Warriors improve to 21-0 behind 44 points from Stephen Curry
Golden State wins on the road without two starters, because they are by the very definition of the word, unstoppable.
The Golden State Warriors, on an East Coast road trip, on an early start, in Toronto, without two starters (Harrison Barnes, Andrew Bogut) due to injuries, didn't play all that well as a team Saturday and still advanced to 21-0 in a 112-109 victory over the Raptors thanks to 44 points from Stephen Curry including this ridiculous pull-up 3-pointer.

The Warriors didn't really play all that well and still led for most of the game. Kyle Lowry was great for the Raptors, but DeMar DeRozan (5-of-19 from the field) really struggled. Down the stretch both Lowry and DeRozan missed key free throws which opened up the Warriors with a chance to hold the lead on free throws, which they are nearly unbeatable in that situation.
The Warriors' next real challenge is Tuesday vs. the Pacers. Other than that, there's not a serious opponent that's in their class (if anyone is) between the Pacers and the Warriors' meeting with the Cavs on Christmas Day.
The Warriors' bench only provided 15 points, but with Curry and Klay Thompson combining for 65 points on 39 shots, Toronto just didn't have enough firepower. The Warriors even got a tough whistle and still came out on top.
Good teams find a way to win when things don't go right. The Warriors are definitely a great team. The party rolls on.
