Lakers vs. Warriors - Game Recap - November 23, 2016 - ESPN
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The pass-happy Golden State Warriors put on a spectacular offensive show for their former coach, and Luke Walton had to watch the onslaught against his Los Angeles Lakers from the other bench this time.
Stephen Curry had 31 points with seven 3-pointers and nine assists, Kevin Durant scored 28 and Golden State discovered an astonishing first-half offensive flow to run away from the undermanned Lakers 149-106 on Wednesday night.
The Warriors' franchise-record 47 assists -- on 53 baskets -- are the most in the NBA this season and topped their previous best passing night more than 35 years ago.
"That's pretty crazy. We almost have more assists than rebounds. That's sick," Durant said. "That shows we're getting more comfortable with each other."
It was the most assists in the NBA since Phoenix also had 47 on Nov. 29, 1991.
Golden State had 26 assists on 29 baskets before the break, as in sync as the Warriors have been since adding Durant during the offseason and far better than when they took a 20-point beating at Los Angeles less than three weeks ago.
Klay Thompson added 26 points with four 3s and Ian Clark scored 21 off the bench, while Draymond Green dished out 11 assists to go with nine boards in the Warriors' ninth straight victory since losing at L.A. earlier this month.
Golden State took care of the ball, too, committing just 10 turnovers.
