Preview
Golden State is now on a four-game winning streak after their humiliating 20-point loss to the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this month.
Their last victim was the Phoenix Suns, whom they have beaten, 133-120, at the Oracle Arena on Sunday night, as per SF Gate.
Golden State overcame a bad night on the defensive end with their excellent offense as Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Kevin Durant scored 30, 30, and 29 points respectively to help the Warriors turn back a gritty challenge by Devin Booker and the Suns.
Curry also had six rebounds, six assists, and two steals while his Splash brother Thompson also chipped in two boards and one assist. Durant also grabbed nine boards and dished off five dimes with two blocked shots.
Draymond Green was equally productive with 14 points, seven rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, and two blocks.
Head coach Steve Kerr's squad is slowly finding their groove, particularly Thompson who seemed to have recovered from his shooting slump early in the season. Thompson shot 11-for-18 during the game, including a 5-for-8 stint from beyond the arc.
However, what is evident about the Warriors is their lack of bench production as no one in the second unit has scored in double figures once again.
Meanwhile, the Raptors were defeated by reigning champions Cleveland Cavaliers, 121-117, at the Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday in a tightly-contested game that could have gone either way in the final minutes, ESPN reported.
Kyle Lowry led Toronto with 28 points, five rebounds, nine assists, and four steals in a losing effort. Backcourt partner DeMar DeRozan struggled from the field, shooting 10-for 27 en route to a 26-point outing. DeRozan also had six boards, four assists, and three steals.
Prediction
Golden State has won four of its five road games this season while Toronto is so far 4-2 at home. The Raptors will put up a good fight as always, but the Warriors will prevail in the end of another high-scoring match.
