Klay Thompson and Draymond Green lead Golden State to seventh straight win and a 44-4 record

Klay Thompson woke Golden State from its slowest start of the season with 17 of his 34 points in the second quarter, Draymond Green tied Tom Gola’s franchise record with his ninth triple-double of the season, and the Warriors beat the New York Knicks, 116-95, Sunday night in New York for their seventh straight victory.

Green made all nine of his shots as the Warriors (44-4) wrapped up January at 40 games over .500 even with a quiet 13 points from Stephen Curry. Green finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Warriors, who were held to a season-low 18 points in the first quarter.

They charged back with 64 over the middle two quarters — the Knicks had only 65 total through three — and appeared back to normal after a sluggish effort Saturday in Philadelphia.

Atlanta has lost three straight.

at Portland 96, Minnesota 93: C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard scored 21 points apiece, and the Trail Blazers handed the Timberwolves their 11th straight road loss. Portland extended its winning streak to four and improved to 3-0 against Minnesota this season.
