Warriors raise record to 21-0

He is averaging 30 points for his six career games at the Canadian city where his father, Dell, played for his final three seasons. “It’s a great group to be around, a great to be a part of and I don’t think if you went around this locker-room, one to 15, maybe not (rookie Kevon) Looney because he’s young, he don’t know no better, I don’t think anyone takes this for granted”. But like I said, we’ve got to look at it and understand that is the best team in the league.

“We expect teams to fight and come back when we are on the road and that is what they did”, said Curry. Draymond Green also contributed 16 points, nine rebounds and six assists.

The record for most consecutive wins to start a season in North American pro sports now belongs to the Golden State Warriors … sorry, St. Louis Maroons fans.

Rod Black, Jack Armstrong, and Leo Rautins recap another close game between the Raptors and Warriors as they marvel at the play of Steph Curry and Kyle Lowry, and continue to worry about Toronto’s slow starts.

This one was a challenge.

The Portland Trail Blazers trumped the Minnesota Timberwolves 109-103, the New York Knicks lost 106-91 to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Los Angeles Clippers upstaged the Orlando Magic 103-101 and the Indiana Pacers lost 122-119 to the Utah Jazz in overtime despite a career-high 48 points from Paul George. “It doesn’t sound right when you say it out loud”, said Curry. DeMar DeRozan added 16 points but shot just 5-of-19 from the field.

The Raptors also played a tight game at Golden State on November 17, losing 115-110. We had them down to a last possession of both games. “It just shows how good of a team we can be”.

Golden State is three games into a seven-game road trip.

As usual, Stephen Curry saved the day for the Warriors, hitting a couple of clutch three-pointers with over three minutes to go in the game when the Raptors threatened to give Golden State their first loss of the season.

Curry had 21 first-half points. The times I’ve gotten 40 in the National Basketball Association, I was happy with it. He just seems to not be content. His skill level and ability to shoot is unparalleled.

Dwyane Wade scored a game high 19 points for the Heat, who improved to 12-6 after winning their last two games.

Nicolas Batum scored 12 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter as Charlotte beat Chicago.

Cody Zeller and Kemba Walker had 17 points apiece for the Hornets, who played their first road game since November 17.

The San Antonio Spurs maintained their 100 per cent winning record at home this term after withstanding a Boston Celtics rally to triumph 108-105, while Houston claimed their third win in a row after James Harden’s 31 points helped the Rockets defeat the Sacramento Kings 120-113.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Danilo Gallinari scored 24 points for Denver, including the go-ahead slam dunk with under a minute remaining.

The lead was down to one when Scola made two free throws with 6.2 seconds left to finish with 10 points.
