Print Edition
GOLDEN State’s Stephen Curry overcame a slow start to score 23 points as part of his sixth career triple-double, leading the Warriors to a 122-103 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Monday and their 29th win in 30 games this National Basketball Association season.
The Warriors improved to 15-0 at home, but that was outdone by San Antonio, which improved to 18-0 on home court by beating Minnesota.
Golden State’s Curry added a career-high 14 rebounds and 10 assists while Klay Thompson scored 29 for the Warriors, who also won their final 18 home games last season to make it 33 in succession over the two campaigns.
Omri Casspi scored a career-high 36 points, tying Mike Bibby’s team record with nine 3-pointers, for Sacramento but the Kings still lost their 11th straight against their northern California rivals.
San Antonio had six players score in double figures and overcame the ejection of coach Gregg Popovich to beat the Timberwolves 101-95.
The Spurs joined the 1978 Portland Trail Blazers and 1986 Houston Rockets as the only Western Conference teams to open a season 18-0 at home.
Kawhi Leonard had 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Boban Marjanovic, filling in for Tim Duncan, also scored 17.
Popovich was thrown out with 1:13 remaining in the first half on two successive technical fouls following a non-call on LaMarcus Aldridge.
Andrew Wiggins led Minnesota with 18 points.
