The Warriors have about 55 percent chance of getting to Christmas undefeated, in which case they’ll beat Cleveland and tie the record.
With the presumed threat posed by the Indiana Pacers behind them, the Warriors face no obvious hazards on the road to 34. There could be a few bumps, to be sure, but the ride from here is mostly downhill.
This assumes, of course, Klay Thompson’s sprained right ankle is as minor as he believed in the aftermath of a 131-123 victory at Indiana on Tuesday night. If so, the goal of winning 34 consecutive games becomes altogether attainable.
