Luke Walton’s interim coaching record remained ideal at 11-0 as well. Both players seemingly possess cheat codes for their eras of basketball, allowing them to do certain things at will that most players only can dream of. Green’s all-around strong play features averages of 11.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists, and he also is one of the team’s top defenders.

Despite the Brooklyn Nets eventual loss to the Golden State Warriors last night in Oakland, their overall level of play throughout the game showed signs of life in what has been an otherwise gloomy season.
Teams can try to run Curry off the three-point line, but he’s proven so adept at getting any shot he wants, or breaking down the defence within the three-point arc that he often just creates another good shot. Livingston shared that, “We’re capable, but early on in the season, it’s the process of staying disciplined…And staying disciplined, not letting up, paying attention to details, closing out quarters – all the little things”.
All of the Warriors’ impressive streaks appeared primed to be taken down Saturday night by former Warrior Jarrett Jack and an unlikely cast of Brooklyn Nets.
But they failed to foul and Iguodala buried a three-pointer to tie it at 97 with 5.9 seconds remaining.
Forward Kris Humphries scored 23 points and sank three of his five three-pointers in the fourth quarter as the Washington Wizards snapped a three-game losing streak with a 108-99 win over the Orlando Magic.
“Joe, he put that on a platter and I blew it”, Lopez said. “It’s a long flight home so it’s not going to be fun”.
The Warriors languished through their worst quarter of the year in the opening 12 minutes, falling behind by 15, 36-21. With 333 points, he’s scored the most in that span of any player since Michael Jordan’s 338 to begin the 1992-93 season. Young responded with a jumper to give the Nets a 54-52 halftime lead.
After draining his third 3-point shot of the night Saturday against the Nets, Curry passed his father, Dell Curry, for 42nd on the all-time list with 1,246 3-pointers made.
To say Curry has been great would be doing Curry a huge disservice. “I’m sure he never dreamt of the day one of his sons would pass him”.
“We were very fortunate to have a shot”, said Curry, who posted his seventh 30-point game of the season.
Bayless missed a running one-hander with 5 seconds to go, but Monroe grabbed the offensive rebound with 3 seconds left to seal the victory for Milwaukee.
Warriors: The French national anthem was performed in addition to the American national anthem before the game. “Our coaching staff and organization offer our sympathies to the people of France”, Walton said. The Hawks have won the last six in the series. They are 11-0, and their coming off an overtime win, their closest win yet.

While the guard play provided the highlights, the trench warfare in the frontcourt is where the Warriors ultimately turned the momentum of the game back in their favor. Walton said he tried to go during the morning shootaround but did not feel right.
