The Golden State Warriors didn’t need their two-time league MVP Stephen Curry to have a big game to take care of the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. For many teams in the NBA that might be an issue but not when you have Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson to pick up the slack. Durant and Thompson combined for 65 of the team’s points in the 113-105 win.
Thompson was particularly hot early scoring on his first seven attempts. He would end the game with 32 points. Klay’s hot hand had a positive effect rest of the team according to head coach Steve Kerr.
