Thompson leads Warriors to 128-108 win over the Blazers
G Klay Thompson is averaging 33.0 points over the last five games….
After the Sacramento Kings spent Thursday night toying with every emotion their fans had left in their bodies, the Kings look to rebound from a disappointing second half against the Los Angeles Lakers by facing the… oh. OH. It doesn’t get worse if I play on it, unless I get kicked, and that’s happened three times since I did it, so hopefully it won’t keep happening again.
Head to head, the Warriors are 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings but the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
They traded for Andrew Bogut in 2012, who’s toughness in the paint proved vital to the team.
In the first quarter, Saturday’s contest had all the makings of a trap game.
Portland allows 101.4 points at home this season.
“The one where he looked like he didn’t have control – I didn’t think he had it – and then he grabbed it, throws it up and it goes in”.
Hilliard scored a season-high eight points in his most extensive action yet, and the Pistons pulled away at the beginning of the fourth quarter for their third straight victory, 103-89 over the Brooklyn Nets. In others, they eek out close victories with clutch performances and comebacks in the fourth quarter. When Curry’s feeling it, as he was Saturday night, it takes real restraint for him not to simply shoot everything. Medical experts pronounced the recovery time to be at least four weeks, thereby confirming fans’ fears: the Golden State Warriors will be playing sans Curry in the next games. “They play a fast-paced game, they shoot a lot of long shots”.
Because Curry has become so good at balancing his own opportunities with his teammates’ shots, the number of Warriors capable of changing the course of the game has multiplied.
Ex-Sun Gerald Green, also in his return to Phoenix, added 21 points for the Heat (22-14), who have now beaten the Suns 11 straight times overall and eight straight times at Talking Stick Arena.
Curry had padding over his shin, and the Warriors came to Portland seemingly wearing top hats as well, putting on a show.
The Warriors (35-2) broke loose for 36 points in the third quarter and built a 12-point lead.
Green had a hot hand in the opening two quarters, making 4 of 5 3-point tries and finishing the half with 18 points to back Curry’s 19.
Well, the Warriors are in town for a Saturday night match up against the Sacramento Kings and are looking for a season sweep this season against the the Kings.
“Moving the ball, hustling on defense and trying to do it consistently – as a team I feel like we have some lapses in those areas”, Horford said. “We do our best not to overplay anybody minutes, even if it does end up costing us a game along the way”. It might seem overly obvious to state this, but the Sacramento Kings need DeMarcus Cousins to play well in order to have a chance against the defending champs. Ezeli remains a key piece for this Warriors team, particularly if they play a bigger opponent in the playoffs. Just… I didn’t help him.
