Curry's 38 points lead Warriors to Game 1 win over Clippers. MORE:
Stephen Curry , The Canadian Pressscored 38 points and made eight 3-pointers to give him the most in post-season history, and the top-seeded Golden State Warriors began their quest for a three-peat by running away from the frustrated Los Angeles Clippers for a 121-104 victory in their playoff opener Saturday on a night tempers flared.
These teams are meeting for just the second time in the post-season after the Clippers took a seven-game, first-round series in 2014 when the California franchises had a deep dislike for each other.got Golden State going by making all five of his shots in the first quarter on the way to 17 points to go with seven assists and seven rebounds, while Durant scored 23 points as the Warriors ran their post-season winning streak to seven games.
Beverley, who missed last Sunday's 131-104 loss at Oracle because of a right hip pointer and was booed during pregame introductions, didn't score in the first half and wound up with three points on 1-for-7 shooting, seven assists and seven rebounds.The Clippers lost their cool on a couple of occasions, and that hurt playing in an already difficult road arena.
Cousins, who played his first game of the season Jan. 18 at the Clippers, missed twice on the Warriors' initial three possessions but dunked in between those two. Regularly left wide open on the perimeter, Cousins knocked down a 3 from the top at 9:11.Steve Kerr challenged the Warriors — not to mention himself with a self-acknowledged temper — to be more disciplined yelling at the officials. Green was knocked down by Beverley on a no-call early and became enraged but avoided a technical.
