Warriors win 19th in a row

500 Milestone win recently reached by Curry’s college coach, Bob McKillop, who guided Curry’s career for three years at Davidson. Golden State did a great job getting offensive rebounds (14) while shooting.488.483.800. The Panthers are undefeated at 11-0. But the Thunder lost for the first time since he rejoined the lineup. “But hopefully not until like February, so it’s a win-win”. They can play big or small and have a surprising capacity to adapt to the situation. “And then we will eventually lose down the road”. If their record would still be spotless, their next games would be with the Sacramento Kings (6-12), Dallas Mavericks (10-7), Houston Rockets (7-10), Denver Nuggets (6-11) and Charlotte Hornets.

Golden State won the season series past year with three wins in four games and has won seven out of the last eight matchups against the Jazz.

A pipe dream? Well, sure.

And man, is he ever enjoying himself.

Stephen Curry just led his team to their 19 straight victory, but as ESPN recounted, it was not that easy.

The Warrior’s, Stephen Curry finished with 26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals. “And I’m not just talking about statistics”.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Utah’s last 5 games.

Curry nailed both free throws at the other end and Gordon Hayward (24 points on 9-of-19 FG) could only muster a desperation heave.

A bigger problem for the Jazz is how few shots they take from deep.

“That’s a huge accomplishment”, Curry said of McKillop’s 500th win. The NBA record for consecutive wins is 33, set by the 1971-72 L.A. Lakers.

Eavesdropping on a conversation between Warriors players then would be like going to Dowsett’s house and taking video of him while he sits on the toilet in the privacy of his bathroom.

“It’s something to look forward to and to work for”, Curry said.

Snyder and Jazz players, while bummed with the loss, were pleased with the performance and feel it could serve as a springboard moving forward. It’s collegiate coaching and collegiate playing at its best and we haven’t seen the National Basketball Association dominated like this since Miami won 27 games in a row in 2012-13 around a mighty LeBron before winning the title. But to do what we did and have to double it, that’s pretty insane. “I think we responded well”.

Ultimately, the situation won’t have much of an effect on Golden State unless it becomes a constant stream of disrespect toward opponents. You don’t know. Golden State went to their star at the end and he made the plays that mattered.

Not even her own son is safe from being accused of some poor play, as Barbers-Green flawlessly executes a criticism sandwich here (encouragement, followed by criticism, followed by more encouragement). “We’ve got to get better in crunch time”. That’s a credit to the team’s confidence in its identity as a bruising, interior-focused team at a time when that approach has often been called outdated.

Ben Dowsett of Salt City Hoops sent out a series of messages on social media questioning the Warriors’ lack of respect for their opponent’s effort.

“Hard fought win to start the road trip”, Curry said. Curry said he also has a Charles Godfrey jersey and an old-school Mike Minter jersey he can choose from. They turn the ball over less than anyone (12.1 per game) and can limit the Warriors’ transition opportunities with ball security. It must have really bothered him because he tweeted a whole lot about it.
