Warriors continue breaking records on Martin Luther King Day

It is beginning to sound like a broken record. Make it another record broken at Oracle Arena.  With a 122-79 rout of Denver, the Warriors set the Oakland franchise record with 16 straight home victories. This rare matinee game played on Martin Luther King Day once again emphasized sharing and taking care of the ball and each other. A style of play that has Golden State at a league best 33-6. Just to prove the depth and character of this team, all 13 eligible Warrior players not only were on the court but scored and displayed suffocating defense.

As impressive as the defensive effort was the contribution offensively from the bench which  scored 67 points. The best part was watching the reactions from the starters who cheered them on. The entire arena went wild when the newest Warrior, James Michael McAdoo made his first basket. He finished with 11 points and five rebounds in a healthy 12 minutes. Klay Thompson vying to make his first All-Star game scored 22 points in just 23 minutes and his splash brother Stephen Curry added 20 in just 25 minutes hearing chants from the crowd for "MVP."
After the game, first year coach Steve Kerr once again praised his players' character.
"I'm not taking this for granted," said Kerr. "It's unique in the NBA to have a group that pulls for each other and that exhibits the unselfishness these guys shows every day. The total commitment for the team that every guy shows is really fun to watch."
For young McAdoo who received the game ball it is a day he'll never forget.
"With God anything is possible," said McAdoo. "I thank God, my teammates, the Warriors organization for this opportunity."
An opportunity on the day NBA players paid tribute to the Civil Rights leader.
"Dr. king just gave me hope," said Curry. "He made me believe you can achieve anything even going against all odds. His passion proved you can do it."
Someone who can achieve great things is McAdoo who has a chance to continue to prove himself  during his ten day contract.
"He's exactly what we thought he was," said Kerr. "We really like him. He's worked so hard and we think he has a real future with our team."
The future for this team looks very bright thanks to the ideals set forth by Dr. King's dream of equality. At this moment anything is possible for the Warriors.
"The momentum we've achieved throughout the season seems to be building," explained a proud Kerr. "And that comes from the quality of the character of this team."
The character of champions and leaders which is a joy to witness and continue to strive for. Happy Martin Luther King Day.
