SACRAMENTO — Enough Warriors fans made the 90-minute drive Sunday to Golden 1 Center for a road game to have a distinctly friendly environment. By the time Kevin Durant stepped to the foul line with 2:46 left, a predominantly yellow-and-blue crowd rained down a familiar chorus: "WARR-I-ORS!" It was an early celebration for a 117-106 win over the Kings that helped exorcise the memory of Friday's stunning collapse to Memphis. In extending its NBA-record streak of consecutive regular-season games without back-to-back losses to 124, Golden State blitzed Sacramento 39-22 in the third quarter to create distance. Not long removed from the days in which interior defense was its most glaring weakness, Golden State frustrated DeMarcus Cousins (17 points on 4-of-11 shooting, seven turnovers) with a wave of double teams. The longtime role player helped quell Cousins while chipping in 10 points on only five shots and seven rebounds. Armed with arguably four of the league's top 20 players, the Warriors have hardly needed perfection to cruise to a league-best record. The Kings' two-time NBA All-Star was left shaking his head as Curry finished with the reverse layup on the other end.
