Nets Can’t Close Out Warriors At Home

Ezeli scored 12 points and guard Leandro Barbosa contributed eight of his 11 early in the fourth. Curry put up 44 points and dished out seven assists.

But it was the first time in his career that he had accomplished the feat in consecutive games. Curry spoke on the team’s success this year saying, “Twenty-one different challenges and we’ve been able to separate each one individually and figure out different ways of winning”.

“I have great memories of being here watching my dad play. So the mentality we had over the summer was to enjoy the accomplishments and come back even better, stronger, and a more efficient team”, said Curry, who is leading the league with 32.6 points per game. “It’s a familiar setting”.

Second quarter, Raps down 34-21, Lowry drops the three ball, that made it a ten point game.

The Warriors started the game on a 9-0 run and, well, it was a sad reminder of Friday vs. the Knicks.

Nets coach Lionel Hollins didn’t hold back in his conviction that his team should’ve won Sunday.

“They love the stage, they love that centre stage and they love competing at the highest level”.

Draymond Green added 22 points, nine rebounds and seven assists and Klay Thompson scored 21 for the Warriors.

“If I shoot it in the moment I think it’s a good shot and I have confidence and I expect to make it”, Curry said.

“That’s the biggest thing for us: Every night trying to lock in and focus and bring the effort”. DeMar DeRozan recovered from a 1-for-10 shooting performance in the first half to finish with 16 points.

Curry scored 10 points in the final 3:36 of the game– the first 3-pointer came when the Raptors held a 98-95 lead and Curry tied the game; a minute later, Curry nailed another long bomb that gave the Warriors a 102-100 lead and Curry went 4-of-4 from the free throw line to put some safe distance against a Raptors squad that had multiple chances of stealing the game. On Wednesday in Charlotte, he scored 28 of his 40 points in the third quarter, on a night in which Curry’s father, Dell, a former Hornet was honored by the team.

When the Warriors defeated the Toronto Raptors 112-109 Saturday night, point guard Stephen Curry added the next chapter into his stellar game log in Toronto.

Curry made two foul shots before Lowry made a driving lay-up with 44.2 seconds left. The Warriors led 87-80 headed into the fourth after the reigning MVP’s latest outburst. Kevin Durant committed 10 turnovers but hit the go-ahead jumper with 23 seconds left and two free throws with 4.4 seconds left to cap a 20-point, nine-rebound outing for the Thunder.

They reached the century mark for the 22nd straight time when reserve forward Marreese Speights converted a three-point play with 8:12 remaining for a 101-89 lead and expanded the lead to 106-89 when Curry and Thompson returned with 6:01 remaining.NOTES: F Harrison Barnes missed his fifth consecutive game with a sprained left ankle.
