And in the 18th win, Brandon Rush joined the party.
This is the way the Warriors roll these days. Harrison Barnes goes down with a sprained ankle and here comes Rush, usually an afterthought but suddenly a central character Saturday night at Oracle Arena.
Rush scored 14 of his 16 points in the third quarter, as the Warriors pulled away from Sacramento for a 120-101 victory. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 19 points, while Rudy Gay paced the Kings with 20.
Thus did the Warriors’ historic start reach 18-0.
