Warriors demolish Wizards for 6th straight win

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

The Golden State Warriors can't be stopped. Especially not at home. 

Stephen Curry scored a game-high 24 points to help Golden State extend its winning streak to six games in a 107-76 rout of the Washington Wizards on Monday. The win was the Warriors' 11th consecutive at home, improving the NBA's best team to 34-2 at Oracle Arena on the season. 

Golden State wrapped up its homestand with a 6-0 mark. It became the first team in NBA history to go 6-0 or better on two different homestands in the same season. 

A dominating third quarter proved to be the difference in this one, and helped the Warriors move to a perfect 38-0 when holding opponents under 100 points.

Washington scored eight points and shot 1-of-18 in the quarter, numbers that look even uglier in chart form.  

The eight points is the fewest the Warriors have held an opponent to in a quarter since 2003, and the second time this season an opposing team has managed to score only one basket off it in a single period. 

Things got so out of hand, Justin Holiday threw down an in-game 360 dunk

Golden State, at 57-13, is two wins shy of matching the all-time single-season franchise mark of 59 set during the 1975-76 season. 

Sharpshooter Klay Thompson returned from a three-game absence for a sprained ankle and scored eight points to help send the Wizards to their third consecutive loss.

The up-and-down Wizards fell 2.5 games back of the Chicago Bulls for fourth place and homecourt in the first round of the playoffs. They've followed up a five-game winning streak by dropping three in a row, which has pretty much been par for the course for the talented, yet maddeningly inconsistent, team.

Curry added six assists, five rebounds and five 3-pointers in the win, getting the best of All-Star point guard John Wall, who scored 12 points on 4-of-16 shooting. 

Golden State will look to make it seven in a row on the second night of a back-to-back Tuesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers.
