who gave. According to ESPN, they have a 76 percent chance to do so. It’s a copycat league, as the saying goes, and any opposing coaches worth their salaries will study what worked until they figure out how to solve it or render it so common that it loses its luster. “They play together. The ball movement is great. It’s definitely something we can learn from”. But in the end, the lineup of doom saved the day, giving the Warriors a shot at history.
That lineup outscored the Bulls by nine points over the final 3:58 of the game.
“We need stops. We can’t turn the ball over”, Walton said firmly during one fourth-quarter timeout, banging his clipboard. “I got to be more aggressive offensively and look for my opportunities”.
MIAMI (AP) – Philadelphia was ahead most of the night, even building its biggest lead of the season. A good center is still valued in the National Basketball Association, but is no longer necessary and the landscape is changing thanks, in part, to the reigning defending champions, the Golden State Warriors.
Aron Baynes’ Detroit side continued their positive season start, breaking their Minnesota hoodoo with a 96-86 win over the slumping Timberwolves as centre Andre Drummond dominated the glass yet again with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
A win on Sunday night in Denver would match the 15-0 starts by the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets.
“We love their team and check them out all the time”, said Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who hosted Kerr at training camp two summers ago when a rookie coach wanted to learn from a Super Bowl champion. For us, it’s something special. It’s history. We can mark our place. We have to grind on the road.
“The issue he’s faced over the last two games is that guys are trying to get into him, hold him, grab him, and do whatever possible to disrupt him”. On the season, the Warriors have compiled 406 assists to their opponents’ 290.
