The Golden State Warriors demolished the hapless New York Knicks last night as Stephen Curry recorded a triple-double once again in only three quarters of play.
Here are some sights and sounds from Madison Square Garden, also known as “MSG”.
PRE-GAME AND IN-GAME
View from MSG pregame. The Warriors got out to a hot start and led 28-19 through the first nine minutes of the game. Curry already had 9 points and 4 assists, but Andrew Bogut got in foul trouble early with 3 personals and did not play the rest of the first half.
At the end of the first quarter, it was Warriors 38, Knicks 27. Curry had 12 points, 5 assists. By 4:57 of the second quarter, the Warriors were up 58-46.
By halftime, Curry had 20 points, 7 assists, and the Warriors were up big. Also, what it felt like to be courtside at MSG.
During one of the first half timeouts, MSG played a highlight reel of Warriors head coach Mark Jackson, who began his career in New York. At halftime, Curry was interviewed by sideline reporter Chris Broussard.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were up 99-80. Curry had already recorded his triple-double and Klay Thompson would also finish his night with 25 points.
A chorus of "boo's" reign down on the Knicks. I don't think I've heard boo's that loud since Mullin's jersey retirement
