Golden State has hit 10 or more three-point field goals in each of its last 16 contests.

Their average margin of victory during their season-long win streak is 14.6 points. Over half of GSW’s points are generated by their three wing players: Curry, Klay Thompson, and Harrison Barnes. Thompson twisted his ankle with under a minute left.
Jared Sullinger has pulled down 20 and 16 rebounds, respectively, in his last two games.
All joking aside, prayer is a theme that comes up often when discussing the Golden State Warriors. Klay Thompson, a top five shooting guard, the other “splash brother” in case you all forgot, is starting to regain his shooting stroke.
The Golden State Warriors will look to extend the current-season winning streak to 24 games against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday, December 12. But the Warriors have remained focused, and are determined to go into the history books as a team not concerned with individual glory. “I want to be just like Steph (Curry) when I grow up – just a God fearing man”.
“We”re obviously going to be cautious with it,” Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton said.
On a night Thompson scored a season-high 39 points and reigning MVP Stephen Curry almost had a triple-double, the Warriors improved to 23-0 by stopping Indiana’s furious fourth-quarter comeback and holding off the Pacers 131-123.
Fun fact: Last season, Boston was a team in transition, but they gave the eventual champs two very tough games – losing both games, but only by a combined total of 8 points. Thompson said the ankle remained sore and that he did not put much weight on it during the shooting drill. I was not around when the Bulls were lighting the world on fire winning six championships with the great Michael Jordan. In addition, reserve guard Leandro Barbosa – who missed the win in IN due to an illness – was unable to practice with the team Thursday and remains a question mark.
Where this will get confusing is when the National Basketball Association spends the week leading up to Golden State’s Finals rematch against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Oakland, trumpeting that game as the one that will tie the all-time wins record for the Lakers – all while the Warriors would win only their 29th game if they come away victorious. Even without Smart, the Celtics have impressive talent on the defensive side of the ball, which is a key to stop Golden State.
“It”s one of the great, great things about this team is our guys are confident all the way down the line,” Walton said.

“It’s just another kind of testament to the changes we made”. The Warriors have won four straight games against the Celtics.
