Thunder try to rebound against Warriors on TNT

Mar 11, 2016, 02:50

The Warriors' second win over the Thunder in six days was their 44th straight at Oracle Arena as they equalled the record set by the Chicago Bulls from March 1995 to April 1996. But it's been that kind of season for us. Payne and Morrow could provide some help to the Thunder's lack of outside shooting; they were just 4-20 from deep tonight.

But the Warriors seem to have a highly realistic chance to either tie the record with 72 wins or break it with 73. Day by day the western conference is telling more and more, teams thought to be playing great ball aren't while teams that had no expectations ( Portland Trailblazers ) are showing how elite they are becoming so saying it will be a quick run through the playoffs for Golden State might get you in trouble.

Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors continued their pursuit of a place in National Basketball Association history with a comfortable 121-106 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday.

The Thunder had built a nine-point lead in the third quarter at 80-71 before the Warriors began to click on offense.

"Honestly", Stephen Curry said, "if we are a 70-win team and champions versus a 73-win team and depleted energy and banged up going into the playoffs, we're trying to avoid that. However, the Thunder have gone 2-6 during a grueling post-All-Star break schedule that's featured two games with Golden State and only two sub-.500 opponents.

I think Martial can play, Darmian can play and maybe Smalling - we'll wait and see". "But it also means it's a full programme". Manchester United's 1-0 win over Watford on Wednesday through a Juan Mata strike was incredibly lucky for a number of reasons.

In fact, the 76ers have been worse than the team's season average of -10.7 points per game, but their recent play and season long play both explain why their overall record is 8-53.

Leonard was 12-of-22 shooting, including 6 for 10 from 3-point range. Russell Westbrook delivered with 22 points, six rebounds and seven assists.

The Warriors continue to struggle to contain Kevin Durant as he almost put up a triple double with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. The game-changing run featured key performances from Leandro Barbosa, suddenly adept outside shooter Marreese Speights, and Shaun Livingston, who was one of their better players on the night with 11 points, eight assists, three steals, and several important defensive assignments.

"We've definitely got to get it under control", Durant said after their sixth loss in eight games.

"We want to keep that going".

Golden State was led by Stephen Curry's game-high 33 points.

And if they can beat the Thunder by 15 points, what should the spread be when the Magic fly into Oakland Monday night?
