Warriors Further Winning Streak To 36 After Victory Vs. Heat

On Monday night, the Golden State Warriors put in their backups to start and still defeated the Miami Heat 111-103. This marked the 36th straight regular-season home victory for the Warriors, bringing their total season record to 36-2.

WARRIORS FURTHER WINNING STREAK TO 36 AFTER VICTORY VS. HEAT

Golden State led just 80-77 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and opened the quarter with the starters on the bench. “That’s a huge bonus for us,” Golden State’s Stephen Curry said to the media after the game of the bench propelling the Warriors to a 31-26 advantage in the fourth to end the game. “The starters, we played well, but didn’t sustain. They came in and took control of the game and got us to the finish line.”

Merely three games before the season’s midpoint, the Warriors are now exactly halfway to the 1996-97 Bulls’ record-setting streak of 72 wins.

Miami head coach Eric Spoelstra seemed beyond upset about his players’ performance on Monday night. “Every time you have a chance, if you make a mistake they really know how to capitalize,” Spoelstra told the media. “Our guys really played hard, did enough to give ourselves a chance. We couldn’t get over that hump to make it a possession game at the end.”
