It became clear extremely early that the Indiana Pacers could not stop the Golden State Warriors. The defending champions took a 44-28 lead into the second quarter on Tuesday, and extended their lead to 79-60 at halftime -- nope, not a typo. Klay Thompson had 29 points in the first half and 39 overall, leading Golden State to a 131-123 victory at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Warriors now own a 23-0 record. If you include their four wins at to end the 2014-15 regular season, then they have tied the 2012-13 Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak, which is the second-longest in NBA history.
