The reigning MVP and his team have been phenomenal this early on, but have yet to encounter a serious opponent until last night when they went on to beat the Los Angeles Clippers on route to a flawless 5-0 record.

Barnes hit a pair of three-pointers and scored 10 straight Golden State points to start the spurt.
“Nothing’s going to come easy this year”, said Curry, the game’s leading scorer with 31 points.
Los Angeles Clippers’ stars Blake Griffin and Chris Paul should also receive a few MVP consideration. “We can not allow ourselves to have too many ups and downs and have lapses in the game where we don’t have pace, we don’t play defense”. The Clippers come in after a win against the Suns and they came back in that game after being down in the second half and now they will try and get another win against the Warriors.
If they’re truly better than they were previous year, it’s a scary notion for teams in the Western Conference.
After setting a career-high for points in a single quarter against the Pelicans on Halloween, Stephen Curry shredded the Grizzlies for 30 points Monday night.
It’s only four games into the season, but Steph Curry looks really good.
“We are not the ‘Bad News Bears.’ We are a team that has championship aspirations, and for us to do that, we have to win”.
Beal finished with 25 points and John Wall had 17 points and 13 assists for Washington.
The Grizzlies kicked off a season-long five-game, nine-day road trip in forgettable fashion, going 3-for-23 from 3-point range. The New Orleans Pelicans (twice), Houston Rockets and now the Grizzlies have suffered double-digit losses to the Warriors after entering the season as Western Conference contenders. As he catches the ball on the perimeter, Draymond Green comes flying at him to run him off the three-point line.
Curry and backcourt mate Klay Thompson added two last-minute free throws apiece as the Warriors (5-0) recorded their eighth consecutive home win over their Southern California rivals. INJURY REPORT:Clippers – N/A. Warriors – C A. Bogut (questionable Wednesday, concussion), SF K. Looney (Late January, hip). Now, we may not see an explosion like the one last January where he scored 37 points in the third quarter against the Sacramento Kings, and it is still fairly early in the season, but an uptick in his assertiveness and shooting efficiency should bode well for the rest of the season.

The Warriors went small for the final minutes, and applied the hack-a-Jordan technique that has worked so well in the past.
