OAKLAND, California — Klay Thompson scored 25 points, JaVale McGee added a season-best 17, and the Golden State Warriors put on an another spectacular passing display to beat the undermanned New York Knicks 103-90 on Thursday night (Friday in Manila).

Kevin Durant had 15 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists and Stephen Curry pulled down a season-high 10 rebounds to go with eight points and eight assists facing a New York team missing stars Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose.

The Warriors had 36 assists on their initial 36 baskets — all 26 in the first half — and all 11 players who appeared in the first half scored in Golden State's fifth straight win against New York. The Warriors wound up with 41 assists and held a 57-49 rebounding advantage.

Justin Holiday had 15 points off the bench for the late-arriving Knicks, whose second bus was delayed coming from San Francisco in a downpour.

And New York couldn't overcome a slow start from the field, going 4 for 15 to fall behind in a hurry, shooting 40.9 percent and just 5 for 20 from 3-point range.

Golden State notched its third game with 40 or more assists, the first team with three 40-assist games since the Chicago Bulls in 1996-97. The Warriors had a franchise-record 47 assists Nov. 23 against the Lakers.

SAGER STRONG, "MOMENT OF JOY"

Warriors coach Steve Kerr — wearing a colorful, Craig Sager-inspired tie — took the microphone before tipoff, invited the Knicks side to join Golden State and offered a heartfelt tribute to Craig Sager, then rather than a moment of silence said it was more fitting in Sager's honor to hold "a moment of joy."

And the sellout crowd stood for a prolonged ovation and extended applause.

The beloved sideline reporter died from leukemia at age 65.

"He was an amazing guy. The courage that he showed the last few years was incredible in his fight," reigning NBA Coach of the Year Kerr said of his former TV colleague. "It's just a tough day. ... He had a spirit and an energy that very few people I've ever met possess."
