“We just go out there to play a good game”.

It definitely contributed to the Warriors losing as Golden State was down by three points before Green flagrantly fouled Harden with his kick. A report by Yahoo Sports pointed out that it was the second-straight game where Green hit Adams in the groin, with many National Basketball Association analysts calling Green a “dirty player” for what he was doing on the court. As an observer, even when I was in TV, every year someone would start out 25-3, 28-4 and the talk would be, ‘Oh, they could break the Bulls record.’ And I knew from my experience in Chicago, you don’t even keep track of that stuff until after the All-Star break. Whatever they decide is what they decide.
Walker scored 18 points, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 14 and the Hornets got their third win in the last four games Thursday night to remain in first place in the Southeast Division.
It was a cacophony of athleticism and three-point shots between the NBA’s main villains – the preposterously talented Warriors – and the league’s other villain – professional beard-grower, flopper, and point-getter James Harden – and his four-out All-Stars.
It seemed like a moment that was going to spur one of those huge Warriors spite everyone runs, but that didn’t come until Stephen Curry hit a insane falling down circus shot, that didn’t even count.
That was just enough for a win Beverley called “a statement”. The Warriors are at the top of their conference with a record of 16-2 heading into this home game while the Rockets are hoping to improve on their 11-7.
Thompson had a miserable shooting night all-around, going 4-of-20 from the field for just 15 points, while Curry scored 28 points but missed the final three and a half minutes of the contest after fouling out. The Vikings trailed the Cowboys by eight with less than two minutes to go. Nobody cares who scores the most points, who gets the assists, rebounds.
Curry finished with 28 points, and Durant had 39 points and 13 rebounds for Golden State, which lost for the first time since November 4. “I still think there is a lot there to like and it’s still too early to be totally discouraged by what you’ve seen thus far”. But we should point out that Curry did tell the Wall Street Journal that “curveballs happen all the time” in free agency during a recent interview.
Ultimately, this game will not come down to how exhausted the Rockets are.
Harden had a massive triple-double with 29 points, 15 rebounds, and 13 assists – a virtuoso performance.
Then Gordon converted a tough shot in the key with 1:53 to go, and the Rockets had a six-point lead they were able to massage to the finish.
“I actually called him at Kentucky past year and was impressed with his demeanor, and the way he was able to thrive off ball at Kentucky and then be incredibly effective in the pick and roll as well”. And just like then, there were a couple of behind the back passes to no one. This isn’t the first time that Green has been punished for kicking another player. “You have to make big shots”. (He better not complain, that is.) Zaza Pachulia doesn’t need shots.

Their other signing fared even worse as David West got worked in his three minutes on the court.
