Warriors extend streak to 11
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 16 - 11 - 2015

The Golden State Warriors won an 11th consecutive game Saturday night, beating the Nets 107-99 in overtime with Brooklyn left with only themselves to blame.
Reserve Warriors swingman Andre Iguodala sent the game to overtime with a tying three-pointer with 5.9 seconds remaining in regulation, allowing them to outlast the Nets and remain the NBA's lone unbeaten team.
But in between, Nets center Brook Lopez couldn't convert a lob pass from no more than two feet in front of the rim as time expired, extending the game and eventually leading to the Nets' ninth loss in 10 games this season.
Brooklyn, which completed its road trip 1-3, had two shots at a win, but point guard Jarrett Jack misfired on an 18-footer before Lopez's miss at the horn.
Stephen Curry scored 34 points for Warriors. He hit five three pointers to pass his father, Dell, on the NBA all-time list for threes. The reigning league MVP now has 1,248 three pointers, three more than Dell Curry, who ranks 43rd on the all-time list.
Green recorded his second career triple-double with 16 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds for Golden State. Center Andrew Bogut, of Australia, chipped in a 10-point, 18-rebound double-double.
Jack led the Nets with 28 points, while Young had 26 points and 10 rebounds.
Bucks 108, Cavaliers 105 (2OT): LeBron James scored 37 points but it wasn't enough for the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose eight-game winning streak was snapped with a 108-105 double-overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
James scored Cleveland's last six points in regulation and blew right by Bucks guard Khris Middleton for a game-tying dunk with 16.5 seconds to play.
James missed a potential game-winner as time expired but he scored four of the Cavaliers' seven points in the second overtime. However, Milwaukee got three-pointers from forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and guard Greivis Vasquez, and went six-for-six from the free-throw line to close it out.
Clippers 101, Pistons 96: Forward Blake Griffin had 34 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, while guard Jamal Crawford scored a season-high 37 points to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 101-96 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Forward Ersan Ilyasova and point guard Reggie Jackson both scored 20 points for the Pistons, while center Andre Drummond finished with 18 points and 19 rebounds.
Clippers guard Austin Rivers, who finished with 13 points, nailed a three-point jumper with 2:34 remaining to lift his side to a 93-90 lead they never relinquished.
Wizards 108, Magic 99: Forward Kris Humphries scored 23 points and sank three of his five three-pointers in the fourth quarter as the Washington Wizards snapped a three-game losing streak with a 108-99 win over the Orlando Magic.
Guard Garrett Temple matched his career high with 18 points for the Wizards, who pulled ahead with an 8-0 run for a 94-90 lead. Guard John Wall finished with 15 points and 11 assists.
Center Nikola Vucevic had 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Magic. Guard Evan Fournier scored 18 points, Elfrid Payton 17, and forward Aaron Gordon added 12.
Mavericks 110, Rockets 98: Raymond Felton and Charlie Villanueva led a makeshift starting lineup to a 110-98 victory for the Dallas Mavericks over the Houston Rockets.
Felton (23 points) and Villanueva (19 points) led six Mavericks in double figures as Dallas rested starters Dirk Nowitzki, Chandler Parsons and Wesley Matthews following a win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
Other results: Spurs 92, 76ers 83; Suns 105, Nuggets 81. — Agencies
