Warriors bounce back to beat Clips
Print Edition
REIGNING NBA champion Golden State bounced back from losing for only the fifth time this season for an emotional 115-112 road victory on Saturday over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Klay Thompson scored 32 points while Stephen Curry added 23 points and nine assists, and Draymond Green contributed 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Warriors, who own the National Basketball Association’s best record at 49-5.
The Warriors are chasing the all-time best record in league history, the 72-10 mark of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
A night after losing 105-137 at Portland, the worst blowout defeat by a defending champion in nearly a decade, the Warriors had 32 assists and only 14 turnovers. At Portland they had 20 turnovers, 13 in the third quarter alone.
“The electricity in this building got us up,” Thompson said. “We didn’t have 13 in one quarter. The 30 assists, that’s crazy. It’s a testament to how unselfish we are.”
The Warriors pulled their starters with a 16-point lead in the final minutes and the Clippers responded with a 13-0 run to pull within 115-112 with 5.1 seconds remaining.
A Golden State turnover on the inbounds pass gave CJ Wilcox a shot at a tying 3-pointer, but he missed at the final buzzer.
Elsewhere on Saturday, it was: Heat 114, Wizards 94; Bucks 117, Hawks 109 (in double overtime); and Knicks 103, Timberwolves 95.
