Stephen Curry Could Miss Warriors Next Two Games

Last year Klay Thompson set an National Basketball Association record when he torched Sacramento for 37 points in a single quarter.

Brook Lopez and reserve Wayne Ellington keyed the Nets victory.

Jose Calderon added 15 points, Kyle O’Quinn had 12, Robin Lopez scored 11, and Kristaps Porzingis finished with 10. “I didn’t think he could get that much better from previous year but I do think he’s gotten considerably better, which is quite a feat when you’re the reigning MVP”.

Playing for the first time since an emotional win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day, the Warriors had to rely on some individual brilliance by Curry late in the second quarter just to get within 61-58 at halftime. Seth had seven points and three assists in 20 minutes. Guard Derrick Rose contributed 20 points and four assists for Chicago (17-12). The Golden State Warriors are averaging 114.8 points on 48.5 percent shooting and allowing 101.4 points on 42.5 percent shooting.

Charlotte’s Kemba Walker scored 18 of his 38 points in the fourth quarter to power the Hornets to a 108-98 win against the Los Angeles Lakers.

He has one of the NBA’s all-time best 3-point shooters, forward Dennis Scott, praising his game.

Bryant, making his final appearance in Charlotte, drew thunderous applause from a sellout crowd of 19,632 throughout the game.

Cousins stormed at referee Mitchell Ervin, which deservedly drew a second technical foul and an automatic ejection. Andrew Bogut had previously been sidelined six games by a concussion.

Solomon Hill and Chase Budinger each added 10 for Indiana.

Jazz 95, 76ers 91: Gordon Hayward scored 24 points, including a three-pointer that put Utah ahead for good against Philadelphia.

DeAndre Jordan had 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Clippers, who got 54 points from the substitutes in their third straight win – second since Griffin was ruled out for at least two weeks with a quadriceps strain. His ability to guard every position, spread the floor and make plays on both ends gives his team the opportunity to run with the small ball lineup.

Irving hit a three as the shot clock expired with 21.9 seconds left, giving Cleveland a crucial cushion in a tense finish.

The Warriors got within arm’s length, setting up the third-quarter turnaround, thanks to Curry, whose first field goal of the game came on a 3-pointer with 3:16 left in the half.

Curry’s first made triple, a 26-footer which he took while only planting his right foot, had all the makings of spilled gasoline.

Tony Snell and Pau Gasol each had 22 points.

Sacramento had their own hero in the loss, as Casspi hit nine threes and chipped in 36 points.
