Warriors win, improve to 23-0
“He had eight threes at the half”, Curry said. He continued, “You want to make things as easy as possible when you have a night like we did for 36 minutes”.
The NBA record for longest consecutive win streak belongs to the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, who won 33 straight games en route to an NBA championship.
But Thompson, the other “Splash Brother”, was an All-Star starter last season alongside Curry and is arguably the second best shooter in the league.
The Golden State Warriors proved once again why they are the best team in the National Basketball Association with a victory over the Indiana Pacers.
“It was one of those nights where I got a lot of great looks”. Going in I felt great, ” Thompson said. I literally don’t play one second in the game. The biggest question will continue be for how long should the Warriors continue on to win? He also nailed 10 3-pointers and despite suffering an ankle injury, X-rays came back negative and he said he would be back in a “couple of days”.
Will the Golden State Warriors still be undefeated when Christmas Day rolls around? The reigning champions had a flawless three quarters and just focused on protecting their lead in the fourth. While Warriors are 23-0, he is in Boston, and that was a mutual decision.
Klay Thompson was the brightest star Tuesday night at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, going 13-of-21 from the field – including 10-of-16 from 3-point range – and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 39 points. “We’re trying to create some of that stuff and we’re doing a good job of it but we’re light-years behind this team”.
And the tickets will only get more expensive if the Warriors stay unbeaten. “They shot the ball extremely well in the first half”. It’s not just Stephen, it’s not just Klay. Since Golden State has already won a title, and is easily a favorite to repeat, it’s hard to disagree with Van Gundy here. “And we’ll be confident that we can still compete and win games”. After starting the first three games of the season, he lost that role and has averaged a career low in minutes.
“He had eight 3’s at the half”, Curry said. George Hill and Chase Budinger each added 12, and Jordan Hill had 10 points.
“He could have caused problems”, Warriors coach Luke Walton said, noting there was a new coaching staff in place. In this case, the prospect of the Warriors winning 33 in a row-however you add it up-is potentially historic.
Some believed the Pacers, one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference, could derail Golden State’s blistering tear through the league but the game wasn’t almost as close as the 131-123 final score suggests.
With this astonishing start, the Golden State Warriors have the whole world buzzing. The Warriors have topped the 100-point mark in all 23 games this season, the first time they’ve done that since 1966-67…. It’s innate now. We’ve learned how to win games in all sorts of ways.
