Warriors blow out Lakers in comfortable win

– The Warriors reassigned rookie forward Kevon Looney to the Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBA Development League.

The Warriors put their overwhelming firepower on display in a 109-88 win against the lowly Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. The Lakers also had their three-game win streak halted.

The Warriors shot 46.5 percent, 43.3 percent (13 of 30) from beyond the arc.

“Our guys are playing with a lot of confidence, sharing the ball, playing together, competing and that’s part of the process that we’ve been talking about”, coach Byron Scott said.

This game was a no-brainer for the Warriors pretty much from the start.

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is suffering from a nagging shin injury but is putting on a fearless front to help the squad win.

As a team, the Lakers had 25 points at the end of the first period, meaning Thompson only missed matching the entire Lakers’ team by three points in the quarter.

“If I knew, there would have been a different result tonight”, said Larry Nance Jr.

“It was a combination of Klay Thompson… and Klay Thompson”, he said.

Overall, the Warriors made 46.5 percent of their shots to 31.9 percent for the Lakers.

The Warriors have been experimenting with different shin pads to protect Curry, and Schulz says anything that limits the force of the impact on the sensitive area is the correct way to go about it.

Thompson would get a rest to start the second quarter, but the rest of the Warriors picked up the slack in his absence.

The Lakers were in this game for a spell.

Kobe Bryant missed his third straight game with a bum righ tshoulder, and the Lakers experienced some hilarious fan betrayal. “We’ve done a good amount”. World Peace got a technical foul in the third quarter after a brief exchange with Green.

J.R. Smith had 24 on eight 3-pointers for the Cavaliers, who had all five starters score in double figures and improved to 15-1 at home. Randle did, however, contribute by pulling down a team-high nine rebounds with four assists to go with them.

While Livingston is fully capable of orchestrating the offense and posting up smaller guards for easy buckets on the blocks, Golden State needs Curry at full strength if it’s going to resemble the wrecking crew that has so far this season dominated the Association. “I wake up the next day and think about the future and get excited again”. “We just weren’t able to get over that hump”. Walton said it’s part of the team’s goal to minimize travel weariness….

“It’s frustrating and annoying”, Curry said.

The Golden State Warriors has been smashing records left and right in the NBA’s 2015-2016 season, and Monday night was no exemption as Draymond Green grabbed his third straight triple-double, previously held by Hall of Famer Tom Gola back in 1959-1960.
