James Harden and the Houston Rockets had win streaks of 17 14 and 11 games during the 2017-18 regular season
Klay Thompson scored six consecutive points early in the fourth quarter, two on free throws that resulted from a clear-path foul, helping the Golden State Warriors break away from the San Antonio Spurs en route to a 116-101 victory in Game 2 of the Western Conference first-round play-offs on Monday (April 16) night in Oakland, California. The Warriors destroyed the scoring differential, 69-45, to close out the game and take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series.
As Curry remains out likely for the entire series nursing a sprained left knee, the Warriors used all the offensive power they had to take both home games in the best-of-seven series.
It is not often an Andre Iguodala to JaVale McGee pass makes the highlights, but the two Warriors are feeling it in their series against the Spurs.
That helped the Warriors regain the lead in the third quarter, but the Spurs behind Aldridge fought back to retake the lead 67-66 with 4:44 left in the quarter.
Unlike Game 1, the Spurs came out with more intensity from the start and led, 25-23, after the first quarter.
Aldridge almost led the Spurs to an upset victory. Game 3 is at 8:30 p.m. CST on Thursday night. Aldridge also shot only 5 of 12 from the field. "That's the difference in the ball game". Though Warriors coach Steve Kerr outlined that as a priority, the Warriors committed 14 turnovers, including seven in the first quarter.

He didn't give a timescale for his return, saying only he is "fully motivated to get back soon to the field". Argentina's first match of the tournament is against Iceland on June 16.
"I thought the Spurs did a great job of countering the way we defended in Game 1 and they beat us on a lot of plays", Kerr said. Yet, those miscues were not as pronounced because of the Warriors' discipline elsewhere. Through two games, they've beaten the Spurs by an average margin of 18 points. And once the Warriors limited their blunders - just four second half turnovers - the Spurs had no shot at containing them.
"Well, it doesn't matter whether I make five in a row or miss five in a row", he added. Patty Mills contributed 21 points, three rebounds, and three assists.
Wade finished with 28 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes. Thompson went 11 of 13 from the field. Green logged a double double (12 points, 11 assists). McGee added 15 points and consistent defense on Aldridge.
Despite all of those varying developments, some central themes still remained prevalent.
Thompson rarely finds a shot he does not like. "He's not always going to make a shot, but he's always going to make a huge impact. Defensively, he's one of the best on ball guys in the league, so we are awfully blessed". The Warriors played hard enough in spurts, and their two elite scorers mattered more than the Spurs' one.
"No, because I don't listen to them to be be honest", he said after practice on Sunday, according to Drew Shiller of NBC Sports Bay Area. "I'm going to have the same mentality next time down the court - that's be aggressive, to make a good play". "If we come out and play with the force that we're capable of playing with, we'll be fine".
