Print Edition
The undefeated Golden State Warriors survived a late scare before stretching their winning streak to 25 consecutive games with a 112-109 victory at the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.
Reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry scored 15 of his game-high 44 points in the fourth quarter for the Warriors, who are off to a 21-0 start to the season, including 11-0 on the road.
“We expect teams to fight and come back when we are on the road and that is what they did,” said Curry.
The Warriors have won 25 straight regular season games dating back to last season. Their streak started with a 116-105 win over Portland in April.
The Raptors trailed by as many as 13 points in the first quarter and by 10 points at halftime. Toronto took the lead at 85-84 in the final quarter.
Toronto led 98-95 when forward Luis Scola made two free throws with just over four minutes to play in the fourth, but Curry tied it with a three-pointer.
Curry made two free throws with 18 seconds remaining for a 108-105 Warriors lead. Kyle Lowry cut the margin to one point with a basket before Warriors guard Klay Thompson made a pair of free throws with seven seconds to play.
The lead was down to one when Scola made two free throws with 6.2 seconds left. Curry made both his free throws and Toronto’s Cory Joseph turned over the ball with three seconds to play as it rolled out of bounds.
Thompson added 26 points for the Warriors, while Draymond Green had 16 points and nine rebounds.
Guard Lowry led the Raptors with 41 points in front of a crowd of 20,100. DeMar DeRozan added 16 points.
Elsewhere in the NBA, it was: Nuggets 108, 76ers 105; Hornets 102, Bulls 96; Trail Blazers 109, Timberwolves 103; Rockets 120, Kings 113; Heat 99, Cavaliers 84; Spurs 108, Celtics 105; Bucks 106, Knicks 91; Jazz 122, Pacers 119 (in overtime); and Clippers 103, Magic 101.
