*Via Elias: “The Nets thwarted the Warriors’ attempt to become the first team in NBA history two win every game of a roadtrip of seven of more games. Stephen Curry led all scorers with 34 points in Golden State’s loss. It was the most points for any player in a game against Brooklyn this season, topping Kemba Walker’s 31-point performance versus the Nets at Charlotte on November 20. The Nets entered Wednesday’s game with the NBA’s longest current streak of consecutive games without allowing an opposing player to score 30 or more points (23 games between Walker and Curry), a distinction that now belongs to the Warriors (16 straight games).”

*The Celtics have at least 10 offensive rebounds in 5 consecutive games for the first time since 2009 (10 straight games from December 10 to 30, 2009).
