The Golden State Warriors worked their third-quarter magic again, pulling away from the host Washington Wizards in the second half en route to a 109-101 victory Wednesday night.

The script flipped in the second quarter for the Wizards, who would go on a 17-6 run to take a 53-52 lead with 1:22 remaining in the first half.

Two years later, the Warriors are a better team, even if that's not reflected in their regular-season record. It's part of the reason why Steve Kerr let his players coach the team in a game against the Suns just prior to the All-Star break.

His performance came nearly a year after he suffered a sprained knee in the opening minutes of the Warriors' game against the Wizards in Washington, an injury that would sideline him for five weeks. "That's really it... It's not just me going to the White House". Looks like Curry managed to connect with a president after all, if only ethereally, in D.C. Curry missed 15 games, while both Durant and Draymond Green sat out eight games apiece.

Wizards: Otto Porter Jr. led Washington with 29 points and 10 rebounds. His first basket came with under 5-½ minutes left in the third quarter.

The first half was a tale of two quarters.

Ultimately, Beal's poor offensive night of eight points on 3-of-15 shooting and eight turnovers were tough to overcome, but the Wizards were never out of the game. The addition of Kevin Durant might give Golden State the greatest starting lineup of all time, and they've been just about impossible to beat in games that matter.

We also go through the top Warriors headlines of the week including Curry's comments about the Rockets confidence after going 13-0 in the month of February. "There are a lot of good candidates and some guys having great years, but Kevin is obviously going to be considered every single season".

Ever since then, the team has consistently said it wanted to do something small and private upon arriving in the nation's capital, and that they wanted it to involve kids. Klay Thompson only made three of his first nine shots, but hit two big shots in the fourth quarter. They are now +343 on the season in the third quarter against their opponents.

Curry posted a video on Instagram before tipoff describing his inspiration for wearing the shoes and showing them off.
