What we discovered as turnovers bite Warriors in loss to Clippers initially appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
BOX SCORE
The Warriors have actually seen the Los Angeles Clippers two times this season and in theory entered into each video game with a benefit.
Golden State had an additional day of rest in between video games and wasted it both times.
The Clippers, once again using the 2nd night of a back-to-back set as they were on Oct. 27 in San Francisco, held back the rallying Warriors and handed them a 102-99 loss Monday night at Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
The Warriors (10-3) stopped working to score 100 points for the very first time this season and slipped to 2nd location in the Western Conference. They just should accept losing two times to the Pacific Division competing Clippers in the very first month.
Stephen Curry ended up with a game-high 26 points however was not able to strike an objected to shot in the last seconds. Andrew Wiggins scored 22 points.
Here are 3 takeaways from a discouraging night in Golden State’s very first video game in the Clippers’ brand-new arena:
Message heard, not hearkened
When these groups last fulfilled, on Oct. 27 at Chase Center, LA won behind strong inside play and great deals of sloppiness by the Warriors, who offered the Clippers 31 points off 19 turnovers.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr referenced that in his pregame press conference.
“We’ve got to be a lot more disciplined group tonight,” he informed press reporters in LA. ‘We’ve got to play a cleaner video game, look after the ball, get it out of the web and go and create more speed.”
Suitable message, however it died rapidly when the ball increased. The Warriors devoted 5 turnovers in the very first 5 minutes and 7 in the very first quarter, providing the Clippers 11 charity points.
LA took a 27-22 lead into the 2nd quarter and it just worsened for the Warriors. They depended on 13 turnovers by halftime, and LA turned the contributions into 22 points.
The Warriors did a much better task in the 2nd half, however their early mistakes were excessive to conquer.
Easy cash goes unspent
The Warriors have actually done lots of things well this season, which is why they’ve been at or near the top of the West all season. Their offending and protective metrics are outstanding, however there is one element in which they’re stopping working.
They’ve had a hard time to make complimentary tosses, which was an issue once again.
Golden State reached the line 19 times, however drained pipes just 9 shots, ending up at a season-low 47.4 percent. The Clippers, by contrast, were 16-of-18 (88.9 percent) from the line,
The Warriors got in the video game ranked last in the NBA free-throw portion at 71.2 percent, with only Curry (94.3 percent) and Buddy Hield (85.7) shooting above 75 percent.
The issue is becoming worse,
