Stephen Curry passes his dad, Dell Curry, on National Basketball Association all-time 3-point list
Most people wrote this game off as an obvious blowout before it started, but it turned out to be one of the most exciting games of the season.
In Milwakee, Jerryd Bayless scored 17 points and held LeBron James scoreless over the final 3:15 of the second overtime, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat Cleveland 108-105 on Saturday night, snapping the Cavaliers’ eight-game winning streak. Dell’s career-high for threes in a game was seven; Stephen has already hit that mark 24 times in his career. “It’s a heartbreaking loss”. They face Ricky Rubio and Andrew Wiggins, who missed their last game, but are expected to play tonight for the T-Wolves.
“Andre plays his best when you need him to”, interim head coach Luke Walton said.
“It wasn’t bad defense”, he said. I said, ‘OK, we’re no longer fine.
The Nets didn’t respond well to the misfortune.
Forward Kris Humphries scored 23 points and sank three of his five three-pointers in the fourth quarter as the Washington Wizards snapped a three-game losing streak with a 108-99 win over the Orlando Magic.
Brooklyn (1-9) stepped out to an early double-digit lead they maintained into the second quarter, though Golden State (11-0) closed it to two at 54-52 to end the half.
Ultimately, while the Warriors withstood a highly-motivated Jack and the Nets’ A-game, the Warriors’ recent stumbles againstthese less-than-elite teams should serve as a warning. “It’s tough. We feel like we could have had this one”. Draymond (Green) gave me the ball, so I put up the shot. “[Joe Johnson] put it on a platter and I just, I blew it”, Lopez said.
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors exchanges high fivewith teammates during their National Basketball Association Game against the Brooklyn Nets in Oakland, California.
Golden State looked sluggish at both ends of the court, with Curry hitting just 2 of 9 shots in the opening quarter and the team as a whole making just 8 of 22 shots (36.4 percent).
Green was fabulous, recording a triple-double: 16 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, plus a second-half blanketing of Thaddeus Young, who had scored 20 first-half points but finished with six more. Jarrett Jack ended up at the FT line, as the Nets took a 95-94 lead.
Bogut’s contributions are not always tangible, but they were on this night: 10 points (5-of-7 shooting), 18 rebounds, four assists, three blocked shots and two steals. The Warriors did just that, and while everybody waited for the killer run to come, it never did. The refs missed an irate Lionel Hollins jumping up and down trying to call a timeout. The 1-9 Nets are at home against the Hawks on Tuesday.
Iguodala sent the game into overtime thanks to his 3-pointer. And then Andre came up huge. “That’s the leader of our team”.
With one win to their credit for the season, the Nets figured to be the last team to hand the Warriors their first defeat.
