Warriors team play leads to 30th win in just 35 games

It's exactly what first year coach Steve Kerr has been preaching since arriving in Oakland: "Ball movement, defense and taking care of the ball." Lead by Stephen Curry's 27 points and 11 assists, Golden State beat Utah 116-105 in Salt Lake City. Make it seven wins in a row for the NBA's best team as Kerr becomes the first rookie coach to win 30 of his first 35 games.
In what has become his generous style, Kerr gave all the credit to his players, with a special mention for his All-Star point guard.
"He's been amazing," said Kerr. "He's found the perfect balance between attacking and pulling out, being smart, and being solid. We had 10 turnovers for the entire game." An impressive statistic considering the Warriors recorded 33 assists, all part of the Kerr plan. The Jazz played exceptionally well in the first half and the game was tied at 53 making for some nervous moments. But in the third quarter, Curry and company put on a clinic scoring a season high 44 points with just one turnover.
"That's everything to me,"explained Kerr. "I pound these guys over the head with talk of ball movement and the simple pass and it doesn't get much better than that third quarter."
It truly is something to behold, the chemistry and rhythm as this team perfects the complete game showcasing the very best of sports. They are out on the hard court smiling, cheering for each other and celebrating their success as one.
"Everyone is contributing, that's the big part about it," said Curry. "11 guys played tonight and no one played more than 30 minutes. You have to enjoy the game. It's a long season."
Five other Warriors scored in double figures, Draymon Green with 15, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes each added 12 and coming off the bench, Marreese Speights and David Lee had 10 points each. But even more impressive is how every single Warrior is making his mark on this record setting season. Andrew Bogut returned to the starting lineup and was brilliant with fierce defense and razor sharp passes. And the depth of the bench is highlighted by the superb play of Andre Iguadola, Leandro Barbosa and Justin Holiday, who saw extended minutes tonight. .
"I want to reward players for their work ethic, their attitude and their approach," said Kerr.
And his players are returning the favor, listening and executing which has them winning and enjoying every minute of it. Next up, the Miami Heat back at Oracle Arena tomorrow night.
