Warriors win 14th straight road game
CHICAGO — Klay Thompson scored 38 points, Stephen Curry added 30, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Chicago Bulls 119-112 on Wednesday night for their franchise record-tying 14th straight road win.
Kevin Durant had 19 points as Golden State moved into a tie for the third-longest road winning streak in a season in NBA history.
Nikola Mirotic scored 24 points for Chicago, which dropped to 14-8 since its 3-20 start. Robin Lopez scored 12 of his 16 points in the first half.
The Warriors played without Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala due to injuries, and Jordan Bell sprained his left ankle when he challenged Lopez’s dunk on the Bulls’ first possession. Bell stayed down for a while and then was helped to his feet. He tried to put pressure on his leg and grimaced before he opted for a wheelchair ride off the court.
The Bulls made a late charge, closing to 112-107 with 2:55 left, but Thompson made two foul shots with 17.4 seconds left to secure the win.
