(The Pacers have been allowing opponents just 99.8 points per game.) That moment when you’re down 32 points in the second quarter? Golden State concludes a seven-game trip Saturday in Milwaukee.

The refrain this season will be that the Warriors should be fine as long as Curry and Draymond Green stay upright and mobile – they missed a combined five games last season and are the only two Warriors to have played in all 23 games this season. But with injuries possible at any point, and a schedule that will only get tougher from here, an unblemished regular season is at best unlikely.
More often than not, those players are quick to tell you about the chip on their shoulder that they play with due to their draft night slight.
“It’s not feeling great, but it’s not feeling bad”, Thompson said after Thursday’s practice at Emerson College in Boston. Fortunately for Thompson, Golden State doesn’t play again till Friday at Boston.
Golden State has won four straight in the series, with Thompson finishing with 31 points in a 114-111 home victory January 25 and Stephen Curry scoring 37 in a 106-101 win at Boston on March 1. CJ Miles had 24 points for the Pacers, who made 44 of 100 field goals and 14 of 33 from 3-point range. “It comes down to us playing hard and protecting our homecourt”. “There’s a lot of good teams in this league”. “Every guy is out there to make plays”. Festus Ezeli is grabbing 6.4 rebounds and Andre Iguodala is dishing 3.7 assists. “The recent Most Valuable Player in the National Basketball Association was reportedly dining at the breakfast chain with a Golden State teammate and two unidentified woman when they were spotted by a concerned fan”. So why, if the Warriors have only won 23 games, have you seen people saying all over the place that the Warriors have won 27 straight?
Which team will hand the undefeated Warriors their first loss of the season? The coach could not rave more about the Warriors, but wants his team to focus mostly on itself.
