“When you see the kind of support that we get when we are at home or on the road, it’s unbelievable”, Curry said.
Cleveland owns the East’s best record at 10-3, but has yet to play a game with a full roster.
The Warriors also surpassed the 1957-58 Boston Celtics for the best start by a defending champion. Obviously coming off a championship and taking care of business 15 straight times to start a season, I mean, couldn’t ask for a better start obviously. “Since we have 15, we might as well get 16, that’s the next step and we are excited about that challenge Tuesday”.
“It would be a cool milestone”, Thompson said.
“Shows how special this team can be”.
The Warriors led the Nuggets at halftime after the small lineup comes in to save the day. Darrell Arthur scored 11 quick points.
“We had 35 assists tonight, so that was great for us”, Walton noted. They played suffocating defense.
The most impressive aspect of Golden State’s historic start is that the team has accomplished it under interim head coach Luke Walton. His 44.8% shooting from there is better than all but two teams from mid-range (Warriors and Blazers) and four teams in the paint (non-restricted area).
Turnovers were a problem early for the Nuggets, who had more of them at one point (11) than made field goals (10). He had 19 points, the first time this season he didn’t reach 20. He started in place of Kenneth Faried, who missed the game with an ankle injury.
Most regular season games with seven-plus threes: J.R. Smith 25, Stephen Curry 24, Ray Allen 22, Ben Gordon 13, Reggie Miller 13, Quentin Richardson 13, Nick Van Exel 13, Ryan Anderson 12.
Scott admires the way the Warriors play, but he isn’t exactly looking forward to facing them.
Resting wasn’t an option this time. The National Basketball Association record is in their grasp and the Warriors are too determined to let it slip away. They hit their first six shots of the second against the Warriors’ substitutes and then took a 51-50 lead after Curry and the starters checked back into the game. “It would be something nice to get along the way”.

Steve Kerr, on leave while recuperating from two back surgeries, surely loves the spotless record. Kelvin Kuo, USA TODAY Sports November 19, 2015: Things got a bit heated between the Warriors and Clippers, and Paul Pierce, center, had to get between Stephen Curry, right, and DeAndre Jordan. “So I’ve stopped asking it”. “Our inability to guard the 3-point line is a joke”, Nuggets coach Mike Malone told reporters. We’re OK with that. “We’ve been playing like s-“. What about the 2012-13 Miami Heat led by LeBron James, who won 27 straight?
