The Golden State Warriors sent a “message” to NBA rivals Boston Celtics with a 123-107 victory in San Francisco in a repeat of last season’s Finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Warriors have struggled so far in their title defence, while the Celtics have the league’s best record.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But Klay Thompson hit 34 points for the home side and Steph Curry weighed in with 32, including six three-pointers.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We just played these guys in the NBA Finals, you want to send a message,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Golden State went into the game fourth in the West Conference Pacific division after back-to-back defeats, and while they improved their record to 14 wins and 13 losses they still have plenty to do to get their season back on track.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Celtics, meanwhile, ended a run of three straight victories but remain top of the Eastern Conference Atlantic division after just a sixth defeat in 27 matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boston’s Jayson Tatum, who managed just 18 points, was adamant the defeat, coming just six months after losing out to the Warriors in the NBA Finals, carried no special significance.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was one game,” he said. “It’s not going to dictate our season. It’s all about how we respond.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the Brooklyn Nets, who are second in the Eastern Conference Atlantic, closed the gap on the Celtics with a 136-133 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nets were missing injured duo Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving but Cam Thomas’ career-high 33 points helped them come from nine points down in the final quarter to claim a third straight win.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Chicago, DeMar DeRozan scored 28 points to lead the Bulls to a 144-115 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, who were without the NBA’s leading scorer Luka Doncic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic – the NBA’s Most Valuable Player – had a triple-double of 31 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists in a 115-110 win against the Utah Jazz, while the San Antonio Spurs claimed a 115-111 victory away to the Miami Heat.<\/span><\/p>\n
