The Golden State Warriors got their season-opener off to a strong start as they took a 43-41 lead over he Los Angeles Clippers
into halftime. The Warriors showed some of the strong defense Mark
Jackson has been preaching as they held the much-hyped Clippers offense
to a 33% shooting percentage in the half. Chauncey Billups was 3-of-11, Chris Paul was 1-of-6 and Blake Griffin was 3-of-9 as the Warriors were able to contest just about every shot.
Monta Ellis
scored 12 points in the first half and while he struggled with his
outside shot, he showed his usual athleticism when driving into the
lane. David Lee
was the star of the first half as he scored 11 points and grabbed 8
rebounds. The Warriors as a team outrebounded the Clippers by ten as
they have been playing extremely hard on the glass. They will need to
keep winning the battle of the boards given what Blake Griffin can do if
he starts getting too many second chance opportunities.
