The Golden State Warriors defeated the Charlotte Hornets and the Los Angeles Clippers on consecutive nights. Here are five highlights from those nights.

The Golden State Warriors played a back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday.  They took on the Charlotte Hornets at home. Then, the team flew to Los Angeles to take on the Clippers. Both games were big wins for the Warriors.

The Dubs continued to cook as they improved to 43-7 on the season. They’ve begun to build on what was a strong January by getting February started right. They’re slowly, but surely starting to click.

For the sake of this piece, I’m only including things that happened on the court. It is worth mentioning some awesome stuff that happened off of it though. Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant were named Players of the Month for what they did in January.  They were both incredible, putting up big numbers and dominating like many expected them to.

The most exciting thing that happened went down in between the games on the plane ride from the Bay Area to LA. JaVale McGee gave his new teammates a very thoughtful gift: a blanket with a sleeping Draymond Green on it. The center recorded it and put it on his Twitter account. Make sure you check it out because it’s hilarious.

The Warriors are the most exciting team in the league. They do something every game that makes you say “wow.” We are witnessing something special every time Golden State laces them up. The Dubs are a little hobbled right now, but they still got the job done.

With that said, here are five highlights from the Golden State Warriors’ back-to-back victories.
