The LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors lock horns at Chase Center on Sunday night. It's the first meeting of the year between the division rivals. The Kawhi Leonard-less Clippers are 1-1 in their two games. It was very close to being 2-0 after James Harden nearly led the team to an overtime win against the Phoenix Suns in the season opener, which LA lost 116-113.
However, the Clippers ensured they got the job done against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, winning that contest 109-104. Harden dropped a 24-point, 16-assists double-double, while Normal Powell scored 38 points on 14 of 21 shooting. Ivica Zubac played a complementary role, tallying 24 points, 15 rebounds and four assists.
On the other hand, the Warriors are off to a hot 2-0 start, handling business against minnows Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz with back-to-back blowout wins. They beat Portland 140-104 and the Jazz 127-86 on the road. Buddy Hield has been the unexpected hero, averaging 24.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists, shooting 75.0% from 3-point range.
The Warriors have clicked as a whole, and they will hope to keep this momentum going in their home opener against the Clippers.
