Thunder try to rebound against Warriors on TNT

If the reigning MVP is able to suit up, however, the Hawks could be in dire straits, particularly since Curry has dropped 40 or more points in three straight games and has knocked down at least 10 triples in back-to-back contests.

The Warriors announced Curry was active for Thursday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Singer Prince, center, smiles as he watches an NBA basketball game between the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder Thursday, March 3, 2016, in Oakland, Calif.

"This is special. We have been dominant here at home", said Curry.

The NBA continues to search for rebuttals to the Warriors' sharp-shooting, high-flying dominance, and last night, for a moment, it seemed like the league might have found one. 500 in their quest to break the Bulls' single-season mark for victories.

Although, it was also clear he felt that Roy Hodgson's reply to questioning had been stripped of context by the subsequent media reports.

In doing so, the Warriors extended their home win streak into territory only traversed by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who also hold the record the Warriors perhaps care most about.

"You can't even dream that stuff up", said Golden State coach Steve Kerr, who played for Chicago during their streak in the mid-'90s. "But it's been that kind of season for us".

"That's the motto that we set since I've been here". "This is when you see what you're made of". Fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson added 21, while Marreese Speights (10 points and four rebounds) and Shaun Livingston (11 points, eight assists and three steals) provided critical sparks off the bench. Thunder led 80-71 at the end of the third quarter.

As Golden State is wont to do, the Warriors relied on sharpshooting, ball-sharing and some perfectly orchestrated pandemonium to slip past Oklahoma City. "We've been pretty healthy most of the way", he said. Last Saturday's loss turned the Thunder into the team with the most apparent advantages to beat the Warriors in a playoff series, but it's hard to argue they have the mettle for accomplishing such things. "But I think we have a deeper team".

Cousins had 22 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.

But he also says it after the Thunder had lost for the fifth time in seven games since the All-Star break, and after the Thunder had lost for the sixth time in the last eight games against opponents with a winning record or.

Much of that confidence stems from the presence of Curry, who was listed on the injury list as "questionable" with a twisted left ankle and didn't decide to play until after warming up a little more than an hour before tipoff.

If the Warriors want to get those last 15 home wins to finish off their flawless season at Oracle, their biggest challenge will be their second-to-last home game on April 7th, when the San Antonio Spurs and their superior point differential come to town.

-The Warriors will have enough salary flexibility to sign him (it would take a whole lot of off-loading for the GSWs to do it, but they can do it)... and they probably won't have that same flexibility for a very long time after this. "I'm not trying to shy away from them".
