Warriors get win No. 69

OAKLAND, Calif. — The pain of a rare home loss disappeared quickly for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Just like the other seven defeats this season, it was followed with yet another win.

Curry scored 39 points and the Warriors bounced back from their first regular-season home loss in more than 14 months by beating the Portland Trail Blazers 136-111 on Sunday night to tie the mark for the second-most wins in a season.

“That negative energy of overanalyzing situations or even mild panic is not necessary right now,” Curry said. “We’ve got a pretty good focus as a unit of how we can bounce back from losses and just stay true to who we are.”

Draymond Green added 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his 13th triple-double, and Klay Thompson scored 21 for the Warriors, who matched the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls and 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers with 69 wins. Golden State needs to win four of its final five games to break the record of 72 victories set by Chicago in 1995-96.

That chase was dealt a setback Friday when Boston snapped Golden State’s record 54-game regular-season home winning streak. But after falling behind by 11 points early, the Warriors found their groove and improved to 8-0 following losses this season, outscoring the opposition by 15 points a contest. No team has ever gone an entire season without losing back-to-back games.

“I really liked the focus and just how sharp we were compared to the other night,” coach Steve Kerr said.
