Steph Curry inspires Warriors to fifth straight win
Curry answered with his seventh 3-pointer to give the Warriors the lead for good as they became the fifth team to start consecutive seasons with five straight wins.
The Golden State Warriors earned a victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in their toughest game so far this season, winning 112-108.
As the best player on the NBA’s best team last season, Stephen Curry was named the league MVP in one of the most competitive races in recent memory. “We are a team that has championship aspirations and for us to do that, we have to win”.
If they’re truly better than they were past year, it’s a scary notion for teams in the Western Conference. The defending National Basketball Association champions are two wins away from matching the Philadelphia Warriors’ 9-0 franchise-best start in 1960-61. With Josh Smith hitting a fatal three pointer and Blake Griffin knocking down jump shots left and right, it seems that the Clippers are about to hand Curry and the Warriors their first loss. On Wednesday night, an irritated James, in the midst of a 4-of-11 shooting performance in the first half, did a few in-game alterations by ripping the seams on the sleeves around his biceps. And despite shooting 38% from the field, the Warriors took an eight point advantage into halftime, leading the Kings 46-38.
The Warriors’ undefeated momentum rolled on in Sacramento on Saturday night, as they captured a 103-94 victory against the Kings. He is the only player to have scored 213 points through six games since Michael Jordan’s 214 in 1989-1990. The Splash Brothers then traded three baskets to gain back a five point lead, before it was extended to 67-55 with 3:27 left in the third frame.
Warriors: Despite missing 14 of their first 16 shots, the Warriors still led 20-14 after one quarter…. Golden State won 67 games last season on its way to the title. The Clippers coach say something controversial and jokingly advised a scrum of editors to make means to ensure that he could accomplish his designated area. Klay Thompson made four 3-pointers and finished with 18 points.
Curry outscored the entire Pelicans’ team by two points in the third period, giving him a career-high for scoring in a quarter. Andre Iguodala scored 14 points off the bench, and Festus Ezeli had 10 points and 12 rebounds. The reigning MVP got into foul trouble early and lasted only 2 minutes in the first quarter. Jordan said he wanted to be a bigger part of the offense which hasn’t happened yet (just 9.0 points per game) but he is still making a huge impact. Our games early in the season are well-spaced (the next game is not until November 3 against Orlando), we’re dealing with a LOT of injuries and it’s not like we have a lot of choice of substitutes for Jrue.
Center Andrew Bogut missed his sixth straight game because of a concussion, but he could return to action Monday against the Detroit Pistons, Walton said.
