WARRIORS defeat Cloud Surfers for fifth straight win, 103.80-95.65

WARRIORS extended their win streak to five games with a hard-fought win over Cloud Surfers, earning a 103.80-95.65 victory. WARRIORS leapt out to a 31.60-point lead on Thursday behind impressive showings from Nyheim Hines (18.05 points) and the Indianapolis Colts defense (13.55). Cloud Surfers came back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Derek Carr (18.3 points) and Alvin Kamara (16.4). Not to be deterred, WARRIORS rallied later that afternoon, as DeVonta Smith (18.6 points) and Brandon Aiyuk (15.4) put them back in the lead for good. This marks the second time this season WARRIORS have knocked off Cloud Surfers, after winning 134.9-108.55 in their last matchup. WARRIORS (7-2) will look to add to their success against Hits & Grins, while Cloud Surfers (4-5) try to get back in the win column against PANTHERS2.
