Curry, Warriors improve to 47-4

OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry and the Golden State starters got a big boost from their bench.

Curry had 35 points, nine assists and six rebounds, and the Warriors put away the Houston Rockets in the fourth quarter of a 123-110 victory Tuesday night.

Even with a remarkable 47-4 record, Golden State is far from satisfied.

“We can definitely play better and just sustain our level of play and be more consistent over 48 minutes. It’s hard,” Curry said. “As long as you keep that at the forefront and challenge yourselves, that’s what hopefully inspires to continue to get better. It’s not going to be pretty every minute we’re out there, it’s not going to be perfect, we’re not going to blow everybody out. But we strive to be great every night.”

Andrew Bogut added 13 points, 11 rebounds, three steals and a season-high six blocked shots — three in the fourth — during one of his best games yet.

“Bogut was phenomenal,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who didn’t feel well after the game but was scheduled to fly with the team to Arizona. He took a leave of absence from Oct. 1 to Jan. 25 for complications following two back surgeries.

Andre Iguodala and Harrison Barnes hit consecutive 3-pointers to start the fourth quarter to get the defending champions going after the game was tied at 93 after the third.

Golden State won its 42nd straight regular-season home game and is 24-0 at Oracle Arena this season. The Warriors are within two home victories of matching the Chicago Bulls’ NBA-record home winning streak of 44 games from March 30, 1995 to April 4, 1996.

James Harden overcame a scoreless first quarter to finish with 37 points, five assists and five rebounds.
