The Golden State Warriors have made it through all but one of seven straight road games with their unbeaten streak intact, but just barely.

The Warriors eventually clawed ahead after 10 extra minutes of play, gutting out a 124 – 119 victory. The conglomerates that are the NFL and major college football take up all the oxygen in the room, they’d argue. They could then surpass the Lakers’ record in their next game, December 28 against Sacramento at home.
Injuries to Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes, two overtimes, a tenacious Celtics defense and a raucous Boston crowd weren’t enough to defeat the Golden State Warriors, now 24-0 after escaping TD Garden with a 124-119 victory on Friday night. In exchange, Golden State got some salary cap relief and unloaded Lee’s contract that pays him $15.5 million this season.
Forward Draymond Green collected 24 points and 11 rebounds for Golden State, which played without guard Klay Thompson and won its 28th straight regular-season game dating to last season.
“That’s not on our mind”.
Luke Walton continued to put undue pressure on the Warriors by not allowing the Warriors to go 2 for 1.
Boston threw the kitchen sink at Golden State.
The Boston Celtics (13-9) are coming from a 105-100 win over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. Andre Iguodala, ever the steady hand in the clutch, went for a Festus Ezeli bullet pass lob, albeit the third option.
Another night, another obstacle for Golden State. For them to run through the league the way they are running through the league just tells you, not only how good they are, but how grounded they are. Some went out to bars, finding one with access to the game and watching throughout.
“They haven’t lost a game”. “Because (if) you let those guys get set, they’re so long they switch things, they make it really hard on you as you saw even in the side-outs”. This isn’t something that happens in December, in the middle of Week 14 of the National Football League season. Veteran Brandon Rush has seen an increase to his role on the team’s five-game road trip and had 13 points in a season-high 25 minutes against the Pacers.
The Celtics had two chances to win at the end of regulation, tied 103-all, but Shaun Livingston blocked Thomas’ attempt.
Curry made up for his poor overall shooting by going 6 for 13 from 3-point range and a ideal 14 of 14 from the free throw line, sinking a pair of foul shots with 13.4 seconds left to give the Warriors a three-point lead in the second overtime. He had 24 points, 11 boards, eight assists, five steals, and five blocks.
If the Warriors were finally going to lose, it figured to be a night when so much was stacked against them.
INDIANAPOLIS – Monta Ellis had 24 points, six assists and six steals to help IN beat Miami and end a three-game losing streak.
This felt like the game that would end Golden State’s improbable start to the season.
“[But] we’ve been through those wars the past couple years”.
While some may believe the MTO picture is indicative of a cheating scandal, Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha are definitely having a good laugh because they know exactly who was in the controversial photo.

Next up, the Warriors will travel to Milwaukee to face the Bucks Saturday on the second night of their back-to-back. It’s a fun game obviously, the kind of atmosphere that you like.

Asked if he wants to top the National Basketball Association great, Curry said, “Yeah”.
