Warriors record home win streak ends at 19

It was bound to happen. First year coach Steve Kerr kept saying, "you can't win them all." Tonight at Oracle Arena, the Warriors lost a heart breaker in overtime to Chicago 113-111 ending their record setting 19 straight home wins streak.  The Dubs are still the hottest team in the NBA at 36-7, but it's clear things get tougher without their starting center. Once again big man Andrew Bogut was out, this time with the flu. Even so, other players stepped up as they've done all season, and that is what truly makes this a championship caliber team. Yes, they lost, but they put themselves in the position to win.
"It wasn't a lack of effort, " said Kerr. "It was a great game. A fun game to be a part of. We felt we had it won a few times, we just couldn't close it."

In the end, it was a turnover and missed shot that made the difference. The missed runner in OT came from Klay Thompson who finished with a team-high 30 points along with a team high 10 rebounds.
"We had a good look for Klay," explained Kerr. "We always try to win. Our guys were a little worn out. It's just one of those games where the shots don't go in. We were scrapping and clawing. You can't win them all."
It's that effort that Coach Kerr is thrilled with, win or loose. Aside from Thompson, five other Warriors scored in double figures. David Lee lead all scorers off the bench with 24 points. Stephen Curry had 21, Harrison Barnes contributed 12 and Draymond Greena and Marreese Speights each
added 10.
Derrick Rose lead the Bulls with 32 points, none bigger than the last one with 6.4 second left to send the sell-out crowd home with their first loss since November 11th.
"Give them credit. They played well," said Lee. "It was a hard fought game between two really good teams. We fought hard."
 Next up, the Warriors travel to Salt Lake City Friday night.
