The Warriors’ superb start to the campaign has obscured some other strong early-season form by the likes of San Antonio, which improved to 17-4 with a similarly tight win against Boston. “So we know that and that’s why we’re constantly encouraging our guys to be on the attack”.

“The 21-game winning streak is surreal because it doesn’t sound right when you say it out loud”, said Curry following the game in front of a large group of reporters. For the Nets, Thaddeus Young led the way with 25 points and 14 rebounds. The Warriors defeated the Raptors 115-110 in the first meeting between the teams November 17 at Oracle Arena…. Ultimately, Brooklyn showed why it still has the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference.
“It’s one of our biggest strengths, is that we’re never out of a game and we’re always one little run away from putting a game away”, coach Luke Walton said.

Then, the improbable happened.
Miami, which faces the Washington Wizards on Monday, was winning two straight and three in the last four games.
The Warriors won their 22nd straight game and routed the Nets, 114-98, at Barclays Center with Mikhail Prokhorov looking on. On the next possession, he gave the Warriors the lead for good with an uncontested 3-pointer and finished the quarter by finding Ezeli for an alley-oop dunk before converting a 3-point play and knocking down a 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds left. The Warriors led 87-80 headed into the fourth after the reigning MVP’s latest outburst. “I got some shots up on that rim for three years every game night”, he said. “And things started to click”.
The NBA is easing up a bit today after yesterday’s busy schedule, but we’ve still got five games to look forward to. Golden State C Andrew Bogut tested out his lower back during pregame warmups and returned after missing Saturday’s game…. Barbosa made all three of his 3-point attempts on his way to scoring 11 points.
John Wall had 28 points, 10 assists and five steals for the Wizards.
It’s those types of performances that enable the Warriors to stay ideal. They fought back. They fell short. Even on nights when they’re battling some fatigue, they can come through it with victories. “He’s a great player”, said Brooklyn coach Lionel Hollins. They headed into the 2nd quarter down 32-21.
