Throughout the season, the Golden State Warriors have been unstoppable and the primary reason why most pundits think they are undefeated is the reigning MVP, Stephen Curry. Walton has joked that if the Warriors get close to breaking the Lakers’ all-time win streak of 33 games, he won’t hesitate to use everyone as needed to get those deciding wins, but the fact is that every victory the Warriors can bank now – and they won’t all be wins through April 13 – means more opportunity for rest and recuperation as the regular season comes toward its close.

The Pacers made some adjustments on Thompson by crowding him at the three-point line but when this happened, Thompson was able to drive by his defender and find teammates for open looks.
THUNDER 125, GRIZZLIES 88: Kevin Durant had 32 points and 10 rebounds for Oklahoma City, and Russell Westbrook added 13 points while matching his season high with 16 assists. “They were excited about this game”. Also true, and the effort to beat the Warriors at their own game turned out to be a flawed plan which was evident before the end of the first quarter.
And I realize that Miami seemed to wear down under the pressure of the streak that season. First quarter or fourth, opponents are beaten to a pulp and are unable to reply until it’s too late.
“It’s probably going to be sore for a couple days, but I should be back in no time…” With the likes of Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes, Klay Thompson and incredible second unit, the Warriors are just an all-around, well-oiled, winning machine. “Going in I felt great”. “Hopefully, I’ll get the same progress tomorrow, and I should be good to go here soon”. “It’s like 60 percent – nah, 70”. The team finished 1 for 16 from 3-point range. In the first four games, Thompson was averaging over 20 points and dropping four threes per game. “You double team one guy with ball, and he passes out”.
Here is a look at the Warriors schedule, and NBA TV may also provide live in-game coverage during nightly broadcasts.
The early minutes of the game were fast and furious and the Pacers took that action to the Dubs as the teams went back and forth quickly with shots fired within 10-15 seconds max.
“Besides being a player, I’m a fan of the game”.
Curry said he feels like the best player in the world when he walks onto the court.
Even more importantly, they are having fun while doing it. Sure, it’s a lot easier to have fun when you’re winning.
Now that the Dubs are half way to reaching the Lakers’ 33-game win streak in 1971-72, sportsbooks are beginning to wonder, what are the odds that they would match or top the Lakers’ more than 40 years National Basketball Association record of the team that has the most number of consecutive wins in a single season?

This time, it was largely because of Thompson who was 8 of 10 on 3-pointers in the first half. The Warriors have just one championship so far and yes, that “luck” thing people keep talking about has been a factor.
