Warriors destroy the Laker

[golden state warriors]

 Klay Thompson made 5 of 6 3-pointers and scored 25 points to help the Golden State Warriors rout the Los Angeles Lakers 115-89 in a pre-season game in Shanghai on Friday night.

 

David Lee added 16 points and Draymond Green had 14 points and six rebounds for the Warriors, who followed up their 100-95 win over the Lakers in Beijing on Tuesday with another victory.

Bryant is sitting out the start of the season as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. Pau Gasol was the only Lakers player in double digits, scoring 16 points.

 

Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni said, however, he wasn’t worried about his team’s performances in China this week.

The Warriors opened up a close game with a 26-5 run late in the third quarter to take an 84-68 lead late in the period. Golden State got 13 points from Thompson during the run, including three 3-pointers in a 1 1/2-minute span.

The only slight concern for the team came three minutes into the game when Andrew Bogut left with back spasms after scoring a layup and didn’t return. The Australian center has battled injuries in recent years -only playing 32 regular-season games for the Warriors last year -but has been fit coming into this season.
