The Golden State Warriors had a three-game homestand and started another short road trip this week, but none of that kept the Warriors from keeping their win streak going. Golden State has now won six games in a row, with the last four all coming by double digits - showing just how dominant the Warriors have been. More on the week that was and more inside our Warriors Weekly update:
Last Week:
Golden State wrapped up a five-game road trip last Tuesday, in which they pulled out a 113-109 win over the New Orleans Pelicans led by Draymond Green's 15th career triple-double. The Warriors then returned home on Thursday to face the New York Knicks and put on a show in a nationally televised game, and put on a passing performance for the ages. They scored an assist on their first 36 baskets, finishing the 103-90 win with 41 assists.
On Saturday, the Warriors had perhaps their most dominant game of the season in a 135-90 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Led by 34 points from Kevin Durant, 11 different players scored as Golden State shot nearly 60 percent from the field.
The Warriors closed their homestand on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. After a slow start, Stephen Curry scored as many points as all of Utah's starters combined (25 points) while leading Golden State to a 104-74 victory. The week ended on Thursday as the Warriors started another three-game road trip against the Brooklyn Nets. Despite trailing at halftime, Golden State rallied in the second half and won, 117-101.
What's Up Next:
Golden State faces the Detroit Pistons on Friday in the second game of a back-to-back, then will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day in a NBA Finals rematch.
The Warriors will return home and close the week on Wednesday when they host the Toronto Raptors.
Injuries:
Green missed Thursday's win over the Nets in order to be present for the birth of his son, but he is expected to re-join the team for Friday's game against the Pistons.
