The Golden State Warriors (210) remained perfect on Saturday afternoon, edging the Toronto Raptors (12 - 9) 112 - 109. In a tussle for the ages, the Warriors survived yet another threat to their record undefeated streak. Within what was a memorable, back - and - forth affair, Kyle Lowry and Stephen Curry waged a one - on - one battle that saw the Raptors point guard match the reigning MVP basket - for - basket until the closing seconds, and outperform him in other areas of the stat sheet. Lowry managed a career - high 41 points, and added seven assists, three rebounds, four steals and a block. The ten - year veteran had a terrific fourth quarter overall, scoring 14 of his points during a nip - and - tuck final period, but missed a crucial free throw with 44 seconds left that would have knotted the game at 106. Toronto was unable to catch Golden State from that point forward, as the Warriors converted on six consecutive attempts from the charity stripe to seal their 21st victory. Curry led all scorers with 44 points, seven assists and two rebounds, equaling a season - best with nine three - pointers and posting his second straight 40 - point performance. He also drained six consecutive free throws in the final minute, including two with five seconds remaining that extended the Warriors' razor - thin lead to 112 - 109. Meanwhile, backcourt mate Klay Thompson, who sank two crucial free throws himself with seven seconds left, provided Curry with the support that DeRozan failed to offer to Lowry. Thompson managed a season - high 26 points, his third consecutive game with 20 points or better. Draymond Green was the other starting five member to get into double digits, pouring in 16 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Festus Ezeli, starting for Andrew Bogut, was only able to pitch in eight points, but did haul in 10 boards. Golden State improved to 210 and naturally remains in first place in the Western Conference's Pacific Division, along with sporting the best record in the NBA. They now head to Brooklyn for a Sunday showdown with the Nets. With just a tad more support for Lowry, the Raptors could have conceivably put an end to the Warriors' perfect record. DeMar DeRozan had a frustrating day from the field, sinking only five of 19 attempts. He totaled 16 points, five assists and three rebounds. Luis Scola was the only other member of the Toronto starting five who managed double - digit scoring (10 points), and he needed two free throws in the closing minute to get there. He added four rebounds and a pair of assists. DeMarre Carroll managed to pitch in nine points, six rebounds, an assist and a pair of steals, while Bismack Biyombo was held scoreless for the second time in the last five games, and could only add five rebounds over 14 minutes. Biyombo ran into foul trouble early on, allowing Lucas Nogeira to come off the bench and contribute 14 points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal over 25 minutes. Toronto fell to 12 - 9 and momentarily are in a first - place tie with Celtics in the Eastern Conference's Atlantic Division, with the outcome of Boston's contest versus San Antonio later on Saturday potentially affecting their position. They remain home to face the Lakers on Monday.
