The Golden State Warriors (57 - 13) defeated the Washington Wizards (40 - 31) 107 - 76 on Monday at Oracle Arena in Oakland. This game looked like it was going to be a close one when the Warriors were up just two points at the half. They came out firing in the third quarter though, out - scoring the Wizards 29 - 8, which allowed them to eventually coast to the convincing 31 - point victory in front of their home crowd. With the win, the Warriors extended their Western Conference lead to seven and a half games over the Memphis Grizzlies, while the Wizards sit in the fifth projected playoff seed in the East, five and a half games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks. Stephen Curry had himself a night, going 8 - for - 14 from the field and 5 - for - 8 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 24 points, while also adding five rebounds and six assists in just 28 minutes. His numbers could have been a lot higher, but he did n't have to play as much due to blowout. Curry has combined to shoot 8 - for - 14 from the three - point line over his last two games, helping him score 48 points over that span as well. He's now averaging 23 points and 8 assists per game on the season. Marreese Speights also played a factor in the win. He played just 14 minutes off the bench, but finished with an efficient 16 points (6 - 9 FG, 4 - 4 FT) and five rebounds. Draymond Green also chipped in with 13 points (5 - 11 FG, 3 - 8 3Pt, 0 - 2 FT) and six rebounds. With all the starters playing less than 30 minutes, the bench got a ton of extra time, as a total of 13 players ended up playing at least nine minutes on Monday. The Wizards really struggled to get anything going. Their starting frontcourt was miserable, as Marcin Gortat, Nene Hilario and Paul Pierce combined for just 18 points between the three. John Wall and Bradley Beal were the only starters in double figures. Wall posted 11 points (4 - 16 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT), five rebounds and five assists, while Beal had 12 points (4 - 11 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 2 - 3 FT) and two rebounds. Wall looks to be struggling lately, combining to go just 7 - for - 26 from the floor and 1 - for - 6 from the three - point line over his last two games. He'll need to play much better than that if the Wizards want to make some noise in the playoffs. Ramon Sessions and Kevin Seraphin both reached double figures off the bench with 12 points apiece. The Warriors' next game will be on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, while the Wizards will be at home against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.
