What went down
The Golden State Warriors marched to their 18th win at the expense of the LA Clippers with Steph Curry going nuclear for 33 points. Another victory by the team with the best record in the league makes for a compelling matchup against the team with the the longest winning streak in the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.
As the West continues to get busy, the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks are quietly moving up the standings in the East. The Bucks' recent win over the Indiana Pacers extended their winning ways to seven games and improved them to 13-8 for the season.
Giannis Antetokounmpo might not be an early MVP favorite with Curry going off and Denver's Nikola Jokic still putting up impressive numbers. Nonetheless, last season's Finals MVP continues to be unstoppable especially after his line of 26 points and 13 rebounds versus the Pacers.
Big-time baller
Steph Curry had 33 points, seven triples, five rebounds, six assists, and six steals to lead the Warriors to their seventh straight victory. In case you missed it, the story of the game was how an enraged Curry used what he felt was injustice against him to light the Clippers on fire.
Early in the fourth quarter, an angry Curry argued for a no-call and was issued a technical foul. Curry then channeled his fury on the Clippers and unleashed his signature flurry. He burned the hoop with three straight 3s midway through the period to help the Warriors pull away. He scored 11 of his 33 points after the tech.
