Warriors 18-0 after rout of Kings

Curry, the reigning NBA MVP, sank a season-high nine three-pointers and added eight assists and six rebounds.

Make it an 18-0 start for the Warriors, 22 straight wins over two seasons, 10 for the last 10 against the Sacramento Kings, and perhaps most crucial at the moment, 1-0 without starting mainstay Harrison Barnes.

More of the Filipino Heritage Night, that is, especially among Filipinos cheering for the 2014-2015 National Basketball Association (NBA) Champions Golden State Warriors who won a thrilling overtime game over the Brooklyn Nets 107-99 in a home game at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.

Really, it will never, ever get old watching highlights like these, mainly because you can’t figure out how he pulls this stuff off.

Curry acknowledged how hard it will be for the Warrior to eclipse the 33-game win streak mark set by the 1972 LA Lakers, but he is confident that this is a team that is capable of accomplishing the feat. Their next target is the 27-game winning streak by Miami in the 2012-13 season.

Eric Bledsoe led the way for the Suns with 16 points on efficient 7-of-9 shooting from the floor and 2-of-3 from long-range.

Golden State is off to one of their best starts in franchise history.

Kristaps Porzingis has quickly become a fan favorite for the Knicks, while Karl-Anthony Towns has played like a number one overall pick. Curry made a jumper with 50 seconds left to give the Warriors a 77-73 lead heading into the fourth.

The Golden State Warriors were staring at a 23-point deficit and had their undefeated streak in danger against the Los Angeles Clippers Thursday night.

The bench did its job with a much-appreciated contribution of 51 points, led by 21 from Leandro Barbosa.

In the first half, Suns starting small forward P.J. Tucker couldn’t make the Warriors pay for using backup center Festus Ezeli. Stephen Curry held his follow-through after breaking the league’s 3-point record before halftime as he finished 7 for 9 from long distance, including a 4-point play.

“Honestly I think it’s because we have fun”, he said.

In Washington, Cory Joseph made a three-pointer at the buzzer to lift Toronto. It was a standard draft for the Warriors, as they had one pick in the first round and another in the second.
