The squad has won nine of its previous ten games and is on a six-game winning run. And they&#8217;ve moved up to fourth in the East throughout this time. The Warriors may have won the NBA title in 2022, but heaven knows they aren&#8217;t performing at that standard any longer. With a 15-16 record, the team is only ranked 11th in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-383871\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/Klay-Thompson.jpg\" alt=\"Klay Thompson NBA\" width=\"1100\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/Klay-Thompson.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/Klay-Thompson-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/Klay-Thompson-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/04\/Klay-Thompson-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They have only won four of their last ten games, which makes problems worse. The second-longest active victory run belongs to the Nets, who have now won six straight games, a season-high. It handed them a franchise-record sixth straight victory against Detroit and brought their road win streak, which was the best of the season, to four games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More NBA news:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><a title=\"Why was Memphis Grizzlies\u2019 Ja Morant ejected from the game against Oklahoma City Thunder?\" href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/why-was-memphis-grizzlies-ja-morant-ejected-from-the-game-against-oklahoma-city-thunder\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Why was Memphis Grizzlies\u2019 Ja Morant ejected from the game against Oklahoma City Thunder?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><a title=\"Ex NBA Amar\u2019e Stoudemire Arrested On Misdemeanor Battery Charge For Punching His Own Daughter\" href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/ex-nba-amare-stoudemire-arrested-on-misdemeanor-battery-charge-for-punching-his-own-daughter\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Ex NBA Amar\u2019e Stoudemire Arrested On Misdemeanor Battery Charge For Punching His Own Daughter<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><a title=\"8X Grammy Nominee Travis Scott Goes All the Way to France to Link Up With NBA Prospect Victor Wembanyama\" href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/8x-grammy-nominee-travis-scott-goes-all-the-way-to-france-to-link-up-with-nba-prospect-victor-wembanyama\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">8X Grammy Nominee Travis Scott Goes All the Way to France to Link Up With NBA Prospect Victor Wembanyama<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/nba\/\"><strong><em>Follow our NBA page for more key NBA updates and news<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Durant and Russell Westbrook accomplished it for Oklahoma City in 2011\u201312, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving of the Nets became the first teammates to rank in the top 35 in the same game three times in a season.
