They’re filled with team-oriented, complimentary players who understand their roles.

Again, I don’t think the Warriors will go 82-0. (The Pacers have been allowing opponents just 99.8 points per game.) That moment when you’re down 32 points in the second quarter? He continued, “You want to make things as easy as possible when you have a night like we did for 36 minutes”. Counting the final four games they won at the end of the 2014-15 regular season, they now have tied the 2012-13 Heat for the NBA’s second-longest winning streak, at 27 games.
Golden State scored a whopping 79 points in the first half – the most by any team in any half this National Basketball Association season – and led 111-83 at the end of the third quarter.
Thompson has established himself as a deadly shooter with great length who can go off in huge bursts at any time.
“In this league, if you overlook anybody, I mean, you’re going to come up short”, Sullinger said.
“It was one of those nights where I got a lot of great looks”. “I felt like I was due for a game like that”.
“Thompson, after not participating in practice Wednesday, took part in a spot-up shooting drill and said afterward that the sprain suffered in the 23-0 Warriors” win at in was “very mild.”. He also nailed 10 3-pointers and despite suffering an ankle injury, X-rays came back negative and he said he would be back in a “couple of days”.
If Thompson can not play against the Celtics, it is unclear who would start in his place.
The other: Letting Indiana back into the game.
Ron Hoskins/NBAE/Getty Images Festus Ezeli takes it to the rack. It was the way it happened, including letting up 44 points in the first quarter and trailing by 28 points heading into the fourth quarter.
Pacers star forward Paul George did his utmost to keep the game competitive, but his 33 points, eight rebounds and six assists were not enough to stop the Warriors’ streak.
“This team is good”. It’s not just Stephen, it’s not just Klay. That record could very well be challenged this season by Golden State.
Mario Chalmers led Memphis with 19 points, and JaMychal Green and Marc Gasol had 11 apiece. It’s fun to watch the way they move the ball from side to side, and some of the insane shots Steph Curry and Klay Thompson hit.
While Thompson was out there taking shots on Thursday, Warriors interim coach Luke Walton said the team isn’t going to risk anything long-term.
Lost in ESPN’s hoopla on Ronda Rousey’s first public comments since her knockout at the hands of Holly Holm was another revelation that reigning NBA MVP and Warriors superstar Stephen Curry believes he is the best player in the league, ESPN reported. Before the game, Pacers coach Frank Vogel noted Indiana’s new up-tempo style was “light-years” behind Golden State’s, and it showed. He finished 10 of 16 from beyond the arc, one short of the career high he had in January against Sacramento.

The Warriors’ next game is Friday in Boston. Thompson did just that last night late in the Warriors’ win over the Pacers, and may have to sit a few games.
