In the midst of playing their best basketball of the season, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green extended personal streaks and the Warriors blew out the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-98 Monday night at Chase Center.
With 36 points on 13-of-19 shooting (7-of-11 from 3-point range), Curry has scored at least 25 points and shot 50% or better from the field in each of the past 10 games, setting a new career-best streak.
Green (six points, eight rebounds and 16 assists) set a career high in assists and has tallied 10 or more assists in six of his past seven games. His playmaking was key in a 19-4 run that broke the game open and helped Golden State take a 23-point lead in the third quarter. Curry and Green did not re-enter the game in the fourth quarter of the rout.
Overall, the Warriors (15-13) moved the ball well as they drove to the heart of Cleveland’s defense, kicked out for open 3-pointers (17-for-37 from beyond the arc) and assisted on 34-of-46 made field goals.
For the Cavaliers (10-19), Colin Sexton scored 23 points and Cedi Osman had 17 points, 10 rebounds and two assists.
