Warriors are ‘most healthy team I’ve ever seen in National Basketball Association history’ – James
Klay Thompson scored 21 points, league top scorer Stephen Curry had a season-low 19 in only three quarters, and the Warriors equalled the winning streak of the 1993-94 Houston Rockets and the 1948-49 Washington Capitols. And the Warriors have led by an average of 10.5 points per game when heading into the fourth quarter, so they’re getting out to leads and holding them in crunch time. But whatever hope the Nuggets had of an upset ended quickly in the third quarter, when Curry scored 10 of his 19 points (he also tallied seven assists, four rebounds and three steals in 27 minutes) – two of which came on this pretty unfair cat-and-mouse step-back over poor Danilo Gallinari. And we might not have seen the best yet.
It’s their 15 straight victory, as they remain undefeated this season to match the best start in National Basketball Association history. “If that’s something that’ll motivate just one guy on the team and give him a few extra energy, it could be useful”.

“They haven’t had a whole lot of lulls in any of the games that they’ve played”, Scott added. The only other time the Clips were under.
As a team their team statistics are better so far through 15 games this season than previous year.
“It’s a motivational tool for us”, guard Shaun Livingston said. “It’s been three in a row, so I think it’s pretty normal to be frustrated”. That record is 33 and belongs to the 1971-1972 Los Angeles Lakers. The Thunder are 3-3 in his absence.
The Brooklyn Nets enjoyed a surprise 111-101 win over the Boston Celtics and the Portland Trail Blazers easily beat the Los Angeles Lakers 107-93.
“We got ourselves together”, Lillard said. “The position we’ve been in, we know it’s a game of runs. We tightened down defensively and got it done”.
