Ontheair son).Itdefinitelymakesmy job easier going out there trying to get them open, trying to make plays for them. It's definitely fun. He can get it going." Not to forget Thomp- son, who scored 60 points in less than three quar- ters against the Pacers on Dec. 5. Everyone is getting their touches, while Curry and Durant seem to take turns on the highlight reel — though they've had a bunch of games when both had big nights. "It's fun. Obviously they're both so skilled," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "They might be the two most skilled players in the league when you're talking about the combina- tion of shooting and pass- ing and creating for oth- ers. It's an incredible lux- ury as a coach to be able to count on guys like that. The fact that they're so unselfish just completes it all. They really want to see each other succeed, they want to see their team- mates succeed." Against Portland on Sat- urday, the third quarter was winding down when Durant realized two de- fenders were swarming him and he made a perfect bounce pass between them to find Curry on the left wing. The MVP knocked down a 3 as the buzzer sounded, Curry pointed at KD and they celebrated with a tame high-five in the blowout. "There have been mo- ments throughout the sea- son where I wouldn't say you're surprised, but it's kind of just wow moments where you appreciate the talent on this squad all the way through," Curry said. Other times, Curry screens for Durant on the perimeter and then the big man returns the fa- vor. There was a no-look, over-the-shoulder alley-oop Curry threw to Durant off a long heave by Draymond Green against Indiana ear- lier this month. "It's fun to watch," said former Warriors player and coach Al Attles. "That's not easy because there are so many outside influences, but they seem to be on the same page." Curry, still the last War- riors player announced during pregame introduc- tions, and Durant are con- stantly looking for each other with the right pass, even if it means passing up a shot. Also against the Trail Blazers, Curry handed off to Durant, who shimmied past C.J. McCol- lum and dribbled left into the paint before an em- phatic slam with his right hand over Noah Vonleh. "Kevin, I don't think there's ever been anybody quite like him in the NBA because of his size and his skill, what he does at that size," Kerr said. "Not many have ever done it." Months ago, as they all met in the Hamptons try- ing to persuade Durant to pick Golden State, Curry and the room of All-Stars envisioned this very kind of depth, dominance and unselfish play that has de- fined the Warriors during another sensational start. "As a group, they like sharing the ball with each other," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. "You can tell how close they are as a team." Now, Curry and KD are throwing around good-na- tured jabs at every chance they get, just as they do those spot-on lobs. Curry's Carolina Pan- thers team topped Du- rant-favorite Washington on "Monday Night Foot- ball." Each sported his re- spective team's football jer- sey after Monday's practice in anticipation. Curry wouldn't reveal what he has in store for payback as the winner of their bet. "You will know when you see it," he said, grin- ning. "You might not see it live, but you'll see it. For sure. That's all I got." Chemistry FROM PAGE 1 ROSS D. FRANKLIN — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) and Kevin Durant (35) hug during the second half of an Oct. 30game against the Phoenix Suns in Phoenix. For everyone who questioned whether Curry and Durant could coexist and put their egos aside for the greater good, the Warriors are a couple of months into the season and the superstars are thriving together. cause of a rules violation, Nick Bellore got hurt on the third snap, and so the 49ers began in-game au- ditions for replacements to line up next to Michael Wilhoite. Vinnie Sunseri and Ahmad Brooks gave it a go before safety Antoine Bethea volunteered to ride out the position switch. "That's the one position where it's really hard to just plug and play," O'Neil said. "You can hide guys on other parts of the defense, but inside backer's tough." Hodges is expected back for the Rams and, perhaps by default, should start with Wilhoite. The only other inside linebackers on the roster are Carl Brad- ford, who got claimed off waivers Monday from the Green Bay Packers, and Wynton McManis, who was promoted from the practice squad Friday as wide receiver Torrey Smith (concussion) went on in- jured reserve. Last Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons had 248 rushing yards, including four runs over 20 yards, and the 49ers' defense missed 22 tackles, a total one of their coaches shouted at players during practice this week. Of the 18 players put on injured reserve this year, 10 are defenders: lineman Arik Armstead; inside line- backers Bowman, Arm- strong, Bellore and Shayne Skov; defensive backs Eric Reid, Jimmie Ward, Chris Davis and Will Redmond; and, nosetackle Ian Wil- liams, who was waived in October with an injury set- tlement. Stopping Gurley will be the defense's No. 1 goal, as was the case in Week 1, when the Rams started Case Keenum at quar- terback. Jared Goff, their rookie top pick from Cal, is expected to make his sixth straight start in place of Keenum. Complementing the 49ers' season-opening de- fensive shutout was, well, an efficient offense that built upon a 14-0 lead. The 49ers put the Rams away with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, includ- ing Carlos Hyde's second scoring run of the game. "Everything was go- ing right with the offense and defense," Robinson re- called. "It was like a dang near perfect game, so we've got to get back to it." Robinson, a fourth- round draft pick, played 41 percent of the defen- sive snaps that game in his pro debut, which was his first game action since 2014 at LSU. He is ex- pected to make his fifth start, with Ward (shoul- der) having gone on IR this past week. What Robinson hopes to accomplish the final two games is surely what his teammates also seek. "Just two wins, that's the main thing," Robinson said. "Put out the best film as possible. Go out, have fun, finally get my first in- terception and just ball." • Left tackle Joe Staley (hamstring) figures to miss his third straight game as he is listed as doubtful, and so is defensive back Don- tae Johnson (groin). Ques- tionable are center Marcus Martin (groin) and defen- sive tackle Glenn Dorsey (ribs, knee). • Rams quarterback Jared Goff, who sustained a concussion last game, will start and is not listed among those as doubt- ful or questionable. Safety Maurice Alexander (con- cussion), cornerback La- marcus Joyner (ankle), and wide receiver Mike Thomas (hip) are doubtful. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 Tip-Ins WARRIORS Green scored just five points, but had game highs with 12 assists and 10 rebounds in his re- turn from a one-game ab- sence. Green said he was on an airplane in New York before it took off for San Francisco on Thurs- day morning and watched the birth of his son, Dray- mond Jamal Green , via FaceTime. He spent the day with his newborn son and girlfriend, Jelissa Hardy, in California before rejoining his team for Friday night's game. The forward had the option of staying home, but said it would've been self- ish to accept the offer be- cause his son and girl- friend were healthy and his teammates have kids of all ages they leave behind for games. PISTONS Jon Leuer re- placed Harris in the start- ing lineup and it might've served to motivate Harris. It didn't help Detroit early, as it fell behind before ral- lying in what was a closely contested game the rest of the night. In his first start of the season, Leuer didn't score as much as he has lately. He had eight points, slightly less than his 11.2 average and fewer than the 17-plus points he scored the previous three games. Up Next WARRIORS Play at Cleve- land on Sunday.
