Going Green helps keep Warriors hot

Stephen Curry scored 17 of his 19 points in the first quarter and Draymond Green had his second straight triple-double as the Golden State Warriors extended their NBA record to 18 straight wins to open the season with a 120-101 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday.

Leading by 10 points at half-time, the defending champion Warriors opened the third quarter with a 27-8 run that included four 3-pointers by Brandon Rush to build the lead to 29 points.

The Kings never got close the rest of the game.
