Warriors Eye Record After Beating Bulls to Stay flawless
Nothing has been in their way thus far and as result, they are already the early favorites to win the National Basketball Association West, and the National Basketball Association Finals.
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 27 points and four steals.
After winning the 2015 National Basketball Association Finals, the Golden State Warriors have not looked back, continuing their world-class play on both ends of the floor. The Mavericks led 92-87 when Williams hit his fourth three-pointer of the game. But Jimmy Butler’s continuous rise to stardom has been the key for Chicago to manage a winning slate. “And like you said, I’m predicting the Laker victory in Golden State to stop their 15-game winning streak and prevent them from breaking the record”. James scored six points and Love had a three-point play in that stretch.
The Wolves managed to pull within five points, but were ultimately over-matched.
As they have in their last four victories, the Warriors had to battle to the finish against the scrappy Bulls. Golden State makes opponents pay for turning the ball over, ranking third in points off turnovers with an average of 19.8 per game.
NOTES: The Bulls and Warriors have split the two-game season series in 11 of the last 14 years. It may take another atypical team – like, say, the San Antonio Spurs with Tim Duncan, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard, and a seasoned point guard in Tony Parker – to figure it out. It’s a copycat league, as the saying goes, and any opposing coaches worth their salaries will study what worked until they figure out how to solve it or render it so common that it loses its luster. This was on the first possession of the game for the Bulls offensively on Friday.
Interim coach Luke Walton reminded his players of that loss before the game. “It’s big. It just shows about the maturity level of this team and how we’ve grown”.
Kerr was careful to manage the minutes of Iguodala because of health concerns over a long season, and it paid off in the end_Iguodala averaged just 26.9 minutes.
“Andre has been awesome”, Walton said. “I’d like to see them break the record. So Harrison and Draymond would get exhausted and eventually it would catch up with us”. “It’s something I’ll do more of, but it’s definitely part of our game plan”.
Golden State is 6-0 away from home but dropped its most recent visit to Denver on March 13. First he said, “Good luck”. The Bulls and Warriors have split the two-game season series in 11 of the last 14 years.
“It’s a no-brainer”, he said.
Green refused to reveal any dirt that might beat this killer lineup, saying with a mischievous grin, “I don’t know, I’m not trying to give a secret away. But it’s kind of silly”.
Hinrich, replacing injured star Derrick Rose (ankle), added 17 points for Chicago.
Grizzlies 96, Rockets 84: Mike Conley scored 26 points, Marc Gasol had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, and Memphis beat Houston for its fourth straight victory.
Even though Chicago Bulls might have lost this game, but everybody agrees that the team put on a fantastic fight and played great. Butler made no secret he was looking forward guarding Curry. “So I’ll ask Coach for that matchup”.
“I wouldn’t compare him to Michael Jordan – I wouldn’t compare anybody to Michael”. Curry is, well, even more Curry than before.
Golden State stressed during the preseason starting fast and shutting down on defense early to set the tone.
