The Golden State Warriors play the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night at 10:30 PM ET at the Oracle Arena in one of the NBA Games.
Golden State (3-0) continues to win games with the new system installed by new coach Steve Kerr. This is the best start of the Warriors in 20 years since 1994 when the started a 5-0 record.
The new revelation for the Warriors is the emergence of guard Klay Thompson, who averaged 29.7 points this season. Stephen Curry remains to be the leader of this team and he averages 25.3 points per game.
Thompson scored 41 points in a win over the Lakers last Saturday, 127-104. He had drilled in 29 points over Portland in a 95-90 win last Sunday.
“It’s a tandem that’s playing both ends of the floor,” Kerr said of his guard duo. “That’s exciting.”
While the Warriors have an early success, the Clippers (3-1) have all the weapons to match their opponents. The Clippers outlasted the Warriors in April in the playoff s. With Blake Griffin averaging 27.5 points, the Clippers maintain the high-octane offense.
Moreover, the presence of Chris Paul, who had a triple-double game against Utah Monday, will be needed to at least defend one of the guards of the Warriors. Paul had a 42-point, 15-assist, six-steal game over the Warriors last year in the NBA’s opener.
“We can’t relax,” Paul told the team’s official website. “We have to get that killer mentality, and we have to put teams away. Teams are way too good in this league, especially now, and they aren’t going to give up. If we keep doing what we’re doing, they’re always going to feel like they can get back in the game.”
