When we analyze how each of these franchises, it is hard to believe that they play the same sport in the same league, but we are at this incredible point in which two record-breaking streaks are going in opposite directions at the same time. This will be tough game for the Jazz.
Golden State visits Charlotte on Wednesday.
_500 Milestone win recently reached by Curry’s college coach, Bob McKillop, who guided Curry’s career for three years at Davidson. They turn the ball over less than anyone (12.1 per game) and can limit the Warriors’ transition opportunities with ball security. They have the best assist-to-turnover ratio in the league at 1.88. They played well enough for over 47 minutes to put themselves one possession away from winning, but were ultimately unable to capitalize and close out the game.
In other games, Greg Monroe scored 18 points as the Milwaukee Bucks forced 24 turnovers that led to 35 points in handing Denver its seventh consecutive loss 92-74, the Detroit Pistons downed the Houston Rockets 116-105 and the Sacramento Kings were 112-98 winners over the Dallas Mavericks.

The total has gone UNDER in 16 of Utah’s last 22 games when playing Golden State. Nobody could have gone home feeling cheated, that’s for sure. Curry basically doesn’t miss-he’s shooting 51.5 percent from the field, 44.3 percent from 3-point range, and 93.9 percent from the free-throw line. While it was certainly expected that the Warriors would be a contender to repeat and maintain their formidable roster, this stunning start to the season has already made National Basketball Association history, and taken away many doubts that tend to surround defending champions as they approach a new season.
Walker has gone 15 of 31 from 3-point range while averaging 23.4 points in his last seven games, while Lamb continues to produce in his sixth-man role, averaging 12.8 points on the season.
The Clippers barely outrebounded Portland 55-54, the first time in 18 games this season that they had the advantage in that department.
