Key points

  • The Golden State Warriors beat the LA Clippers 124-112 at Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday.
  • Los Angeles led 37-29 after the first quarter.
  • The scoring carried a Golden State team that played without its two most senior players.

The Golden State Warriors beat the LA Clippers 124-112 at Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg scored 37 points for Golden State, the highest total by a Warriors rookie since Stephen Curry scored 42 in the final game of his rookie season.

Clippers start fast, Lendeborg answers

Los Angeles led 37-29 after the first quarter. Lendeborg scored 14 points in the second quarter, and Golden State moved ahead to lead 63-57 at halftime. He finished with 37 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, shooting 13 of 19 from the field.

The scoring carried a Golden State team that played without its two most senior players. Curry and Green sat out the game, which was the first half of a back to back. Curry was out for right knee management and Green was out for low back management.

Melton and the bench give Golden State depth

De'Anthony Melton scored 21 points with 6 rebounds and 3 assists for Golden State, and he finished with a game high plus 20. Brandin Podziemski scored 17 points, and Brandon Williams scored 17 points off the bench. Charles Bassey started at center and finished with 6 points and 10 rebounds.

Rui Hachimura led the Clippers with 24 points. Kobe Sanders, Darius Garland, Kris Dunn and Nick Marinelli also finished in double figures for Los Angeles. Dunn had 7 steals.

The game tightened late. The Clippers bench went on a 13-0 run late in the game and cut the deficit to single digits with two minutes left. Melton then hit back to back three pointers to close the game out for Golden State.

A winning record, and Phoenix next

The win moved Golden State to 4-3. The Warriors have a winning record for the first time since March 8, when they were 32-31 last season.

Los Angeles entered the game at 1-4 after losing four straight games. Golden State entered at 3-3 on a three game winning streak, and the Warriors extended that run at home.

Golden State continues its homestand on Monday night, November 2, when it hosts the Phoenix Suns. Curry and Green were both expected back in the lineup for that game, after sitting out on Sunday night.
