Jordan punched the ball down court to Johnson for an easy layup, but it was the Toronto Raptors that got the last laugh as they pulled away to win 91-80.
“You can be up by 23 [against the Warriors] and it doesn’t matter, especially if they’ve got two quarters left”. “I love what they’re doing right now, I love it. It’s fun”, fan Stephen Karlisch said.
At this point, Golden State holds a huge 7-game lead in the Pacific Division, with Phoenix, not the Clippers, now holding second place. The Warriors have scored at least 100 points throughout the streak.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets were led by Darrell Arthur’s season-high 21 points and eight rebounds.
With their 118-105 win over the Denver Nuggets are now 15-0 on the season and have the chance to become the first team ever to start a season 16-0.
J.J. Redick scored 17 points, and Chris Paul had 13 points and 11 assists as the Clippers lost for the third straight time and seventh in nine games.
“It would be nice to run the table, win all playoff games and all finals games”, Bogut said.
Serge Ibaka had 16 points, nine rebounds, and a key late blocked shot for the Thunder, who were without star forward Kevin Durant (injured hamstring) for the sixth straight game.
“I’d be hard pressed to find somebody who’s better than him, especially off the bounce”, Malone said.
When the Lakers arrive at the Oracle Arena, the atmosphere will be electric. The superstar guard scored 19 points and made three 3-pointers, but his makes were more of the “timely” variety than the knockout blows they normally are. But whatever hope the Nuggets had of an upset ended quickly in the third quarter, when Curry scored 10 of his 19 points (he also tallied seven assists, four rebounds and three steals in 27 minutes) – two of which came on this pretty unfair cat-and-mouse step-back over poor Danilo Gallinari. The Warriors played sluggishly at the start of the game and even allowed Denver to erase an 11-point deficit and take a 51-50 lead in the second. “People say, ‘Press up and make him drive, ‘ but he can get to the cup and finish, and he’s more than a capable playmaker”.
