Lakers gobbled up in Golden State, roughed back down to 8-8

The Warriors have held a comfortable lead throughout the game, so the hope is they’re just holding out Green as a precaution.

Golden State’s Kevin Durant scored 28 as the Warriors found an astonishing first-half offensive flow to run away from undermanned Los Angeles.

Speaking to reporters before the Los Angeles Lakers face his former team the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena, Luke Walton said, “No, not unless somebody else tells me something different”. LAKERS HURTING Russell is out for at least two weeks after missing three of the previous four games with a sore left knee, while Randle missed his second straight game with a hip pointer. He was the first Warriors sub to make at least eight field-goal attempts without a miss since Chris Mullin went 8-of-8 at Milwaukee on January 18, 1996.

Walton spent the first 43 games last season as Golden State interim coach while eventual Coach of the Year Kerr took a prolonged leave of absence dealing with complications following two back surgeries. He finished with 40 points. Over this span, the Warriors’ offense has provided a massive 123.6 points per game. We got guys that like the spotlight. Or Lakers forward Brandon Ingram could start at small forward, while Deng moves to power forward.

In another National Basketball Association score, Kawhi Leonard scored 30 points, LaMarcus Aldridge added 23, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Charlotte Hornets 119-114 for their seventh straight victory. It was a total rout as early as the first quarter.

Houston Rockets guard James Harden also recorded his sixth 15-assist game of the season in their loss to the Toronto Raptors. Golden State methodically pushed their lead to 20 points (70-50).

The Trail Blazers already had 100 points by the end of the third quarter, putting the Pelicans in a big hole they couldn’t overcome despite a few late rallies. Ian Clark contributed 21 points and has shot a ideal five-for-five from beyond the arc.

Expect another long night, Los Angeles. Viewers can buy a season pass for all teams, for an individual team, or even buy just tonight’s game through the official website. Russell had averaged a 16.1 points, a team-high 4.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 41.3 percent from the field. “They’re the best team in the league”, Clarkson said. The Lakers are fourth overall by averaging 109.6 points per contest, but they potentially could be without three of their starters.

The Warriors used a third-quarter burst to take command.

Darren Collison had 21 points for the Kings, who sank 12 3-pointers. He had seven points, four rebounds, and six dimes along with two turnovers in 20 minutes against the Warriors on Wednesday.

Green left the game and did not return, but X-rays came back negative. Neither returned to the game.

Andre Drummond’s double-double helped Detroit Pistons to a comfortable 107-84 win over Miami Heat in Florida.

Phoenix pulled clear in the closing seconds to win 92-87 at Orlando, led by Alex Len’s 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Memphis Grizzlies outscored Philadelphia 76ers by five points in overtime to win 104-99, their tenth victory of the season.
