Warriors, Spurs stay hot at home
Print Edition
Klay Thompson drove for a go-ahead basket with 15.6 seconds left in overtime on Saturday as the Golden State Warriors kept their NBA home winning streak alive with a bruising 111-108 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
The Warriors improved to 16-0 at home this season, and posted their 34th straight win at Oracle Arena in Oakland, a streak stretching back to last season.
They aren’t the only team dominating on their home floor, and the San Antonio Spurs became just the third Western Conference team ever to open a season 20-0 at home with a 121-103 victory over the Houston Rockets.
In Oakland, a Warriors team missing five injured players were buoyed by the return from injury of Stephen Curry and exploded for a 37-13 first-quarter lead.
But the Nuggets outscored them in each of the next three quarters, the Warriors unable to keep them at bay after Curry departed at halftime having aggravated his bruised left shin.
Power forward Draymond Green helped fill the void with a triple double of 29 points, 17 rebounds and 14 assists.
Thompson finished with 16 points.
Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge scored 24 points and pulled down 9 rebounds and guard Danny Green broke out of a shooting slump with six 3-pointers for San Antonio, which has now won 29 straight games at home dating back to last season.
Elsewhere on Saturday, it was: Nets 100, Celtics 97; Kings 142, Suns 119; Pacers 94, Pistons 82; Thunder 109, Hornets 90; Cavaliers 104, Magic 79; Bucks 95, Timberwolves 85; Pelicans 105, Mavericks 98; Jazz 92, Grizzlies 87 (in overtime); and Clippers 130, 76ers 99.
