National Basketball Association wrap: Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry carry Warriors to 23-0

Despite the latest victory, Curry was disappointed in the play by his team’s reserves in the fourth quarter and lamented the fact that Thompson appeared to hurt his ankle after being forced to re-enter the game.

In his only visit to the Fieldhouse last season, Thompson also scored 39 points. While the rest of NBAdom debates over how long their winning streak will last (23-0 to start the season, 27-0 overall), the Warriors just take each game as it comes and look to have fun.

The Warriors already know they’ll be without Harrison Barnes on Friday night, as the forward will miss Golden State’s next two games with a sprained ankle.

Stephen Curry flirted with a triple-double after he finished with 29 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds for Golden State, which shot 54.7 percent in the win.

The eight-point difference in score between the Golden State Warriors and the Indiana Pacers hardly explains the story of last night’s match-up.

Golden State also has won 13 straight road games, snapping a tie with the 1969-70 New York Knicks for the league’s best road start. Thompson joined Splash Brother Stephen Curry and Cleveland’s J.R. Smith as the only players in National Basketball Association history with multiple games of at least 10 3-pointers (ESPN Stats & Information). They’re trying to win three in a row in Boston for the first time since 1974-75. He shot 14 for 24 from the field.

Golden State begins to surge after that, as Andre Igoudala makes the steal, before going behind the back and finishing on the other end.

Thompson played his best game of the season Tuesday in Indiana. The Warrior defeated the Pacers 131-123. That was as close as the Pacers could get.

Kevin Love added 18 points for the Cavaliers, who benefited from a second-half lineup adjustment by coach David Blatt and ended a three-game losing skid.

Joe Johnson scored 15 of his 22 points during the fourth quarter as the Brooklyn Nets held on for a 110-105 victory over the Houston Rockets. The Warriors are the first franchise in the four major pro sports leagues to have 16-game winning streaks in consecutive seasons. “Just have to try and build on it from here and have another great game on Friday”.

Steph Curry is having another MVP campaign, averaging 32.2 points, five rebounds and six assists per game.
