NBA schedule and results: Steph Curry and Golden State put on a clinic

Instead, the emergence of the Pacers and Celtics have provided two stories worth watching. Indiana’s 13-6 since Hill’s return, using a 10-man rotation and a scorer-by-committee approach to dominate the East. The possibility of a Paul George return this season adds yet another wrinkle.

The Eastern Conference isn’t as good as the West, but it deserves better than to be the butt of your jokes. It has elite talent at the top and, now, an exciting playoff race with teams worth watching.

Considering Steph was doing this before the game, everyone should’ve realized that was coming.

Curry: 25 points, 11 assists. 6-10 on 3 pointers.

The Nets took a moment to share a shot of some of their season ticket holders on their Twitter account.

Wait a second, what’s that guy doing?

Oh, he stepped out of bounds, you say? It’s a lot closer than it looks at first glance.

Even if he did, who cares? They didn’t call it, so don’t be a Highlight Truther.

The game wasn’t a blowout throughout. The Clippers hung tight for a while -- J.J. Reddick had 15 points in the first two quarters to keep the Clippers in it. Parsons fired back for the Mavericks, though. He had 14 points in the first half and made all four of his three-point shots, and the Mavericks led 59-51 at the break.

With fewer than 20 games remaining, the race for playoff seeding is just heating up. If tonight’s win was any indication, the Mavericks are ready.
