Warriors’ home win streak ends
OAKLAND, Calif. — Isaiah Thomas scored 25 points, Kelly Olynyk added 17 points, five rebounds and five assists off the bench, and the Boston Celtics beat the sloppy Warriors 9986 on Wednesday, spoiling Golden State’s lone home game in a nearly three-week span.
NBA
Splash Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined to shoot 4-for-17 from 3-point range as Golden State struggled again without injured star Kevin Durant, who spoke before the game wearing a brace on his injured left knee and using crutches.
Curry had 23 points, five rebounds and six assists, and Thompson scored 25 points as the Warriors’ 10-game home win streak was snapped — nearly a year after Boston ended Golden State’s 54-game home win streak.
It was the Warriors’ first home loss against the Eastern Conference this season and fifth in all out of 26 overall matchups.
