The Golden State Warriors extended their regular season undefeated streak to 27 straight games on Tuesday night with a 131-123 victory over the Indiana Pacers. “But, if he feels good and the trainers say he’s good, then there’s a chance he could play”.

Yes, the 27-game winning streak is now a unique and possibly more famous thing than anything else… though I would argue it’s just part of everything else.
“It’s to the point where I think that hunger comes from us playing for each other”. The team is just six games away from matching the all-time record held by the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, which is 33- game winning streak.
Thompson, who finished with a season-high 39 points against the Pacers, was walking under his own power with a bit of a limp after the game, though the team said X-rays were negative. Curry had 29 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists.
Thompson went 10 for 16 on 3s.
“It was one of those nights where I got a lot of great looks”.
“I’m optimistic”, Thompson said. “‘I felt like I was due for a game like that”.
For the Warriors there were only two big concerns.
Warriors – SG Klay Thompson (Probable, ankle), SG Leandro Barbosa (Questionable, illness), SF Harrison Barnes (Mid December, ankle), SF Kevon Looney (Late January, hip).
Lee, traded by Golden State to the Celtics in July to clear salary cap space, averaged 16.7 points and 9.3 rebounds in five seasons with the Warriors. Sacramento established a 12-point lead after one quarter and led throughout in a 114-106 win against Utah, with both DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay scoring 23 points.
IN was led by Paul George with 33 points.
“This team is good”.
Asked how he wouldn’t get so excited, Sullinger said, “They’re in the same league as us”.
And here appearances don’t deceive: There may be no National Basketball Association team where the players on the bench cheer more enthusiastically for the five guys on the floor.
Luke Walton, who is filling in for Kerr while he recovers from back surgery, has continued to utilize a “small-ball lineup” that opponents have tried unsuccessfully to counter. It’s not just Stephen, it’s not just Klay.
“The 6’3″ point guard plays a different position than Jordan who was a shooting guard at 6’6”.
Thompson hopped on one leg after the landing and was unable to put weight on his right ankle for a moment, before walking to the locker room.

The Oklahoma City Thunder won each and every quarter against the Grizzlies in Memphis as they dominated almost every aspect of the game. Replay was used to determine if Neal beat the shot clock, but the traveling issue was not reviewable.
