Clippers spoil Warriors' home opener with key win on October 28

In a highly competitive matchup on Sunday night, the Los Angeles Clippers edged out the Golden State Warriors with a score of 112-104 during the Warriors' home opener. This victory was particularly significant as it showcased the performance of Ivica Zubac, who delivered an impressive game with 23 points and 18 rebounds, leading his team to success. His strong presence in the paint contributed to the Clippers scoring 58 points inside the lane, effectively undermining the Warriors’ defensive efforts. Stephen Curry, a pivotal player for the Warriors, unfortunately, left the game midway through the fourth quarter due to a left ankle injury. Despite contributing 18 points and six assists earlier in the game, his departure significantly affected the Warriors’ momentum. Curry had initially tweaked his ankle late in the third quarter but tried to return before ultimately sitting out for the remainder of the game. The match also featured notable performances from Andrew Wiggins, who scored 29 points, and James Harden of the Clippers, who tallied 23 points and 11 assists. The Clippers capitalized on 21 turnovers committed by the Warriors, converting them into 21 points, despite themselves committing 18 turnovers. As the game unfolded, a moment of silence was observed before the match for Hall of Famer Al Attles, a former Warriors player and coach who recently passed away. The Clippers are now set to host the Portland Trail Blazers, continuing their campaign, while the Warriors will take on the New Orleans Pelicans in their next game.
