The Golden State Warriors jumped ahead in the second quarter and never looked back in a 116-95 win over the Knicks on the road Sunday night.

Klay Thompson led the way with 34 points on 14-of-18 shooting, making up for a subpar evening for Stephen Curry who finished with just 13 points. Draymond Green posted another triple double, putting up 20 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists.

The Warriors trailed 20-18 after one quarter, getting off to a slow start, but outscored the Knicks 37-29 in the second to take control with a 55-49 halftime advantage.

They pulled away in the third, holding the Knicks to just 16 points. The Warriors opened the second half on a 7-0 run, and a jumper by Thompson put Golden State ahead 62-49. Entering the fourth with an 82-65 advantage, the Warriors did not falter in the fourth quarter like in Philadelphia; rather, they kept their foot on the gas pedal put the game away for good.

The Knicks cut the deficit to 13 midway through the fourth, but a three by Curry squashed any hopes of a comeback.

The Warriors advance to 44-4 and 22-4 on the road.

“They’re a championship-level team and that’s what they did tonight,” Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis told ESPN. Next up, the Warriors will head to the nation’s capital to play the Wizards on Wednesday night to wrap up a three-game road trip. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN.
