Sweet 16 for Warriors, sour 1 for 14 for Kobe

The Warriors were well on their way to doing so after taking a 30-11 lead in the first quarter, marking the fewest points they have allowed in any quarter this season.

Before the game against the Lakers, the Warriors already tied the record (15-0) with the 1993-1994 Houston Rockets and the 1948-1949 Washington Capitals in a win against the Denver Nuggets.

Curry, recipient of last year’s NBA Most Valuable Player Award, led the Warriors’ attack during his 30 minutes of action, while do-it-all forward Draymond Green added 18 points and Brazilian reserve guard Leandro Barbosa chipped in with 13. “We’re on a roll”.

“We’re trying to play at a high level every night”, he said on TNT.

Last night, the Warriors trounced the L.A. Lakers 111-77 setting an National Basketball Association record by winning their first 16 games.

It has been a mighty struggle so far this season for Kobe Bryant, resulting in Los Angeles Lakers coach Byron Scott having to answer numerous questions from reporters about his star after practice Wednesday. Not everything has been ideal for Warriors interim coach Luke Walton this month. “No. Eventually we will lose”, Walton warned.

As of right now, though, we sit at the start of the regular season. He and the rest of the coaching staff celebrated the streak by congratulating each player in the locker room and reminding them that there’s more work to be done. “I don’t think it’s a matter of him being exhausted, or his legs behind exhausted, I think it’s just a matter of his timing being a little off”. After drilling 12 three-pointers against the Lakers on Tuesday, the Warriors have now made 199 this season, while their opponents have managed to hit just 91, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

The 1995-1996 Bulls featuring Michael Jordan went 72-10 for the season that year, making them the only team to crack 70 victories in a season.

Against the Warriors, Bryant shot 1-of-14 from the field and scored four points.

“A lot of players have played in this league, a lot of great teams”, he continued.

The 37-year-old shot 1-14 – a shooting percentage of seven percent – for the game. Phoenix C Tyson Chandler (illness) is expected back after a one-game absence.3. Los Angeles dropped to a 2-12 win-loss record, the second worst mark in the entire league. Yes, that 50 point blowout against the Memphis Grizzlies has boosted that stat slightly, but the Warriors have still been out of reach for virtually everyone that’s faced them. “One thing Riles (Pat Riley) wouldn’t let us do is live on what we did the last night”.
