Seven players made at least one 3-pointer for the Warriors. “That is the only thing that really motivates us”. He made 9-of-16 3-point attempts and has made a three in 90 straight regular-season games. The reigning MVP finished with 41 points on 11-of-20 shooting, including 9-of-16 from beyond the arc, in just over 30 minutes. And as for his team, they are scoring 100 points or more in each of the games they’ve played this year. No team goes undefeated, no matter how great. I would love it, for the National Basketball Association to send the Warriors to the Philippines as I said the Philippines has a strong fan base.

The Warriors featured a balanced attack led by Draymond Green’s second triple-double in as many games – 13 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds – the first Warrior to accomplish that feat since Wilt Chamberlain in 1964. “Tonight was one of those nights that Steph was really hot, and when he’s hot, he makes things happen”. “We’ll wait to hear back from the doctors, and we’ll move on if he’s out, and we have other guys who’ll be anxious to step up for us”.
“We want to make it as easy as possible on ourselves so we are not fighting for [playoff] seeding and having to go all out as we gear up for the playoffs”.

“When you’re the world champs, you know enough of your reads that you’ve seen everything”, Hornacek said.
It wasn’t all positive Friday, as the Warriors starting small forward Harrison Barnes sprained his left ankle in the third quarter.
“It was kind of a bittersweet victory with one of our teammates going down”, Livingston said.
ABOUT THE SUNS (7-8): Phoenix will need strong outings from backcourt standouts Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight to knock off the Warriors, but Bledsoe won’t be at full strength.
“A time’s going to come where we finally put everything together and come up with a victory”, Covington said. He was also a game-high plus-24.
They could also target the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ 72 wins. The Warriors got roughly four or five baskets in this quarter because of mental mistakes defensively and that was the biggest difference besides Curry’s carnival in the first quarter.

“For a guy who has the history of injuries he has, some shocking injuries that kept him out for a year a piece, for him to be healthy and feeling good about his game and the way his body feels is good”. With a win over the Suns, the Warriors would set yet again another record for longest win streak to start a season, breaking their own record.
