OAKLAND, Calif.
Wholesale NHL Clothes . -- Another
spectacular passing performance earned Steve Kerrs postgame praise, yet there
was little else the coach liked about his heavy-legged, December-weary Warriors
after an exhausting road trip.Klay Thompson scored 25 points, JaVale McGee added
a season-best 17 and Golden State beat the undermanned New York Knicks 103-90 on
Thursday night.But at the end of an emotional day for the NBA, news of the death
of good friend and colorful sideline reporter Craig Sager made it hard for Kerr
and everybody else on the court to focus on basketball.Craigs death and the news
today far outweighs anything that happens in the gym, Kerr said.Kevin Durant had
15 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists, and Stephen Curry pulled down a
season-high 10 rebounds to go with eight points and eight assists against a New
York team missing stars Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose.We kept the ball moving
and made them chase the ball all night and got layups, Durant said. And we didnt
really shoot the ball that well.The Warriors had 36 assists on their initial 36
baskets -- 26 in the first half -- and all 11 players who appeared in the first
half scored in Golden States fifth straight win over New York. The Warriors
wound up with 41 assists and held a 57-49 rebounding advantage.Justin Holiday
had 15 points off the bench for the late-arriving Knicks, whose second bus was
delayed coming from San Francisco in a downpour.New York couldnt overcome a slow
start from the field, going 4 for 15 to fall behind in a hurry. The Knicks shot
40.9 percent overall and 5 for 21 from 3-point range.Theyre running in
transition, theyre throwing up 3s, theyre hitting open guys and playing fast,
Knicks guard Courtney Lee said. You can get caught up in that, and thats not our
style of game.Golden State had its third game this season with 40 or more
assists, the first team to do that since the Chicago Bulls in 1996-97. The
Warriors had a franchise-record 47 assists Nov. 23 against the Lakers.Thats the
beauty of our team -- we dont worry about the numbers, Thompson said. When we
move the ball, whoevers open, shoot the ball.TIP-INSKnicks: Anthony said he
bruised his shoulder diving for a ball against the Lakers on Sunday in Los
Angeles. Rose had a sore lower back. Both might need a couple more days of rest.
... New York, which hosts the Warriors on March 5, has been swept in the season
series the past two years and hasnt won a season series against Golden State
since 2000-01.Warriors: An MRI on C Zaza Pachulias injured right wrist showed a
bruise. He missed his fourth straight game. ... Golden State had more than 30
assists for the 19th time. ... F David West bruised his right hip early in the
fourth and didnt return. He will have an MRI on Friday. ... Curry sported
special Oakland Strong sneakers in tribute to the deadly Ghost Ship warehouse
fire Dec. 2 nearby in Oakland -- with the footwear featuring initials of the 36
lives lost. He posted a photo on Twitter of another colorful pair and has plans
to auction them both off to aid fire relief.SAGER STRONG, MOMENT OF JOYKerr --
wearing a colorful, Sager-inspired tie -- took the microphone before tipoff,
invited the Knicks to join Golden State and offered a heartfelt tribute to
Sager. Rather than a moment of silence, he said it was more fitting in Sagers
honor to hold a moment of joy.And the sellout crowd stood for a prolonged
ovation and extended applause.The beloved sideline reporter died from leukemia
at age 65.He was an amazing guy. The courage that he showed the last few years
was incredible in his fight, Kerr, the reigning NBA Coach of the Year, said of
his former TV colleague. Its just a tough day. ... He had a spirit and an energy
that very few people Ive ever met possess.RINGIN ITAt halftime, Durant, Draymond
Green and Thompson received their USA Basketball Olympic champion rings from
their winning run in Rio de Janeiro.UP NEXTKnicks: At Denver on Saturday looking
to snap an eight-game road losing streak to the Nuggets and a three-game skid
overall.Warriors: Host Portland on Saturday in a rematch of last seasons Western
Conference semifinal and seeking a fourth straight victory over the Trail
Blazers.
