Game Notes:

  • Warriors Center Festus Ezeli was suspended one game for his altercation with Toronto Raptors forward Tyler Hansbrough and will miss tonight’s game, according to Rusty Simmons of the SF Chronicle
  • Celtics leading scorer and rebounder Jared Sullinger suffered a stress fracture in his left foot and is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to Chris Forsberg of ESPN
  • Steph Curry has hit a 3-pointer in 64 straight road games, the third longest streak in NBA history and tied with Kyle Korver for the longest by any active player, according to @GSWStats
  • Boston is 7-3 in it’s last 10 games, thanks to a revamped bench that got an extra punch at the trade deadline. Forsberg breaks down the Celtics’ additions of Isaiah Thomas, Jonas Jerebko, and Jae Crowder, who have all posted 20+ scoring nights in Boston’s last 4 games
