Reigning league MVP Stephen Curry celebrated his 28th birthday and the Golden State Warriors turned 60 after blowing past another opponent at home.   
Curry dropped in 27 points before sitting out the fourth quarter, and the Warriors shot past the New Orleans Pelicans 127-105 on Monday to extend their on-going NBA record-home winning streak to 49 - 31-0 this season at Oracle Arena.  
“It was a fun night, for sure,” Curry said after the defending NBA champs improved to a league-best 60-6.
Klay Thompson tossed in 18 points, Draymond Green had 14 with 12 rebounds while reserve Marreese Speights also netted 14 as the Warriors remained a game ahead of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls pace for NBA’s all-time record of 72-10.  “It’s a great win but we can’t relax,” Thompson said. “We’re playing well but we want to play better.”
Golden State led 59-50 at halftime before taking charge behind 15 Curry points.
A 21-5 burst at the start of the third quarter, featuring Andrew Bogut’s third 3-pointer of his 11-year career, pushing the lead to 80-55 midway through the period. “It seemed to energize the team,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.  
“The bench was going crazy. The crowd was going nuts. One of those lucky plays that kind of gets you going.”
Curry nailed his third triple of the period, a banked in 33-footer, making it 94-66 and the Warriors coasted to their second consecutive 60-win season.   
“It’s so rare to inherit a great team with a lot of talent in your first NBA coaching job,” Kerr said. “I’m pretty lucky to coach these guys.”
