The Warriors picked up the win in their final regular-season game at Oracle Arena.
Kevin Durant added 16 points and seven assists, making six of seven field goals, as the Warriors players opted to honour the past by sporting throwback white "We Believe" jerseys worn during the 2007 playoff run that snapped a 12-year post-season drought.
"Let me just say that for 47 years, Warriors fans have stuck with us through thick and thin," coach Steve Kerr told fans moments after the final buzzer, also thanking the arena staff. "Let’s be honest, most of those years have been a little thin." Draymond Green just missed a triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in Golden State’s seventh win over the last eight games and fifth in a row at home. DeMarcus Cousins contributed 12 points, nine boards and four assists playing with foul trouble.
"Are they not going to make the playoffs?" Clippers coach Doc Rivers quipped. "I hope they don’t make it. That would be phenomenal. I’m just saying, it would be."Golden State made 10 of its first 13 shots — Durant hitting his initial four and Curry starting 3 for 3. Curry wound up just 3 for 10 from deep.The Warriors played their 1,936th regular-season game at Oracle, where the first game was held on Oct. 24, 1967, against Cincinnati.
