The Golden State Warriors (67 - 7) defeated the Washington Wizards (36 - 38) 102 - 94 at Oracle Arena on Tuesday. The Warriors continued to pursue perfection on their home court and keep the NBA record for most wins in the regular season alive and well after holding off the Wizards. A series of strong runs to end each of the second, third and fourth quarters made up for a motivated Washington team. John Wall and Bradley Beal had an fluid moving offense running in their favor just before the half, but the Warriors ripped off a 120 run in just three minutes to swing the momentum in their favor. The same result occurred in the second half, although the rush transition defense and hounding of Stephen Curry well beyond the three point line proved to be working more often than not. Curry still finished with a game high 26 points, to go with seven rebounds, seven assists and five steals on 9 - of - 20 shooting, including 6 - of - 8 from behind the arc. Klay Thompson cooled off after scoring 80 points over the last two contests, and added 16 points on 7 - of - 19 shooting. Draymond Green stuffed the box score and fell one assist shy of a triple - double, his numbers jumped off the page to the tune of 15 points, 16 rebounds, nine assists and two blocked shots. Wall had a difficult time shooting the ball, and only managed 8 points on 14 shots, but he did distribute well and completed 11 assists. Bradley Beal led all Wizards scorers with 17 points, while Marcin Gortat added nine points and 10 rebounds. The Wizards are on the outside looking into a playoff spot, but the loss has them trailing the Pacers by 4 games for the 8 - seed in the Eastern Conference. Both teams play the second game of a back - to - back on the road on Wednesday, with Wizards taking on the Sacramento Kings (29 - 45) and the Warriors visiting the Utah Jazz (37 - 37).
