In a controlled game, the Golden State Warriors beat the Los Angeles Clippers with good performances from Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The stars scored 20 points in the last quarter and, finally, gave their rival no chance of reacting on the scoreboard. The teams ended the round this Thursday (30), which, in fact, featured nine other games.
With the victory over the Clippers, Curry and Thompson’s Warriors reach their third victory in the last five games. Important, above all, for a team that previously had a sequence of six defeats. Furthermore, the result is important in direct confrontation. After all, Golden State surpasses Los Angeles in the West rankings.
On the other hand, the Clippers are on the opposite streak. In other words, there are three defeats in the last five matches. Since James Harden arrived, there have been eight defeats in 13 games. However, the overall moment is not so bad. The team has won five of its last eight commitments. But the poor start is taking its toll on the table. At this moment, the team is not even in the zone of play-in em 2023/24.
However, there will be a chance for a rematch. After all, the next game for both is a new meeting between them. However, the duel that takes place next Saturday (2) will be played in Los Angeles. Therefore, another direct confrontation between stars like Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, James Harden, Paul George and Draymond Green, in a new Warriors x Clippers.
Missed Warriors had control
The duel was balanced, but always with some advantage for the home team. A special highlight goes to the moments in which Steve Kerr used his four reserves alongside Klay Thompson on the court. It was this formation that led a beautiful run to open up an advantage between the first and second quarters. Finally, they also had a good start to the final period, allowing Curry to rest.
The proof of this is in the points balance of the four reserves. Brandin Podziemski, Dario Saric, Cory Joseph and Jonathan Kuminga led the team to a victory of more than ten points each when they were on the court.
In fact, Klay Thompson was the only one in the starting lineup to have a positive points balance in his minutes in today’s match (+8). The Clippers bench was barely able to compete with this rotation.
It’s worth remembering, in fact, that Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II did not play tonight. Moses Moody gained an opportunity in the starting five, while other players took advantage of the space left by their absences.
Finally, Curry returned to the court in the final quarter and scored 11 points in the last six minutes of the game, preventing any chance of a reaction. A good response from the team following the big comeback once morest the Sacramento Kings two days ago.
Paul George starts badly and Los Angeles feels
The Los Angeles team was coming off a game once morest the Sacramento Kings, however, on Wednesday night (29). In other words, two games in two days. Even without significant absences, the team was not as hot, above all, on the perimeter as in the victory once morest the other rival from California.
Kawhi Leonard and James Harden tried. After all, they combined to go 7-for-12 on three-pointers. But Paul George’s start and the reserve quintet’s first appearance were crucial to the defeat. Tyronn Lue has found better rotations in recent games, but that wasn’t the case in the duel once morest the Warriors.
Even though they won the volume battle, collected more offensive rebounds and committed fewer offensive errors, the Clippers never looked close to overcoming Curry and Thompson’s Warriors. With each touch on the scoreboard, the team saw the opponent respond. The team was just five points behind with four minutes of play remaining, but was unable to go any further.
