So the Warriors need a win over, arguably, the best road team in the NBA ... who come in having won five straight on the road ... and who won by 36 last time in Chase

Kevin Harlan is the best!

“Someone threw something on the floor.”

“It’s a chicken wing.”

“Why would someone throw something that good out on the floor?”

“It’s crispy. It’s warm.”

Also, Denver’s win over Minnesota puts the Nuggets (which close at Spurs and at Grizzlies) in the driver’s seat for the top seed.

Increases the urgency for the Warriors to get out of the No. 9/No. 10 side of the play-in tournament

Suns win over the Bones Hyland Clippers means the Warriors can’t pass them.

Golden State’s hopes for the No. 8 seed now rest on Sacramento or New Orleans faltering. They face each other Thursday.

How Steph Curry’s 6-for-6 from 3 was evidence of how the Warriors could make the playoff run they believe they have in them

Curry finishes 6-for-6 from 3 — 2nd time ever he's made all 6 attempts in a game

Last time: Jan. 5, 2010, a 123-122 loss @ DEN. He was 10 of 13 for 26 pts

That same game:
Monta 32 on 14-for 29
Maggette 35 on 12-for 16 (11-12 FTs)

The days when going 6 of 6 didn't mean take 15

Curry is 5-for-5 from 3. Still, he's picking his spots and attacking the defense instead of heat-checking. An excellent all-around game from Curry

Curry didn't get an assist, but he got Chris Paul a wide-open 3 because the help wouldn't leave him. Paul had all day to line it up.

Curry returns for the final 9:58. He's got 17 points on 6 shots with 7 assists. A small flurry from him could put this away

Warriors are 15 of 22 from 3.

Draymond, Curry and Podz are 10-for-10 combined.

Should be concerning Warriors just up 11. Tough to keep up that kind of hot shooting. They'll have to turn up the defense or find offense inside the arc
