(SportsNetwork.com) - The Golden State Warriors will try to extend their franchise-record home winning streak on Friday when they host the Sacramento Kings at Oracle Arena. Golden State has won 17 straight as the host for the first time. The Warriors won 16 in a row at home over two seasons in 1950 and 1959 when the franchise was in Philadelphia. Our goal going into the season was to protect home court, said guard Steph Curry, who was named a Western Conference All-Star game starter on Thursday. It means a lot to be consistent every night. The Warriors, who have won three in a row overall and own the NBAs best mark at 34-6, earned a season sweep of the Houston Rockets last time out. It was Golden States first season sweep of Houston since the 1973-74 campaign. The Warriors won, 126-113, on Wednesday in a game with yet another skirmish between the two teams. With Golden State up big in the third quarter, Curry was whistled for an offensive foul. On the way back down the quarter, Houstons Trevor Ariza bumped into Curry, who went after the Rockets player until Draymond Green held him back. Curry, who already had a technical foul, but was not given one for the altercation, finished with 22 points and 10 assists. Klay Thompson had 27 and Green notched 18 points in the win. If thats how they want to try to get back in the game, it didnt work, Curry said. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr will be the Western Conference All-Star game coach in just his first season as an NBA head coach. The Kings have lost five straight and two in a row on the road. Fridays game starts a five-game road trip, which quickly heads east to New York, Toronto, Cleveland and Indiana. On Wednesday, the Kings staged a furious comeback, but came up short at home against the Brooklyn Nets. Sacramento fell, 103-100. Brooklyn led by as many as 23 in the first half before the Kings trimmed the deficit to two late in the fourth quarter, but the Nets were able to stave them off down the stretch. We just didnt come ready to go, Kings head coach Ty Corbin said. I thought we came back and fought hard. Rudy Gay scored the final eight points of a 12-2 run to trim an early 17-point fourth quarter deficit to 88-81 midway through the frame and DeMarcus Cousins netted the last four points of a 9-2 spurt later in the period to whittle the gap to 96-94 with 1:31 to go. Brooklyns Joe Johnson answered at the other end with a left wing 3-pointer before Cousins and Johnson each hit a pair of foul shots for a 101-96 Brooklyn advantage with 24.1 ticks remaining. Cousins drove in for a dunk and Johnson split a pair from the charity stripe, but Ben McLemore was off on a triple and the Nets Jarrett Jack hit 1-of-2 foul shots with 8.6 seconds on the clock to seal the outcome. Cousins supplied 28 points and 14 rebounds and Gay chipped in 25 points, eight boards and six assists for Sacramento. Darren Collison recorded 16 points and five assists for the Kings and Omri Casspi chipped in 10. The Warriors have won both of this seasons matchups and six straight against Sacramento.

NEWARK, N.J. -- For seven years, Miikka Kiprusoff was a constant in net for the Calgary Flames. Karri Ramo might be the next in line. Ramo made 31 saves to record his second NHL shutout and Mark Giordano scored the only goal as the Flames topped the New Jersey Devils 1-0 on Monday night. "He reminds me of (Kiprusoff)," Giordano said of Ramo. "His style is similar. Theyre quick guys. We really have a lot of confidence in our goaltending." Calgary improved to 34-38-7 overall, including 16-20-4 on the road this season. "Its just a hard-working group," Flames coach Bob Hartley said. "Were going to fight until the last second. I love this group." Cory Schneider stopped 21 of 22 shots for New Jersey, which fell to 34-29-16. New Jerseys loss also allowed the New York Rangers to clinch a playoff berth. Both Calgary and the Devils have three games remaining this season. The Devils are three points behind Columbus for the last playoff spot in the East. "In my opinion, I think were going to get one more chance (to make the playoffs)," New Jerseys Jaromir Jagr said. "Its too strange to finish like that. Youve got to believe. It wouldnt make any sense to finish like that. We dominated. Just keep the faith and I think were going to get one more chance in my opinion. "Well see if Im right or wrong." Neither the Flames nor Devils scored until Giordanos power-play goal 23 seconds into the third as both teams were unable to take advantage of opportunities. Giordanos goal, his 14th of the season, was a one-timer off a feed from Jiri Hudler. "You like those (passes)," Giordano said. "Rolling pucks, goalies have (a tough time) picking it up (and) I picked it up pretty (well)." While Giordano celebrated his good fortune, the Devils lamented their misfortune. The Devils outshot Calgary 22-16 through two periods, and finished with a 31-22 advantage. New Jersey also did not allow the Flames a shot on goal in a 15-minute span between the first and second periods. "(We) had chances and opportunities and didnt stick it in the back of the net," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. "A common theme, (we) dont score easily and we hadnt all year. Were at mercy of games like this where margin of error is very small.dddddddddddd I thought defensively we were very good, but when you cant score its hard to win." New Jersey had a goal disallowed with 1:26 left in the first, as referee Brad Watson waved off what would have been a game-opening score by Ryan Carter. The ruling was upheld by a video review by the NHL in Toronto. Replays showed Carter kicked the puck, but it was inconclusive whether the Devils left wing was able to get his stick on it before it rolled under Ramo. "I saw it off my foot and between the goaltenders pads, I got a piece of it (with my stick) and thats what propelled it in," Carter said. "I dont think (the review in Toronto is) how I saw it. Thats how it was." Calgary was unable to convert on four power plays in the first two periods, and rookie left wing Kenny Agostinos semi-breakaway with 1:34 left in the second was sticked away by Schneider. The play began as New Jersey right wing Tuomo Ruutu committed a turnover in the offensive zone, and ended with Devils defenceman Jon Merrill committing a slashing minor as he tried to affect the shot attempt. "Its a great learning experience for them," Hartley said of the Flames rookies, who have had to play at even strength and on specialty teams this season. "Kenny had a good game. "I felt he generated scoring chances out there." Merrills slash led directly to Giordanos goal. Calgary finished 1-for-5 on the power play, while New Jersey was 0-for-3. NOTES: The game marked the first time Agostino played as a professional in New Jersey. Agostino, who grew up a half-hour away from the Prudential Center, was traded from Pittsburgh to Calgary along with right wing Ben Hanowski and the Penguins 2013 first round pick last March for Jarome Iginla. "Its going to be a cool experience," Agostino said before the game. "Its a building Ive seen a lot of games in, so its going to be fun." Agostino estimated he had a cheering section of at least "40." ... The Devils did not have defenceman Bryce Salvador, left wings Ryane Clowe and Patrik Elias, and centres Adam Henrique and Jacob Josefson due to injuries. ... The announced attendance was 14,297. ' ' '
