The Golden State Warriors continued their winning streak, securing their fourth and fifth consecutive victories against the Washington Wizards and the Portland Trail Blazers, respectively. Stephen Curry was a standout performer, scoring 30 points with eight 3-pointers in just 27 minutes against the Wizards, leading the team to a 129-118 win, and hitting 6 out of 10 from the 3-point range early in the third quarter. The Warriors had a narrow lead at halftime with a score of 63-61. Trayce Jackson-Davis's back-to-back double-doubles, with 10 points and 15 rebounds in the Wizards game, contributed significantly to the Warriors' success. Jonathan Kuminga also made an impact with a putback poster that left Curry visibly shocked. Despite Jordan Poole's return to the Bay, where he scored 25 points for the Wizards with a 7-21 FG, the Warriors prevailed, with Kerr noting the ovation for Poole as a highlight. With their latest wins, the Warriors' record improved to 15-14. As the Warriors look ahead, they aim for their third win this month over the Blazers, with rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis impressing and Klay Thompson averaging 26.5 PPG since Draymond Green's suspension. The Warriors' next game is against the Denver Nuggets on Christmas Day.

Trayce Jackson-Davis is ELEVENTH out of 308 qualified for FG% allowed in the paint. I'm telling y'all - give this young man starters minutes and he's immediately a Top 10 center in the league. A complete outlier given where he was drafted. https://t.co/bpAPE9UyD3
i don’t think non golden state fans have clocked how good podziemski is already

Holy RIDICULOUS pass by Podz - this had to be PERFECT to go through a guy like Thybulle, and I love how Trayce completely outsprinted a G/F to get ahead on the play. The athleticism is insane at C. https://t.co/jVqM3NK0Qi

Klay Thompson’s 11-for-16 FGs matches his most efficient night sjooting (also vs POR). In 6 games since benching, he is averaging a team-high 25.7 ppg on 52.9% shooting (33 for 66 from 3) Over that span, GSW’s ORTG is 8th. Before? 17th. Klay is still a massive difference maker
Brandin Podziemski recorded at least 10/5/5 for the second straight game in a row tonight That’s the second time Podz has had back-to-back games of 10/5/5 No other rookie has accomplished that feat once this season https://t.co/IQmOIu0qyc
Since Wiggs was sent to the bench, Klay's averaged 25.7 ppg on 53/50(!!)/100 shooting in 6 games. I think Klay's been dying for consistent touches, is getting it & now found comfort/rhythm. This Klay/Wiggins thing has become complicated - Wiggins can't stay a bench player.
Warriors handle business and sweep the Wizards, Blazers back-to-back. Klay Thompson scores 28, continues hot stretch. Warriors have won five straight. They are 15-14. Up next: at Denver on Christmas Day.

Two consecutive blowout wins for the Warriors while missing Draymond, GPII, and Wiggins. Once these guys come back and Trayce is still in the equation, they will go on that dominant run I talked about before the season started. It's slowly coming to fruition.
The Podz / TJD combo is a beautiful thing for the Warriors https://t.co/zEGyLxLqOR
Whether it's a 3, a mid-range, a shot at the rim, PnR defense, big guys, little guys, Trayce guards EVERYTHING. I love this dude. This is generational stuff from the center position.
The Trayce/Saric minutes have been dominant. Please don't go away from this - they are very dynamic together offensively, and Trayce holds it together defensively.
Trayce now has 10 points in 13 minutes. Does not take long for this young man to get to double-digit scoring, and it's the best kind - dunks at the rim.
KLAY THOMPSON: (Full transcripts in Comments) • Trayce Jr. “another double-dub…could be a force in this league” TRAYCE JACKSON-DAVIS: • “it’s not ordinary having this many legendary people on your team” • “the way that (CP3) talks about the game” https://t.co/bPHbHDz8rg https://t.co/jnqo4CMmNH

In each of his last 2 games, the @warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis has: - notched a double-double - grabbed more than a dozen rebounds - shot better than 70% The last NBA player to do that off the bench in back-to-back games was his father, Dale Davis, from April 12-13, 2001. https://t.co/yffwLd4G6y

Love a game where Curry is properly aggressive. The combination of his flurries (the motion is fine as long as he has these segments) and Trayce's defense is enough to win them games while Draymond/GPII are out. Once those 2 come back, their defense is going to get SPOOKY.
Would be fun if Jordan Poole shot like 25 for 30 against the Warriors, but, well, he's 4 for 11.
