Golden State defeats Utah, extends NBA record home winning streak to 46
OAKLAND, Calif. — Steve Kerr admired the exit almost as much as the half-court buzzer beater that Stephen Curry is so perfecting this season.
Curry made a zippy crossover to shed his defender then banked in a 55-footer at the halftime buzzer, and the Golden State Warriors extended their record regular-season home winning streak to 46 by beating the Utah Jazz 115-94 on Wednesday night.
The reigning MVP let it fly from beyond midcourt for yet another jaw-dropping 3 and a 52-41 lead at the break, taking off in an all-out sprint for the tunnel without celebrating as his teammates collectively threw their arms in the air in admiration and awe.
“It was a great exit. That was fantastic,” Kerr said. “It was like when Bo Jackson ran out of the stadium. I’m glad he came back for the second half. When he shoots it, you know it has a chance. It’s incredible. I’ve never seen anybody that accurate from midcourt. It always looks good, even the ones that miss. He gives it a chance every time.”
