Warriors top Lakers for 10th straight win

“We were bad, and they were terrible”. “They were very bad. The people who bought tickets should get their money back honestly”.

“I was more aggressive, got better on the defensive end”, Ingram said.

Granted, the Lakers (8-8) would love to upset the Golden State Warriors (13-2) on Friday at Staples Center just as they did in a 20-point win three weeks ago.

The Warriors were sturdy on the perimeter and disruptive even when the Lakers got past the frontline. “Defensively, we were good all night”.

The post Thanks for the Assist (Warriors 149, Lakers 106) appeared first on Fast Break. Veteran guard Lou Williams continues to be a pleasant surprise, averaging 16.6 points a tilt. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a schedule like this, where you see a team five times in two months”. For good or ill, nothing the Warriors do in this regular season (save for winning 74 games) will be long remembered by anyone other than us giddy Dubs fans. Lakers center Timofey Mozgov will start, while Luol Deng will either start at power forward or small forward. Late in the third, a freak play occurred that injured Draymond Green and Ian Clark. As he tumbled, reserve guard Ian Clark, falling nearby, was nailed by a Green accidental knee in the throat. Neither returned to the game. They will face a much tougher test against the Timberwolves back at Oracle. “It’s been like that my whole career, so I just need to be ready”.

“The organization does a great job in having the right people, right teammates, right personnel, right people in every aspect of it to make you a successful basketball player”, Westbrook said.

Kerr said Clark will be re-evaluated on Saturday.

The third quarter was a physically taxing one all around. They closed out the first up 30-20. Golden State carried a 16 point lead into the 4th quarter (80-64).

The Warriors’ lead never dipped below double digits. The Dubs had 31 assists on the night. After the Lakers took the first game of the season between the two, the Warriors dropped 149 points on them Wednesday night.

Kevin Durant is averaging 27 points per game on an unconscionable 57 percent shooting; no player in the top 30 in scoring averages more than 51 percent. It would be quite easy to take them lightly, which the Warriors did for about 2 minutes early in the game. Jose Calderon had seven points in his fourth start in Russell’s place. The bench for the Lakers helped them to regain some momentum.

Rookie Brandon Ingram scored 16 points while making the starting lineup for the first time in his National Basketball Association career, filling in at the forward spot for the injured Julius Randle (hip-pointer). Stephen Curry totaled 24 points and Klay Thompson 18. You’re young and just want to go out there and have fun with the game with no expectations.
