Although the perfectionist Warriors will view the fourth quarter as a sign that they need to improve, Tuesday’s contest was another demonstration of their historically great form.
Klay Thompson made 10 of his 16 attempted 3-pointers on his way to scoring 39 points, and Golden State Warriors stayed undefeated this season with a 132-123 win over the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night. He said the rush for tonight’s game was different since fans have been anticipating it for weeks as Golden State’s record continued to get better. We had a double-digit lead. Regardless of the missed calls, the Pacers failed to box out in the clutch and the game went to overtime on a missed George three.
The Warriors have now won 27 consecutive regular-season games, tying the 2012/3 Miami Heat team for the NBA’s second-longest winning streak.
The Indiana Pacers opened up the week with their second straight game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, his time against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Dubs will continue the seven-game road trip they are having and are stopping at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse this Tuesday to take on the Indiana Pacers.
“It’s probably going to be sore for a couple days”, Thompson said, “but I should be back in no time”.
“It’s bitter because Klay sprains his ankle in a game that we felt we had control of, and if we get out to a better start in the fourth, we don’t even have to get him back on the court”. And if anything for this season, ankle injuries will be the bane of the Warriors’ season. “One thing about them, they’ve got a championship confidence”, George said.
Damian Lillard scored 33 points to lead Portland, which blew a late lead Monday in Milwaukee and appeared to run out of gas as Cleveland came back in the second half. The Nets take on the Rockets, who Lopez has a good game against last time, putting up a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds, and he also added five blocks.
“Most of the hype around the game with ticket buyers here is revolving around: Will the Pacers stop the Warriors’ streak?”
“Our guys were locked in”, Walton said. The Pacers had a great defensive effort as they held the Clippers to 38 percent shooting for the game. Do not discount the possibility, even if the Warriors are well equipped to pummel indiana as they have the rest of the National Basketball Association thus far.
