Warriors edge past Clippers
Print Edition
STEPHEN Curry rattled in a three-pointer with 68 seconds left to lift the Golden State Warriors to a 112-108 win over the Los Angeles Clippers in a battle of undefeated NBA teams on Wednesday.
It was the seventh three-pointer of the contest for the reigning league MVP Curry, who also scored 13 straight points in the win.
There were 17 lead changes in the see-saw contest, with Curry’s three pointer being the final one to make it 108-106.
“We have been through this before,” said Curry, who had a game-high 31 points. “Our experience as a team helped us win.
“We are a better team than we were last year. We have got off to a better start and we are a more composed.”
The Warriors improved to 5-0 and have picked up right where they left off last season. They have won their first four games by a record 100 points — and Curry is proving that his MVP award is no fluke.
Curry and teammate Klay Thompson added two late free throws apiece as the Warriors recorded their eighth straight home win over the Clippers.
Forward Harrison Barnes added 17 points and Thompson 16 for the Warriors, who placed all five starters in double figures.
Point guard Chris Paul had 24 points and nine assists for the Clippers (4-1), and power forward Blake Griffin tallied 23 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.
Griffin had eight points in the third quarter, which ended with Los Angeles clinging to an 83-82 advantage.
Elsewhere, it was: Hawks 101, Nets 87; Cavaliers 96, Knicks 86; Suns 118, Kings 97; Trail Blazers 108, Jazz 92; Rockets 119, Magic 114 (OT); Bucks 91, 76ers 87; Raptors 103, Thunder 98; Pacers 100, Celtics 98; and Wizards 102, Spurs 99.
