Golden State Warriors Beat Oklahoma City Thunder for 44th Consecutive Home Win

Warriors' record through 60 games: 55-5.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr says resting players will take precedence over trying to break the NBA's single-season wins record, but his team is still a heavy favorite to reach 73 wins.

As Golden State is wont to do, the Warriors relied on sharpshooting, ball-sharing and some perfectly orchestrated pandemonium to slip past Oklahoma City.

Cousins had 22 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.

Regardless of how solid the Oklahoma City Thunder's standing in the Western Conference might be, their post-All-Star break struggles have Kevin Durant and company doing some soul searching. The normally efficient point guard was anything but on Thursday night, as he shot 8-for-24 from the field while only making one of his eight 3-pointers.

Curry rolled his ankle in a collision with Russell Westbrook and had to sit out the game against Atlanta (another overtime win).

Absolutely, the Warriors showed the poise and stability that they have with the small and speedy line up.

The win also capped a three-game, season-series sweep for the Warriors over the Thunder.

With teams like the defending champion Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies and Durant's hometown team Washington Wizards already being linked to Durant, even more teams are expected to chase the superstar, especially with the mentioned rise in salary cap for all National Basketball Association teams.

Leandro Barbosa scored on a layup in transition, and Andre Iguodala made it 93-85 after going coast-to-coast for the dunk off a steal.

"It's just one play at a time, lock in defensively", Livingston said.

Klay Thompson scored 21 for the Warriors, and Shaun Livingston provided 11 points, eight assists and tough defense on Durant off the bench.

Durant, who also found time for 10 rebounds and nine assists, committed nine turnovers.

Russ didn't seem interested in attacking the basket, jacking up eight threes and only connecting on one of them. "We're going to keep our heads up, all our guys are going to stay positive and keep working and learn from it", Durant said.

The Thunder were hitting their stride in the third quarter after Serge Ibaka drained a corner 3-pointer to put the Thunder up 80-71, but things drastically fell apart for OKC from that point on. The Chef was on his game as usual, dropping 33 points and all kinds of outrageous threes.

They will be looking to create some more magic in this third and final regular-season contest against the Thunder, however they might have to do so without their ultimate magician.

Golden State would have to do a lot of fancy footwork to clear sufficient salary cap space if they want to sign Durant, although it is certainly a possibility.

The next game's a massive game, the biggest game of the season, so we just try and win that one. They'll be so sick of defending practices they'll be sleeping and dreaming about it.
