Will the Warriors continue their undefeated streak?
The Bulls’ fifth-ranked defense will be thoroughly tested against Golden State’s top-ranked offense.
But Golden State, who trailed 55-32 early in the second quarter, battled back, with reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry scoring 13 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter.
“But that right there (the record) is a huge accomplishment”. Golden State, however, has scored 100 or more points in 42 straight home games; the last time the Warriors were held below 100 points on their home court was in a 98-97 win over Orlando, December 2, 2014.
Golden State equaled the 1957-1958 Celtics as the only defending champions to win their initial 14 games.
Harrison Barnes added 20 points and nine rebounds, while Andre Iguodala came off the bench to score 13 points and grab five rebounds. This team is truly remarkable and you can expect them to continue their momentum tonight and win the game.
Hinrich hit a tying 3 with 5:44 to go only to see Curry knock one down moments later to put his team back up 92-89.
The Warriors dodged their first loss Thursday when they recovered from a 23-point deficit to record a 124-117 road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
The fact that the Warriors got to the Bulls game undefeated is impressive.
Still looking to be the first team to beat the Golden State Warriors in this season of the National Basketball Association, the Chicago Bulls travel to the Oracle Arena for this cross-conference match.
Last year’s beaten finalists had suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season, including a double-overtime loss to the Bucks on Sunday, to drop to 8-3, but LeBron James ensured that it would not be three in a row as he led his side to victory. “It was a hard-fought, gut-wrenching game that everybody stepped up and played well”. If they beat Denver and move to 15-0, they’ll have a chance to ensure the best start of all time against the diarrheal Lakers on Tuesday.
Hornets 113, 76ers 88: Al Jefferson had his third double-double of the season with 26 points and 10 rebounds as the Charlotte Hornets rolled to an easy 113-88 victory over the winless Philadelphia 76ers.
On the extreme opposite end of things are the Philadelphia 76ers. This evening the Mavs are playing host to the Utah Jazz, who have won two straight.
But Golden State, with Curry and Thompson back in the game, were able to keep the Bulls at bay as the lead stayed at three points for a while. He also led the Warriors with nine rebounds. Dwyane Wade was the game’s leading scorer with 24 points, while Chris Bosh had 23 on 8-12 shooting to go along with 11 rebounds.
The Clippers shot 71 percent in the first quarter, when Paul scored 18 points and was flawless from the floor, the 3-point line and the free throw line.
