Though the Warriors are built to withstand injuries, if Thompson misses significant time the Warriors’ undefeated streak will be in jeopardy as teams will be able to key in on Stephen Curry.

Warriors’ Stephen Curry driving between Pacers’ Solomon Hill, left, and Jordan Hill. During the streak Golden State’s played on consecutive nights just three other times, and on the last occasion the lowly Brooklyn Nets almost stunted the historic run.

Then the Regular Season MVP drives into the lane and gets fouled as the floater falls. The Pacers have a long way to go to achieve the precision of the Golden State Warriors, and possibly some personnel changes.

They’ve won 27 straight dating to last spring, tying the 2012-13 Heat for the second-longest streak in National Basketball Association history.

Until now, the record for consecutive wins – one of the most hallowed records in the sport – is held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, who won 33 games in a row behind Hall of Famers Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain that season.

The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics face off Friday night at the TD Garden.

Meanwhile, LeBron James scored 33 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, as the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 105-100.

The Warriors dominated from the start, opening up a 50-28 lead early in the second quarter and extending that to as much as 32 late in the third. Andrew Bogut contributed 14 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. Interim head coach Luke Walton will have to dig deeper from his bench. A lot of teams, including the Pacers, are trying to take a page out of the Warriors’ small-ball playbook.

Tuesday’s game in Indianapolis was the hottest Pacers ticket at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in years. But it was to no avail as Golden State marched on. The Warrior defeated the Pacers 131-123. Curry called Thompson’s first half unbelievable. Tuesday’s game was Golden State’s 13th on the road to go along with only 10 at home…. George came up one point short of notching his 5,000th career point…. They were better in shooting percentage (56.0-40.7), rebounding (46-33), assists (31-14), steals (11-6) and turnovers (12-15).
