The streak lives.
Somehow.
A game after the Warriors were pushed into overtime by Brooklyn, Toronto on Tuesday night erased an 18-point, third-quarter deficit and took a 98-96 lead with fewer than six minutes to play.
But just like they did against the Nets on Saturday, the Warriors buckled down to the delight of the sellout crowd at Oracle Arena. They forced the Raptors into four turnovers and 2-for-8 shooting during the game’s final 5 ½ minutes and sneaked away with a 115-110 victory.
The Warriors are the seventh team in the history of the NBA to start a season at least 12-0 and are closing in on the league’s all-time best start of 15-0, which was set by the Washington Capitols in 1948-49 and matched by the Houston Rockets in 1993-94.
