Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for three three-pointers in the final 58 seconds of the first half to help the Golden State Warriors pull away from the Utah Jazz en route to a 115-94 victory on Wednesday.

Curry (three) and Thompson (five) combined for eight three-pointers in the game, giving them an even 500 for the season as the Warriors (57-6) won their 27th in a row at home this season and 46th straight at Oracle Arena dating back to last January.

The overall home winning streak is an ongoing NBA record.

Curry finished with 12 points but Thompson poured in 23, Draymond Green had 17 and center Marreese Speights came off the bench to provide an additional 16, helping Golden State clinch a season-series win over the Jazz with a third consecutive win.

Despite playing for a second consecutive night, Utah (29-35) hung tight for the first 23 minutes before Golden State’s last-minute flurry in the first half created the game’s first double-digit margin.

King James humbles Sacramento LeBron James scored 25 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back from their shock defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies with a 120-111 victory over the Sacramento Kings.

James had been scathing in his assessment of the Cavaliers’ readiness for the play-offs after Monday's upset loss to Memphis, warning that his team were a long way from postseason form.

However the Cavs made sure there was no repeat defeat against Sacramento, who remain in the lower reaches of the Western Conference with a lot of ground to make up if they are to force their way into the play-offs.
