After a shaky start, in large part due to injuries knocking out key players for extended time, the Golden State Warriors won their fifth game in a row Sunday night with a 108-104 overtime victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers — the NBA’s longest current win streak.

After scoring 10 points in the games first five minutes, Stephen Curry struggled coming out of the locker room after halftime, but found his shot with 13.5 seconds left in overtime, nailing the finishing blow to the Cavaliers. Curry finished with a near triple-double: 29 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds.
The Warriors have won 10-of-15 and seem to be finding their game as they got a huge win on their first of a long seven game road trip.
The win moved the Warriors to a respectable 19-13, but only good enough for seventh in the Western Conference.
Great way to start the road trip!! #DubNation
