No Curry but Warriors stay perfect at home
Print Edition
THE Golden State Warriors struggled without NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry on Tuesday, but held on to beat Atlanta 109-105 in overtime to stay perfect at home this season.
The Warriors have won all 25 games on their home court in Oakland, California, this season and 43 straight regular-season games at Oracle Arena dating back to last season.
But with Curry sidelined by a sore ankle, it was a close game. “Terrific victory,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “Our guys stayed with it. Every single guy who played contributed. Great team effort.”
Draymond Green beat the shot-clock with an awkward three-pointer with 40.2 seconds left in overtime to give the Warriors a 107-103 lead.
Golden State’s Australian center Andrew Bogut had saved the ball from going out of bounds and swatted it to Green, who leapt and released his shot.
Klay Thompson’s 3-pointer with 2:54 left in overtime had put the Warriors up by one and Bogut tipped in a Green miss to make it 104-101. The Hawks cut the gap to one point with Paul Millsap’s layup before Green’s off-balance shot, and Thompson capped the scoring with a step-back jump shot with 11.4 seconds left.
Golden State (54-5) can tie the Bulls’ 44-game unbeaten mark at home from March 30, 1995, to April 4, 1996, when it hosts Oklahoma City tomorrow.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, it was: Hornets 126, Suns 92; Heat 129, Bulls 111; Trail Blazers 104, Knicks 85; Mavericks 121, Magic 108; and Lakers 107, Nets 101.
