NBA roundup: Warriors rout Nets, move to 22-0[/B]


NEW YORK -- Stephen Curry scored 11 of his 28 points in the final 2:10 of the third quarter, and the Golden State Warriors stayed unbeaten with a 114-98 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.


Klay Thompson added 21 points and combined with Curry to shoot 19-for-35 overall and 8-for-19 from 3-point range for the Warriors (22-0). Forward Draymond Green finished with 22 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.


The Warriors won their 26th consecutive regular-season game dating to April 9 and improved to 12-0 on the road. They outran the Nets at the start and at the finish, but in between little was easy.


Thaddeus Young scored 25 points and Brook Lopez added 18 for Brooklyn, which lost by eight in overtime on Nov. 14 in Golden State after Lopez missed a potential game-winner in regulation.


Grizzlies 95, Suns 93


MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Jeff Green's alley-oop dunk off an inbounds pass from Courtney Lee with eight-tenths of a second left lifted Memphis past Phoenix.


Green's game-winning dunk over former teammate Jon Leuer came after the Suns had a chance to win the game with 2.1 seconds left and the game tied at 93. Brandon Knight turned the ball over with eight-tenths of a second left, setting up Green's final heroics.


Green, who finished with 10 points, was one of six Grizzlies to score in double figures. Center Marc Gasol led the team with 22 points. Eric Bledsoe paced the Suns with 23 points.


Thunder 98, Kings 95


OKLAHOMA CITY -- Russell Westbrook collected his third triple-double of the season, leading Oklahoma City past Sacramento.


Westbrook scored 19 points to go along with 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Kevin Durant added 20 points, 10 rebounds and four assists.


Rudy Gay led the Kings with 20 points on 8-of-18 shooting. Demarcus Cousins added 13 points and 10 rebounds. Marco Belinelli and Darren Collison each came off the bench to score 16 in the defeat.


Pistons 111, Lakers 91


AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a season-high 22 points, and Detroit scored the game's first 15 points and cruised to its fourth consecutive victory.


The shooting guard also had four rebounds and four steals while notching his third 20-point game of the season. Reggie Jackson added 20 points and six assists, Andre Drummond delivered his NBA-high 19th double-double with 18 points and 15 rebounds.


Lou Williams led the Lakers with 21 points. Kobe Bryant missed his first nine field-goal attempts and finished with five points on 2-of-15 shooting in 26 minutes. Bryant was questionable to play because of an illness.


Mavericks 116, Wizards 104


WASHINGTON -- Wesley Matthews tied his career high with 36 points and made 10 3-pointers, and Dallas continued its dominance over Washington.


Dirk Nowitzki added 19 points for the Mavericks, who won their 11th consecutive matchup with the Wizards.


John Wall had 28 points, 10 assists and five steals for the Wizards. The point guard left the game and needed help getting to the locker room with an apparent right leg injury after a collision with Dallas' Jeremy Evans with 1:14 remaining.

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack


Six of the more interesting NFL games in Week 14


-- Vikings @ Arizona (-7)-- Interesting Thursday game in the desert.


-- Bills @ Philadelphia (-1)-- LeSean McCoy visits his old friends.


-- Falcons @ Carolina (-7.5)-- These teams play twice in next three weeks.


-- Saints @ Tampa Bay (-4)-- Buccaneers heading towards the playoffs.


-- Patriots (-3.5) @ Houston-- New England visits their old QB coach.


-- Cowboys @ Green Bay (-8.5)-- 3:25 local time kickoff on frozen tundra.


**********


Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.......


13) Steve Sarkisian is suing USC for wrongful termination; he is asking for a lot of money. He got fired for showing up drunk- he might even have coached a game or two under the influence. Takes a lot of onions to sue your employer after that happens.


12) Dodgers signed pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma as a free-agent; Seattle then filled that hole by acquiring Wade Miley from Boston. Iwakuma is good if he is healthy.


11) Speaking of the Dodgers, Peter Gammons wrote last week that new manager Dave Roberts wasn't allowed to pick any of his coaches-- very unusual. Why would you hire a guy who has never managed, then not let him pick any of his coaches?


10) Saints ran a blocked PAT back for two points Sunday, first time that happened in an NFL game-- rule has been in college for lot longer. Counting that block, there were nine PATs missed this week- there were eight missed all of last year.


9) UMass-Lowell 68, Boston College 66-- If you're in same league as Louisville, Duke, North Carolina and Virginia, and you lose to Mass-Lowell, its going to be a very long winter. Some BC players apparently got food poisoning at a Chipotle, too- they didn't practice on Monday.


8) When Austin Davis started for Cleveland Sunday, he became their 24th starting QB since 1999. If you own the Browns, just hire a coach, keep him there for a few years, give him a chance. Without continuity, it is hard to develop a good program.


7) Oklahoma 78, Villanova 55-- This game was played in a neat old arena on Pearl Harbor; no air conditioning, seats close to the court. It really did look like a summer league game. Both of these teams should be high seeds in March, but this was really a surprisingly easy win for Oklahoma.


6) Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House from 2007-11; she is obviously a very influential politician. About ten years ago, her husband was an investor in an ill-fated football league, the UFL. Apparently he and others lost tens of millions on the deal. I'm reading s book about a guy who coached in that league- must be nice to be rich.


5) In Matt Schaub's last nine starts, he's thrown six pick-6's; no bueno.


4) Indianapolis Colts fired OC Pep Hamilton earlier this year, replaced him with Rob Chudzinski. Problem is, Chudzinski doesn't know the language of Indy's offense, so when he calls plays, it has to go thru a third party so the QB gets the right terminology called in to the quarterback's helmet.


Wouldn't it be easier to let Matt Hasselbeck call his own plays? He's started 157 NFL games, he has to be able to call his own game. QBs called the plays in the old days-- it is not always progress when you change things.


3) Last four years, Big 14 teams have played in 33 bowl games; they've been the underdog in 27 of those 33 games, going 13-20 SU.


2) Under-reported sports story of the year: Remember Michigan State's miracle TD on last play of the game to beat Michigan? Well, when the Michigan State players ran on the field to celebrate, so many of them jumped on the pile that the kid who scored the TD dislocated his hip and is out for the year, may never play again.


1) Cowboys 19, Redskins 16-- Three NFC East teams are 5-7; they're all tied for first place, with Dallas at 4-8. You win your division, you get a home game in the playoffs; it is almost guaranteed that the #5 seed will be a hefty road favorite over the NFC East champ in the first round of the playoffs.

Game of the Day: Warriors at Pacers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Warriors are just 2-12 ATS in the last 14 meetings with the Pacers in Indiana.

Golden State Warriors at Indiana Pacers (+5.5, 215)

The Golden State Warriors are on the verge of matching the second-longest winning streak in NBA history but may be looking at their biggest challenge. The Warriors will try to make it 27 straight wins dating back to last season when they visit the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday.

Golden State improved to 4-0 on its seven-game road trip with a 114-98 win at Brooklyn on Sunday after escaping Toronto with a three-point triumph the previous night, and Stephen Curry continues to put on a show. The reigning MVP is averaging 34.5 points and is 26-of-43 from 3-point range over the first four games of the trip, with a pair of 40-point performances thrown in. The Pacers have their own superstar in Paul George, who bounced back from a lackluster performance in Portland by pouring in a career-high 48 points in a 122-119 setback at Utah on Saturday that closed out a 2-2 road trip. Indiana recovered from a 17-point deficit to force overtime before falling to the Jazz and are 1-2 in December after an 11-2 November.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBATV, CSN Bay Area (Golden State), FSN Indiana

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Warriors as 5.5-point road faves and the total at 213.

INJURY REPORT:

Warriors - SF Harrison Barnes (Mid December, ankle), Kevon Looney (Late January, hip).

Pacers - PF Myles Turner (Late December, hand).

POWER RANKINGS: Warriors (-16.5) + Pacers (-11.3) + home court (-3.0) = Warriors -2.2

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "The Warriors are 22-0 SU this season and they will now face their toughest test in the past ten games. This is the smallest Golden State has been favored since they played at the Clippers on November 19th. The Warriors have won four straight games on this current 7-game road trip, but no team in NBA history has ever gone a perfect 7-0 SU on a seven-game road swing. The Pacers have a 32% chance to win this game straight-up according to the betting odds, which means the Warriors have a 68% chance of improving to 23-0 SU."

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (22-0 SU, 15-7 ATS, 13-9 O/U): Curry scored 16 of his 28 point during a third-quarter barrage on Sunday and picks his spots to dominate in nearly every game. “Steph knows he’s going to be on the court for most of the game, and he’s going to have the ball in his hands for most of the game,” interim coach Luke Walton told reporters. “He can pick and choose when he wants to get aggressive and take over and when he wants to get his teammates involved. That’s his call out there, and he does a great job judging when to do both.” Curry gets plenty of help from a deep roster and Draymond Green collected 22 points, nine rebounds and seven assists on Sunday in his latest flirtation with a triple-double.

ABOUT THE PACERS (12-7 SU, 12-7 ATS, 10-9 O/U): George had his worst game of the season at Portland on Thursday with 11 points on 4-of-17 shooting but went 15-of-27 from the floor, including 8-of-11 from 3-point range, at Utah. "It was just one of those games,” Indiana coach Frank Vogel, brushing off George’s tough game, told reporters of his star’s turnaround. “Stay aggressive, stay relentless in his attack of the basket and keep playing his pull-up game and catch-and-shoot.” The Pacers have not lost in their own building since Oct. 31 and will play five of their next six at home.

TRENDS:

* Warriors are 2-12 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Indiana.
* Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Indiana.
* Warriors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
* Pacers are 11-0 ATS in their last 11 games playing on two days rest.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-nine percent of users are backing the Warriors.

NBA roundup: Suns beat Bulls on last-second fade away


CHICAGO -- Mirza Teletovic grabbed an offensive rebound and hit a fade-away shot with 0.3 seconds remaining, leading the Phoenix Suns to a 103-101 comeback win against the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.


Teletovic's rebound was off an open 3-pointer taken by Jon Leuer from the corner with two seconds left, after the Suns battled back from a 16-point deficit to tie the game.


Chicago led 77-61 starting the fourth quarter but coughed up the advantage. They were outscored 25-11 in the first seven minutes of the fourth and 42-24 overall in the frame, letting Phoenix cap a tough six-game road trip by ending a four-game losing streak.


Raptors 102, Lakers 93


TORONTO -- Kyle Lowry compiled 27 points, seven rebounds and six assists, and Toronto was strong down the stretch to defeat Los Angeles.


Terrence Ross added 22 points -- including nine in the fourth quarter -- for the Raptors, who lost their previous two games.


Kobe Bryant scored 21 points and had eight rebounds.


Mavericks 104, Knicks 97


NEW YORK -- In a contest billed as the best European player in the history of the league against the upstart Latvian rookie, it was Dallas that overtook the New York.


The 7-foot-3 Kristeps Porzingis, playing against his childhood idol from Germany, led the Knicks with 28 points, one point shy of his brief career high. He single-handedly brought New York back from a 98-81 deficit with 5:52 to play by scoring eight straight points to slice the deficit to 101-97 with 43 seconds to play.


Dirk Nowitzki and Deron Williams closed it out by making two free throws apiece. Nowitzki topped Dallas with 25 points and six rebounds. Williams poured in 20 points and added seven assists.


Spurs 119, 76ers 68


PHILADELPHIA -- LaMarcus Aldridge scored a season-high 26 points as San Antonio embarrassed woeful Philadelphia Monday night.


The Spurs rested Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, and Kawhi Leonard did not play because of illness. San Antonio nonetheless shot a season-high 61.8 percent from the floor, and recorded 32 assists on a season-high-tying 46 field goals.


Aldridge, who made 11 of 15 shots from the floor, also grabbed nine rebounds. Tony Parker collected 12 points while playing only the first half for the Spurs, who improved to 18-4 with their eighth victory in nine games.


Celtics 111, Pelicans 93


NEW ORLEANS -- Isaiah Thomas scored a game-high 22 points, including all four of his 3-point attempts, and the stifling Boston defense held New Orleans' five starters to just 25 points.


The Celtics led 53-44 at halftime, extended their lead to 81-67 at the end of three quarters and led by as many as 22 in the fourth quarter. The victory gave the Celtics a 3-2 record on their five-game road trip.


Kelly Olynyk had season-high 21 points and Jae Crowder added 17 for the Celtics, who held the Pelicans to 41.1 percent shooting.


Hornets 104, Pistons 84


CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Cody Zeller led a balanced attack with 20 points, and Charlotte cruised to an easy win.


The Hornets won for the seventh time in their last nine games and raised their record at home to 9-3.


They took control early and led by as many as 14 in the first half, then pushed the lead up to as many as 26 in the third quarter. They held Detroit to 36.8 percent shooting from the field and held a whopping 57-41 rebound advantage.

Wizards 114, Heat 103


MIAMI -- Bradley Beal had a key steal and dunk to lead Washington past Miami.


Beal, who had 21 points, stripped Dwyane Wade of the ball at midcourt and then beat him down the court, slamming the ball to punctuate the play that snapped a 103-103 tie.


Washington overcame productive games by the Heat's backcourt -- Wade had 26 points and nine assists, and Goran Dragic had 20 points and nine assists.


Bucks 90, Blazers 88


MILWAUKEE -- John Henson blocked Meyers Leonard's shot at a possible game-winner giving Milwaukee the win.


Henson's final stand capped off a furious rally for the Bucks, who watched a 14-point lead disappear in the second half and fell behind by six late in the final quarter.


Forward Giannis Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 17 points while Greg Monroe added 16 with 12 rebounds.


Clippers 110, Timberwolves 106


MINNEAPOLIS -- DeAndre Jordan scored a team-high 20 points, leading Los Angeles Clippers past Minnesota.


The game featured 15 lead changes, including several in the fourth quarter. Forward Blake Griffin's lay-in with 25.5 seconds left gave the Clippers the lead for good.


The loss was Minnesota's fourth consecutive.
