The Golden State Warriors (44 - 4) destroyed the New York Knicks (23 - 27) on their own home court on Sunday, winning 116 - 95. For the Warriors, the win comes in the second half of a back - to - back following a near loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Coach Steve Kerr criticized the team heavily after the game, saying that he felt they were "fooling around" in the third quarter. All-Star forward Draymond Green accepted the blame for the team's season - low 35 points in the second half, admitting that he was chasing a triple - double. Ironically, Draymond secured his league - leading ninth triple - double of the season in the emphatic win over the Knicks. Green finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists while shooting a perfect 9 - for - 9 from the field. Golden State pulled away in the second quarter and never looked back, going on to outscore the Knicks 61 - 46 in the second half. The win is the Warriors' seventh in a row, and puts the team even closer to the 1995 - 96 Bulls' record of 72 wins. Reigning MVP Steph Curry, meanwhile, had an uncharacteristic poor shooting night. The point guard went just 5 - for - 17 from the field, while also hitting just 3 of 11 shots from behind the three - point arc. Curry also finished below his season averages in rebounds and assists, notching just four of each. Fellow "splash brother" Klay Thompson, however, took the reigns of the offense, leading the team with 34 points on 14 - for - 18 shooting and 5 - for - 6 from three - point territory. On the Knicks' end, however, shots simply could not fall. While superstar Carmelo Anthony poured in 24 points and shot a respectable 8 - for - 18, no other player scored more than 14 and the team shot just 37 percent on the night. Defensively, New York was able to force 18 turnovers; however, the team simply could not contest Golden State's red - hot perimeter shooters, as they allowed 58 percent of their opponents' shots to fall. The Knicks saw a 16 - 6 disadvantage in terms of three - pointers made, and shot 22 percent worse than their opponents from deep. The Knicks will visit the TD Garden on Tuesday night to take on their divisional rival, the Boston Celtics. Meanwhile, the Warriors visit the Washington Wizards on Wednesday before a marquee matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.
