When President Barack Obama welcomes the Warriors to the White House on Thursday to honor the team on winning the National Basketball Association championship, Stephen Curry will know his way around a little bit. “He had a awful clipboard throw, but other than that, he was very animated on the sideline”.
The Golden State Warriors gave the New York Knicks a good old-fashioned beating on the score of 116-95, and the team is on pace more than ever to beat the 72-10 record of the Chicago Bulls.
Steph Curry vs. John Wall: There was a time, not so long ago, when debate raged over who was the better point guard. Playing with a nasty cut on his forehead, he was 5 for 17 from the field on a court where he once scored 54 points. They can make plays off the dribble.
The Warriors have lost four games this season: at Milwaukee, at Dallas, at Denver, at Detroit.
“I thought they went to another level of intensity and activity on the defensive end”, Fisher said.
When allowing 100 or more points in a game, the Wizards are just 8-19 this season.
A 25-point first quarter for Steph in D.C.
“It was awesome that Draymond admitted that publicly, admitted to his teammates that he was going for a triple-double, and it kind of messed with the flow of the game”, Kerr said. “He expects perfection and we’re never there”. By the fourth quarter, things weren’t pretty and Melo was getting creative on defence. Curry actually made the shot after the play, but it didn’t count. Golden State went on a 10-0 run that secured them a 103-92 advantage headed to the final quarter. Porzingis was hindered, though, after he picked up two fouls in the first two minutes. The six-point deficit quickly became double-digits and grew to 82-65 after three.
Green didn’t have to press for 10 assists against the Knicks, and once the Warriors got through a low-scoring first quarter in which they had eight turnovers to just seven baskets, their vaunted offense began to click.
Curry was greeted Sunday evening with a legion of fans and No. 30 jerseys in Madison Square Garden, mostly a product of his gravitating playing style and Golden State’s historical success.
The Warriors are not just an offensive juggernaut.
The Spurs, for now, are still undefeated at home, and after losing in Cleveland as well, seem to be overcoming the shock of losing that game.
“I was around Michael [Jordan] during the summer of ’92”, Mullin said, hearkening back to his time with the Olympic Dream Team, via CBS Sports’s Ken Berger.
The warriors have been rumored to have a great shot at landing Durant this off-season and for other National Basketball Association teams the thought of this should leave them discouraged.
“We got our butts kicked that game”.
“You start to do what I did yesterday, it doesn’t work out”, he said.
