The Golden State Warriors will welcome the Los Angeles Clippers to Chase Center for an NBA game on Thursday. The Golden State Warriors won 123-105 in their last game over the Trail Blazers. The goal for Golden State: Do everything to shut down Damian Lillard, without fouling the Trail Blazers star after he made all 16 of his free throws last time against the defending champs.
Jordan Poole had 29 points, six assists and five rebounds, Klay Thompson scored 23 points and the Warriors rallied past the red-hot Lillard and Portland 123-105 on Tuesday night. Lillard had 25 points and seven assists to follow up his franchise-record and career-best 71-point masterpiece against the Rockets on Sunday night, when his 13 3-pointers were one shy of Thompson’s NBA record. “We know all too well what Dame can do when he gets rolling,” coach Steve Kerr said. “That was the plan from the beginning, let’s try to take him out.”
The Los Angeles Clippers on the other hand lost 101-108 against the Timberwolves in their last game. Paul George had 25 points and Kawhi Leonard 23 for the Clippers, who have dropped three straight. Los Angeles’ last two losses before Tuesday came in overtime, including a 176-175 double-overtime loss Friday night to Sacramento in the second highest-scoring game in NBA history.
“We just got to continue to drill it,” George said. “New guys here, new rotations, new personnel. We got to drill it. Once we get it well get back to what we were doing before the break. I have no concern on that end.” The Clippers had 25 turnovers that led to 29 Minnesota points. The Timberwolves also had a 60-38 advantage in points in the paint.
The Timberwolves (32-32) moved up to eighth in the Western Conference while the Clippers (33-31) remained sixth. The fourth through 10th spots are separated by only three games. “Everybody played really well and that’s what we’ve been waiting for,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. “We’ve been hit and miss with guys but we really needed an effort like tonight.” Anthony Edwards added 18 points and Rudy Gobert scored 16, including a key dunk in the final minute.
