Print Edition
KLAY Thompson scored 25 points and Stephen Curry added 22 as the Golden State Warriors won their eighth consecutive game, routing the Indiana Pacers 120-83 on Monday to complete a four-game road sweep.
Kevin Durant added 14 points while Draymond Green contributed 10 as the Warriors improved to 12-2, helped by a season-high 60 rebounds.
“What a great trip,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “I thought we really defended well and we moved the ball extremely well.”
Durant grabbed 11 rebounds, all of them on the defensive side, and added six assists.
“We contested lots of shots and blocked 10 of them,” Kerr said. “We’re getting those blocks from different people. It’s also great to see how well Kevin is defending. He was really good at that end.”
Durant, who joined the Warriors from Oklahoma City in the offseason, said he and his new teammates still are adjusting to each other.
“We played well but we still are getting used to each other,” Durant said. “It takes time to come together. I still think we are capable of being a lot better.”
A cold-shooting Pacers lineup made only 33 of 103 shots with starters Paul George and Myles Turner out with ankle injuries and guard Jeff Teague suffering an ankle injury in the third quarter as Indiana fell to 7-8. Rodney Stuckey had 21 points for the Pacers.
In Los Angeles, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin scored 26 points each as the Clippers beat the Toronto Raptors 123-115 in an early-season match of National Basketball Association division leaders.
The Clippers stayed a game clear atop the Pacific Division ahead of the Warriors.
Paul had 12 assists while DeAndre Jordan had 15 rebounds for the Clippers, who improved the NBA’s best record to 13-2 with their 10th victory in 11 games.
The Clippers led by 17 in the second half but the Raptors cut the margin to 119-115 with less than a minute to play. JJ Redick made four free throws down the stretch to seal it and end a run of four successive losses to the Raptors.
Kyle Lowry led Toronto with 27 points.
Elsewhere, it was: Grizzlies 105, Hornets 90; 76ers 101, Heat 94; Wizards 106, Suns 101; Rockets 99, Pistons 96; Celtics 99, Timberwolves 93; Bucks 93, Magic 89; and Spurs 96, Mavericks 91.
