The Golden State Warriors are continuing their historic unbeaten run to open the 2015–16 National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season and will look to keep their clean record when they host the Sacramento Kings today, Saturday, at the Oracle Arena.
Golden State defeated the Phoenix Suns last Friday 135–116, setting the longest undefeated streak to start the season at 17–0.
The Dubs were led by reigning Most Valuable Player (MVP) Stephen Curry who had 41 points, which included nine three-pointers.
Along with his offensive production, Curry also recorded six rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in 31 minutes of action, as he sat out the fourth quarter with the Warriors already in full control of the game by that period.
Veteran guard Leandro Barbosa also shone for the defending champions as he exploded for 21 points coming off the bench.
Curry's Splash brother, guard Klay Thompson, had 15 points; meanwhile, forward Draymond Green had another triple-double with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, also having one steal and two blocks.
Another impressive number in the win over Phoenix is that the Dubs had 22 makes from three-point country which is a franchise record, according to the Associated Press.
The Warriors remain on top of the Western Conference standings with their unblemished 17–0 record.
Meanwhile, the Kings are heading to the match losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves at home Friday, 101–91.
Reserve guard Marco Belinelli led all scorers for Sacramento tallying 17 points, while center Kosta Koufos and point guard Rajon Rondo had double-doubles in the loss.
Koufos had 16 points with 13 rebounds, also having one steal and a block, as Rondo tallied 16 points and 16 assists, with four rebounds.
