How Can National Basketball Association Teams Slow Down Stephen Curry? Find Out The

“I guess that shows the resiliency of this team – on the road against a good Clippers team, down 23, we never felt like we were out of it. We fought our way back, got within one, but then they went up by 10”.

Winning – not wins, but winning – is a feat and a mindset built by repetition.

Yet as wonderful as Curry has been, Draymond Green has played an equally important part in the Warriors’ success, not only against the Clippers, but all season. The Warriors are a whole different team and so is this team, but anybody can be beat.

There was just one little ticking problem, though…

These are the new standards set by the Warriors.

A career-high five three-pointers helped Humphries to 23 points, while John Wall had 15 points and 11 assists to put a poor run behind them.

The Warriors aren’t flawless. They’re trying to get to where the Warriors are at, but even 43 minutes of the right kind of defense and offense weren’t enough. After winning its first four games, Los Angeles (6-5) has lost five of seven and is already six games behind Golden State in the Pacific Division. According to ESPN, since the start of the 2014 season, the Warriors have trailed by 20 six times.

Usually teams showcase their championship credentials by mid-January.

Curry scored 23 of his game-high 40 points in the second half and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Warriors rallied for a 124-117 over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night at Staples Center. “This is the biggest game of the season for them so far”, Walton said.

“Well, we got to keep working on it”, head coach Doc Rivers said about not closing out the game.

But what brought tears to Clippers fans eyes was when Blake Griffin stepped out of bounds with 50 seconds to go in the game, turning the ball over.

It’s not that the Warriors maintain flawless execution themselves. “There’s a reason why they’re champions”. He had outscored the Warriors, 18-16, when he checked out of the game to “CP3!” chants with 3:53 left in the quarter and the Clippers holding a 30-16 lead.

Point guard Stephen Curry broke a tie with a 3-pointer with 5:25 to play and forward Harrison Barnes finally provided a few breathing room with back-to-back 3s in the final 1:15 as the Golden State Warriors outlasted the Chicago Bulls 106-94 on Friday night for their 14th consecutive win. The way Thompson was smiling on his way back down the court.

“I love that. I miss that a lot”, he said. “He’s happier when he makes plays for people than when he makes plays for himself”. A Sixers win would certainly be poetic, but you don’t really need an algorithm to tell you how unlikely that is to happen at this point. “We did a good job of taking them out of that in the second half”.

What differentiated the two sides on Thursday night was resiliency and trust.

And that’s the secret behind the Warriors’ super start.

“It’s very impressive”, Walton said. It’s probably the safest bet, and when faced with a 4-on-3 scenario, they chose to leave Iguodala open. They are to be savored, not to merely be consumed and checked off the list.

The California, Pacific Division or Western Conference rivalry – whatever you want to call it – is about as hot as it comes in the National Basketball Association right now. “And we’re staying in the moment, too. But by the time the game started, he wasn’t with us anymore”.
