Warriors inflict first loss of season on 76ers
Print Edition
Golden State’s Andre Iguodala made a career-high seven 3-pointers and scored 32 points as the Warriors beat Philadelphia 110-90 on Monday, inflicting a first loss of the season on the 76ers after three-straight wins.
In other games, the Los Angeles Clippers had seven players reach double figures in beating Houston, Cleveland hung on to beat Minnesota by a point, and Memphis rallied in the final quarter to beat Boston.
Golden State’s Stephen Curry had 18 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, but Iguodala rightly stole the headlines with a sensational performance in Philadelphia, scoring 27 points and six 3s in the first half. He also made the best play of the season thus far with a behind-the-back pass in midair that hit David Lee in stride down the lane for a stunning assist.
“We understood with the way they started the season it was important for us to match their effort,” Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. “We got it going offensively and made a statement early.”
Sixers rookie point guard Michael Carter-Williams hit four of 17 shots and scored 18 points.
Los Angeles’ J.J. Redick scored 19 of his 26 points in the first half to set up the Clippers’ 137-118 win over Houston, which suffered its first loss of the season.
Chris Paul added 23 points and 17 assists, Jamal Crawford had 21 points, and Blake Griffin scored 18 for the Clippers, who led the entire game and tying a franchise record with 78 points in the first half.
Houston’s Dwight Howard finished with 13 points and nine rebounds after getting roundly booed in his first game in Los Angeles since leaving the Lakers and signing with the Rockets in the NBA’s biggest free agent move last summer.
The Clippers have won five in a row against Houston at home.
Cleveland held off a late Minnesota rally to beat the Timberwolves 93-92.
The Wolves trailed by 23 points in the third quarter and nearly erased that but Kevin Love, the NBA’s leading scorer, missed a 3-pointer with 1.9 seconds remaining and the ball was tipped away as time ran out.
C.J. Miles scored 19 points and Kyrie Irving added 15 for the Cavaliers.
