REIGNING NBA CHAMPIONS the Golden State Warriors are rolling like a well-oiled machine, extending their record setting start with a 135-116 rout of the host Phoenix Suns last night.
In what is becoming the status quo for the mighty Warriors, guard Stephen Curry scored 41 points and made nine three-pointers as they stretched their unbeaten streak to start the season to an NBA-record 17 games.
The Warriors had a season-high in points and made a season-high 22 three-pointers and shot 56.8% from the field, 57.9% on three-point attempts.
Curry said they are attracting new fans where ever they go.
“It was packed in our section,” Curry said. “Dub Nation is growing by the day.
It’s fun to see on the road. Even some ‘Let’s go Warrior’ chants during the game. And we played well to back it up.
Reserve guard Leandro Barbosa had 21 points and made all five of his three-point attempts for Golden State, who set the NBA record for consecutive wins at the start of the season against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday.
Reigning league MVP Curry drained a season-high nine three-pointers and added eight assists and six rebounds at Talking Stick Resort Arena. He made nine-of-16 three-point attempts.
“A lot of that is based on our ball movement,” Curry said.
We shoot a lot of threes, but we like to shoot a lot of good ones. Ball movement leads to in-rhythm shots. I knew we made a lot.”
“They shoot threes like layups,” Phoenix forward Markieff Morris said.
Robbie Keane deserves a statue outside Landsdowne Road, our greatest ever player
If rob keane is your best ever player I feel sorry for Irish football. On another note David Moyes is a fraud to football.
scores heaps of goals for us, loves playing for his country, most caps, amazing servant.
I bet your raging nobody took the bait
Keane has more goals than any English player ever in international football history…..
Remember England playing Emile Heskey on the wing at the World Cup?? Donkeys that country are at football
Strange but I have a good feeling about this game IRL 3 – 0 SWE . Come on you boys in green
Sweden and Austria are both there for the taking. COYBIG
Would love to see a full or almost full Aviva tonight, seems to be such a rarity for football matches at it. Not sure of our chances but we did play well away from home against them, COYBIG
obviously i understand the financial problems meaning people can’t afford the FAI’s ridiculously overpriced tickets also.
It’s Robbie Keanes boyhood dream to play for Sweden
Most overused joke in Irish football…
