Warriors handle Knicks easily for 50th straight home win

By: Eric He

The Golden State Warriors can make the extraordinary look mundane as they routed the Knicks 121-85 at Oracle Arena on Wednesday for their 50th consecutive home win and their 61st victory of the season.

Stephen Curry nailed eight 3-pointers and led the way with 34 points. He drained a couple of difficult 3s at the end of the third quarter that gave the Warriors a commanding 97-64 advantage heading into the fourth, allowing Curry to rest the entire fourth quarter.

The Knicks never threatened in the game as the Warriors recovered from a slow offensive start to take a 31-19 lead after one quarter and a 16-point lead into halftime.

The Warriors nearly doubled up on the Knicks in the third, outscoring them 35-18 to take command of the game.

Golden State shot 50.5 percent from the field and a blistering 48.6 percent from 3-point range while holding New York to sub-40 percent shooting. Curry outscored the entire Knicks starting five by himself.

Every Warrior played and scored in the lopsided contest as the team looks ahead to a tough back-to-back in Dallas and San Antonio on Friday and Saturday.
