Warriors silence Thunder 117-91
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 07 - 01 - 2015

OAKLAND — The Golden State Warriors underscored their dominance in the NBA's Western Conference Monday with a 117-91 pounding of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Stephen Curry scored 19 points, pulled down nine rebounds, handed out six assists and had four steals for the Warriors, who have reeled off four straight home wins by an average of 25 points. The Warriors connected on 15-of-28 from three-point range.
Klay Thompson also scored 19 points, Harrison Barnes made all five of his three-point attempts for a team-high 23 points and Draymond Green added 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Warriors.
Golden State led by 20 points at halftime, keeping reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Kevin Durant and Russell Durant in check and limiting the Thunder overall to just 30.6 percent shooting.
Westbrook finished with 22 points while Durant had 14 points and 10 rebounds but connected on just three of his 16 shots from the floor.
Hawks 107, Clippers 98: The sizzling Atlanta Hawks captured their eighth win in a row over a Western Conference foe, their best run since the 1997-98 season, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 107-98 on the road.
Paul Millsap scored 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds and Jeff Teague added 20 points, nine assists and four steals as the Hawks (26-8) won their fifth straight and the 10th in their last 11 games.
Mavericks 96, Nets 88 (OT): Dirk Nowitzki moved into sole possession of seventh place on the NBA's all-time scoring list by hitting a clinching three-pointer with 34.8 seconds remaining in overtime, as the Dallas Mavericks ran their winning streak to six games with a 96-88 victory over the Brooklyn Nets.
Nowitzki, who needed 13 points to surpass Hall of Famer Moses Malone, finished with 15 points.
76ers 95, Cavaliers 92: Tony Wroten scored nine of his 20 points in the last 3:48, including the go-ahead layup with 9.1 seconds left, as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers 95-92 for their first home victory of the season.
The Sixers (5-28) had dropped their first 14 at home, five shy of the NBA record held by the 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks.
Cleveland (19-16), who lost for the fifth time in six games, had just nine available players because of injuries to LeBron James and Kyrie Irving and a pending three-team trade that prevented Dion Waiters, Lou Amundson and Alex Kirk from participating.
Pacers 105, Jazz 101: Center Roy Hibbert scored 22 points and the Indiana Pacers staved off a furious fourth-quarter rally by Utah to beat the Jazz 105-101. Utah cut an eight-point deficit inside the final minute to one-point before falling short.
Trail Blazers 98, Lakers 94: Guard Damian Lillard scored 14 of his 39 points in the final six minutes as the Portland Trail Blazers rallied from a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit to down the Los Angeles Lakers 98-94.
Bulls 114, Rockets 105: Pau Gasol scored 27 points and Chicago outscored the Houston Rockets by 15 in the fourth quarter for a 114-105 victory as the Bulls won for the 10th time in 11 games.
