The greatest NBA dynasty of the 21st century flexed its muscles at the Toyota Center on Sunday night.
Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors fought their way to a 127-120 victory, bringing back painful memories for the Houston Rockets regarding the end of the last decade. Klay Thompson buried four first-quarter triples and 10 threes in total as the Warriors built a double-digit early lead. Curry sealed the contest, draining a triple late in the shot clock in the final minutes before unleashing his patented "night-night" celebration.
Even as Golden State limps out of the gates this season, by its own standards, Steve Kerr's squad is consistently able to deliver in clutch situations.
