OAKLAND, Calif. Justin Tucker Jersey . -- David Lee had another big game in what Golden State coach Mark Jackson believes is already an All-Star worthy season for the Warriors veteran forward. Lee was impressed the way his teammates bounced back from a disappointing loss two nights earlier. On a night when Stephen Curry set a career high with eight 3-pointers, Lee put together one of his best all-around performances of the season with 23 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high 11 assists to help the Warriors extend the Charlotte Bobcats losing streak to 14 games with a 115-100 victory on Friday night. Its the 11th consecutive game in which Lee has had 20 points or more and his 11th with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, tops in the NBA. "You can pencil in 20 and 10, and then sprinkle in some other stuff around the tree," Jackson said of Lee. "Hes been that good all year long. Stef was again spectacular. Those are my leaders and they are doing a great job of setting the tone." Lee did that with his third career triple-double -- second with the Warriors while Curry became the first player in franchise history to make seven or more 3s in consecutive games. Golden States guard finished with 27 points. That combo was enough to offset a solid night from Charlottes tandem of Gerald Henderson and Kemba Walker, who combined for 39 points. It also got Jackson to talking about the All-Star game. Before and after the game, Golden States coach said both Lee and Curry deserved consideration, though Lee isnt quite ready to get into that discussion just yet. "The biggest argument for me on that is we just have to keep winning games," said Lee, who went 11 of 16 from the floor. "Thats the way Im going to get to Houston or Stefs going to get to Houston, is we just keep winning. A lot of that becomes political and we cant do a whole lot about that, but winning games makes our best case." Henderson had a season-high 23 points for the Bobcats while Walker had 16 points and six assists. "I thought we just kind of went cold," said Walker, who went 6 for 17 from the floor. "Those guys, they just made the right plays on offence and did a great job of moving the basketball and really getting us out of position." Klay Thompson added 20 points while Carl Landry and Draymond Green had 11 apiece for the Warriors, who have won eight of 10. Golden State led by double digits the entire second half and never trailed following a 14-3 run late in the first quarter. The Bobcats, who havent won since Nov. 4, had five players in double figures but lost to the Warriors for the second time in 11 days despite committing only seven turnovers. The way Golden State was shooting it didnt matter. The Warriors (18-9) shot 51.9 per cent from the floor and made a season-high 14 3-pointers after getting 13 in Wednesdays loss to Sacramento. Curry, who had seven 3s against the Kings, led the perimeter attack while Thompson went 4 for 8 from beyond the arc. That helped Golden State complete its first season sweep of Charlotte since 2004-05, the Bobcats first year in the league. Charlotte, making its third stop on a four-game road trip, made one brief run after falling behind 39-25 early in the second quarter but didnt do much else. Walker, who went to the bench briefly in the first quarter after running hard into a screen attempt by Golden State centre Andris Biedrins, scored five points as part of an 11-0 run then made his fourth 3-pointer of the first half to pull the Bobcats within 44-43. That was as close as they could get. "We played hard but when you get down to execution ... theres a two-point disparity and the next thing you know its eight," Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap said. "(Lee and Curry) have presence. Theyre going to have presence all year long, and were not the only ones that are going to struggle defending them." Curry, coming off a 32-point night in the Warriors 131-127 loss to Sacramento on Wednesday, made a pair of 3s over the final 3:40 and had 15 points before halftime to help Golden State pull away. Notes: Golden State committed seven turnovers in the first quarter but only four over the final three. ... Charlotte fell to 2-12 against the Western Conference. ... The Bobcats played without guard Ben Gordon, who sat out with soreness in his right knee. ... New York Yankees ace and Bay Area native CC Sabathia was among those in attendance. Vonta Leach Jersey . The team goes home with just one bronze medal. Brandon McBride of Windsor, Ont., was the best individual Canuck on Sunday, placing sixth in the boys 400-metre final with a Canadian junior record time of one minute 46.

Justin Tucker Black Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.PIESTANY, Czech Republic -- Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and two assists Monday as Canada kicked off its bid for a fifth straight gold medal at the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial hockey tournament with a 4-1 win over Switzerland. Curtis Lazar, Nicholas Ritchie and Yan-Pavel Laplante had the other goals for Canada, which got 30 saves from goaltender Zachary Fucale. Canadian head coach Todd Gill said opening the tournament with a win was a huge positive for the squad. "We obviously have a long way to go but were going to get better and better with each game and each practise," said Gill. "We have three in a row here and face Sweden (on Tuesday) and have to be better than we were tonight. "Were a brand new club trying to learn systems and new players so its going to take a little bit but it was a good start." Canada has dominated the summer tournament since its inception, winning it 16 times since 1991. Gill, who coaches the Ontario Hockey Leagues Kingston Frontenacs, said the Canadian teams strength is its offensive firepower. "Our kids are buying in and we had a good cycle going and we got a lot of opportunities of it," he said. "We just have to start burying our chances." Canada fell behind in the first period after Switzerland scored on the power play. But Lazar tied the score at 15:45 before MacKinnon, who is expected to be one of the top picks at the 2013 NHL draft, put the Canadians ahead to stay at 19:49. Ritchies power-play goal accounted for all the scoring in the second before Laplante cemented the victory with an empty-net goal at 19:46 of the third. Gill said the Canadian team adjusted well to the larger European ice surface but had a harder time getting used to the officiating. Vonta Leach Womens Jersey. . "We had nine penalties in this game and we really have to cut down on that," Gill said. "A lot of them were stick penalties where the defenceman has a man going wide and gives him that little tap that were used to doing but it hits the other players stick and were in the box all night. "Its frustrating but you cant let it get you down because theyre going to call it all night long no matter what the score is." The good news, Gill said, is that can be readily fixed. "Its discipline," he said. "As a coaching staff were going to have to put a plan in place where instead of chasing the guy and giving him a whack we play a turnover game where you turn the player over to someone who is closer to him." Canada is in Group A with the Czech Republic, Finland and Slovakia. Russia, the U.S., Sweden and Switzerland make up Group B. The top two teams in each division advance to the semifinal round Friday. The two winners will square off in the tournament final Saturday. Canada will face Slovakia on Wednesday before having a well-earned day off Thursday. Gill said with such a condensed schedule, its important a team be able to roll four effective lines to keep all the players fresh. "You have to give everybody the opportunity to play," he said. "Tonight, for the most part, we rolled four lines. "The thing I find is (coaches) dont really match up here, they just roll their lines and thats a bonus, I guess. If I see them throw a line that I think is considered their fourth line then if I get last change Im coming back with my No. 1 line. But tonight I wanted to roll four lines to get everybody ready."
