Golden State Warriors Unbeatable, Los Angeles Clippers Losers

“They have been the last two games, the previous year”.

Stephen Curry scored 40 points in the Warriors’ improbable comeback Thursday in Los Angeles. It was a hard-fought game with a playoff atmosphere, just like every Warriors-Clippers game.

The victory allowed the Warriors to equal the all-time record for consecutive wins at the start of a season for a reigning champion, matching the feat of the 1957-58 Boston Celtics.

Curry’s three-pointer with 5:26 to play broke another tie and Harrison Barnes drained back-to-back three-pointers in the final 1:15 as the Warriors finally pulled away.

Jimmy Butler is coming off a excellent performance in which he scored 32 points in a win against the Phoenix Suns.

NOTES: The Warriors are now 4-0 on the second night of back-to-backs this season…. Nikola Mirotic converted three free throws the next time down for an 82-81 Bulls lead.

Paul tallied 35 points and eight assists after sitting out the previous two games and three of the last five games with his groin injury, numbers that won’t provide any solace after his team was outscored 22-5 to end the game.

The Bulls limited Curry to two points in the second period and just 10 in the half.

The Bulls’ 113-111 overtime win on January 27 snapped Golden State’s then-franchise record 19-game home winning streak. “I don’t know if suddenly he has morphed into something that he wasn’t previous year”, Blatt told reporters who asked if Dellavedova had improved dramatically over the off season.

“It’s great”, Walton said.

2015-16 Golden State Warriors … They evened the score at 92-92 on a three by Kirk Hinrinch with under six minutes to play, but Curry answered for the Warriors, knocking down a trey in response.

It’s hard to imagine Curry continuing this level of play for 82 games, but if he comes close to playing this well for the entire season, it will be hard for Golden State to lose more than 12 times.

Green: Green picked up his fourth foul early in the third quarter. “All we can do is watch the film, correct a few mistakes and go on the road and win a game [Friday] night”. Going into training camp, the coaching staff wasn’t sure that was going to be the case.

Included in the crowd: The San Francisco 49ers defensive line before the team travels Saturday to Seattle. No other team in league history has even won 70 games, and the idea of Golden State doing so is thought to be far-fetched by many. Warriors GM Bob Myers was Hoiberg’s agent during the former guard’s playing days.

“We’re not approaching it like they’re ungodly”, Clippers guard Austin Rivers said at the morning shoot-around. After the game, Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley attempted to try and make sense of what happened during it, and they chose an interesting way to do it. While discussing the rivalry that exists between Steph Curry and Chris Paul, Smith made a decision to break it down by comparing the players to battle rappers and name-dropped guys like Murda Mook, Shotgun Suge, Charlie Clips, and…wait, whaaaaat?

Warriors: Sunday at Denver, where Golden State has lost 17 of 21.
