12连胜!金州勇士苦战拿下猛龙,继续不败

 　　Even if they played an imperfect game, the Golden State Warriors¹ managed to maintain their perfect start.

　　即使他们打的比赛也许并不完美，但是，金州勇士队完美的赛季开局阶段仍然在继续。

　　Stephen Curry² scored 37 points to lead the defending NBA champions to their 12th straight win to open the season, a hard-fought 115-110 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night.

　　在周二晚上，史蒂芬·库里砍下37分，带领卫冕冠军以115比110艰难的击败了多伦多猛龙，豪取开赛12连胜。

　　"We hold ourselves to a very high standard," Curry said. "We didn't put any pressure on them defensively in the third quarter. We were sloppy³ on a couple of possessions offensively and gave them life. Those are things we need to improve on. Everyone likes to learn those lessons in wins."

　　“我们一直用很高的标准要求自己”，库里赛后表示。“我们在第三节没有给他们防守端施加压力，草率地结束了我们的进攻并且给了他们机会。有很多需要我们继续提高的地方，当然，每个人都愿意在赢球的同时接受教训。”

　　Klay Thompson added 19 points and Andrew Bogut scored 13 for the Warriors, off to the best start by an NBA team since Dallas won its first 14 games in 2002-03. Golden State needs three wins to equal the league record of 15-0, held by the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets.

　　克雷·汤普森贡献19分，博古特也贡献了13分。勇士队也创下了自2002-03赛季小牛队14连胜之后的最佳开局。只需再有三场比赛的胜利，金州勇士就会追平1948-1949赛季华盛顿子弹和1993-94赛季休斯敦火箭共同创下的开局15连胜的记录。

　　This one didn't come easy, though. Toronto fought back from an 18-point deficit⁴ and trailed by one late in the game with the ball. But guard Kyle Lowry was called for an offensive foul⁵, and Curry hit two free throws to help seal the win.

　　回顾今天这场比赛，胜利来得并不容易。猛龙队曾一举逆转了18分的劣势，并在最后时刻拥有球权并只落后1分。但是最终，后卫凯尔·洛瑞被吹罚了一次进攻犯规，而库里依靠两记罚球为勇士队锁定胜局。

　　"I don't know what happened," Lowry said. "I just know I got a call for offensive foul. It happens. It's the NBA. That's all I can say about it."

　　“我不知道发生了什么”洛瑞说。“我只知道我被吹罚了一次进攻犯规，就这么发生了。这就是NBA，这就是我想说的。”
