Warriors notch 14th in row behind Thompson-Curry duo

CHICAGO – When the Splash Brothers are making their shots, even Kevin Durant is content with a supporting role.

Such is life for the Golden State Warriors.

Klay Thompson scored 38 points, Stephen Curry added 30 and the Warriors beat the Chicago Bulls 119-112 on Wednesday night for their franchise record-tying 14th straight road win.

“It was an old-school Splash` Brother game,” coach Steve Kerr said.

The “Splash Brothers” nickname for Thompson and Curry has faded in prominence since Durant joined the duo before last season, but the sharpshooting guards can still put on a show. Thompson was 7 for 13 from 3-point range and Curry was 6 for 11 from behind the arc; no other player made a 3 for the Warriors.

“When they got it going like that, you just play your role and know your place, man,” Durant said.

In other results, Charlotte waylaid Washington, 133-109; Atlanta nipped New Orleans, 94-93; San Antonio turned back Brooklyn, 100-95; Toronto repulsed Detroit, 96-91; Memphis held off New York, 105-99; Miami upended Milwaukee, 106-101; Utah thumped Sacramento, 120-105; and the Oklahoma City Thunder routed the Los Angeles Lakers, 114-90.

Back in Chicago, Durant had 19 points, eight rebounds and seven assists as Golden State moved into a tie for the third-longest road winning streak in a season in NBA history. The Los Angeles Lakers hold the record with 16 straight road wins during the 1971-72 season.

Next up for the NBA-leading Warriors (37-9) is a prime-time showdown with Houston on Saturday in the finale of a five-game trip.
