The streak was threatened, but is still intact after the Golden State Warriors pipped the Boston Celtics.

Still, he wrote, “I’m so blessed to have been there”. In turn, I salute Curry for not returning MT’s text.
“We feel like we covered well enough to win the game, we put ourselves in defensive position enough to win the game, but we still needed one or two more to win the game and we didn’t do it”, said the Celtics forward, one of six in double figures with 15 points, five rebounds, three assists and two blocks.
Nikola Vucevic scored 14 points and was the only starter to reach double figures for Orlando, which lost its 12th straight game against Cleveland. Curry had a game-high 38 points, adding 11 rebounds and eight assists (and eight turnovers). Media outlets are going to unprecedented lengths to capitalize on his stardom, which grows with every win and unthinkable Vine. Golden State has overcome each hurdle thrust in front of them. Nobody has seen anything like this before. The defending National Basketball Association champions have won 27 in a row overall.

Lee can be a mentor for the young players the Celtics have, and he will have a greater opportunity to gain playing time as the season goes on. “You have to give it to him; he’s the best player in the world right now”. Although the Celtics’ green still dominated, there was plenty of Golden State blue, as well.
“It’s probably the toughest loss we’ve had this season”, said Jae Crowder. “He loves a challenge and I do too”. In situations this season where the Cavs are favored on the road, they’re just 1-6 against the spread, while the Magic is 5-0 against the number as a home underdog.
“It takes a community to guard him”. The Celtics led and the Warriors chased.
Finally, Stevens has the tendency to play the hot-hand, which means if the big men mentioned above are playing well, then Stevens will roll with them, which will leave Lee wishing what could have been with the Warriors. The Warriors are used to the room Thompson provides, moving the ball around until holes open in the defense. Even if he didn’t, Green was a monster.
Both teams had shots to win the game.
Anyway, back to Stevens’ decision not to call timeout.
The Boston Celtics (13-9) are coming from a 105-100 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday.
They got just enough to move on, undefeated. He also exploded for a quick 15 points in the first quarter to set the tone for the Celtics.

“It’s nearly like pointless to discuss it because it’s there, and if you don’t use it you’re foolish”, Skiles said. But when the game was reduced to single possessions and individual stops, the Warriors’ immunity to pressure and addiction to winning carried the day.
