It’s an exciting, seven-game slate on this NBA Friday, with the marquee matchup taking place in none other than New York City. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors will take their high-octane show into Madison Square Garden to face off with the Knicks.
Another intriguing matchup comes later in the evening, as the James Harden-less Rockets face the Clippers at home. That means Chris Paul will be facing his former team, and will try to get them on the right track after a 1-3 start.
Stay with us all night for the latest scores, highlights and updates from the evening.
NBA scores for Thursday, Oct. 26
Cousins ejected from game…in street clothes
Well, this might be a first for DeMarcus Cousins. The Golden State Warriors center managed to get ejected from the team’s game versus the New York Knicks while in street clothes. He was apparently arguing with a referee and was assessed a technical and was immediately thrown out of the game.
Durant impresses MSG crowd
Kevin Durant opened up Friday night’s game versus the New York Knicks with a fast break slam dunk. Durant has been rumored to be interested in possibly signing with the Knicks as a free agent in 2019.
Payne scores 11 points in opening quarter
Cameron Payne came out to play on Friday night. The Chicago Bulls scored 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting in the opening quarter versus the Charlotte Hornets. He has scored 32 points in his last three quarters played.
Curry, Durant show heads to NYC
What can Stephen Curry do for an encore to his 51-point performance on Wednesday? The Madison Square Garden fans will find out on Friday, when the Warriors take on the Knicks. Kevin Durant was no slouch himself, putting up the quietest 30-point game you’ll ever see while Steph mesmerized fans with his long-range display. Hopefully Warriors coach Steve Kerr isn’t too exhausted from hitting the New York club scene.
CP3 faces former team
Chris Paul was the linchpin of the Lob City Clippers, and on Friday he’ll take on his former team without the services of his current running mate, James Harden, who is out with a hamstring injury. Paul will have a huge load to carry as he attempts to pull the Rockets out of a 1-3 start to the season. Carmelo Anthony will also be making his first start of the season.
