They have won five in a row at Staples.

But they’re focused not so much on a number as winning in general.
Golden State matches the start of the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and the ’93-94 Houston Rockets. On Tuesday, they can pull ahead for the sole best start ever when the lowly Lakers visit Oracle Arena. I apologize for us playing who was in front of us.
The Warriors during the streak have weathered the absence of Steve Kerr, a six-game stretch where Andrew Bogut was sidelined, and opponents giving their best efforts against the defending champions. “15 straight times at the start of the season, couldn’t have asked for a better start, obviously”, Curry said.
“It would be a cool milestone”, Thompson said. What the victory shows is that this team has a Michael Jordan-like expectation for perfection – where losing is never acceptable and where the game is 48 minutes long no matter what the score.

Eric Bledsoe scored 29 points for Phoenix, which lost despite hitting 17 three-pointers. They dished out 35 assists. “They play the right way”. “We’re not going to take them that seriously.’ I think the Lakers will go out there with a sneak attack and surprise and shock the world”, the elder Thompson said, reports Sporting News.
Russell Westbrook had a double-double of 31 points and 11 assists for the Thunder, who improved to 8-6.
That’s what Stephen Curry is averaging so far this season. Rose was limited to four points as the Hornets rolled 130-105 for their first win of the season.
Darrell Arthur led the Nuggets with 21 points and eight rebounds, while Danilo Gallinari and Will Barton added 19 points apiece. It didn’t help the Nuggets that leading rebounder Kenneth Faried missed the game with a sprained ankle. Barnes then ran off seven straight points, including a power dunk, and Curry drained another 3-pointer as the gap quickly grew to 86-73 with 2:34 left in the period.
Golden State has the depth to overcome whatever injuries the Warriors have had.
Resting wasn’t an option this time.

“It’s a motivational tool for us”, guard Shaun Livingston said. “It would be something nice to get along the way”.
