Updating 2 more games

I am updating 2 games because I forgot I didn’t post for the Seattle game from Monday afternoon. On Monday afternoon (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) the Warriors beat the Seattle Supersonics 109-93. The Warriors had three players scoring 20+ points; Jason Richardson (26), Baron Davis (25), and Mike Dunleavy Jr. (22). Mickael Pietrus also scored 19 points in 15 minutes for the Warriors. Along with the 25 points scored by Baron Davis he also added 10 assists and 9 rebounds. One rebound shy of having 2 straight triple-doubles. The last Warrior to do that was Wilt Chamberlain over 40 years ago. This was a good game for the Warriors to build on and create some momentum because the Warriors dominated this game and had a much bigger lead then the final score. The bad thing that game out of this game was that Baron took a little bit of a shot at Luke Ridnour and we found out yesterday that he was suspended for the game tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In my opinion it didn’t look like that bad a foul, but the league is trying to make sure that stuff like that doesn’t happen. This was a long shot for the Sonics to win anyway because their best player Ray Allen was finishing the last game of a 3 game suspension that he got for fighting with another player.


Tonight the Warriors had a strong victory over Cleveland Cavaliers winning 99-79. Jason Richardson and Mike Dunleavy both scored 22 points to lead the Warriors and they got good play out of Derek Fisher (17 points, 9 assists, 6 steals and 5 rebounds) taking Baron Davis’ starting spot during the suspension. The more important part of this game was that Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy and Mickael Pietrus shut down Lebron James allowing him to only score 14 points on 5 of 22 shooting. That is the kind of performance the Warriors need against star players.

This game got the Warriors back to a .500 record at 19-19. The Warriors now play back-to-back games against the Clippers on Sunday and Monday. The Warriors need to win those games to help their playoff chances.
