Ivica Zubac helps Clippers spoil Warriors home opener
Anthony Slater: Warriors lose their home opener to the Clippers and lose Steph Curry to a painful-looking left ankle sprain. Andrew Wiggins (29 pts on 11/15 FG) nearly dragged them back, but the 21 turnovers were killer. Hield/Kuminga/Podziemski a combined 2/20 from 3.

If Kerr can get Lue to take Zubac, his 2nd best player, off the floor by going Draymond at C he should do it as much as he can stand. – 9:44 PM

Clippers still lead 59-57 but first unit is not better than the Denver starters.
And the Nuggets don’t have to play a game tomorrow.
7:04 left in third quarter. Clippers trying to get as much out of Zubac and Powell as possible. Harden has 12 assists and 6 shot attempts. – 6:33 PM

Nikola Jokic has 16 and 5, but gave up 15 and 8 to Zubac on the other end….However, he’s the only Nugget in double figures….
James Harden has 11, 9 assists and 6 rebounds…he’s firmly on triple double watch – 6:12 PM

Clippers lost as many as 13 points off largest lead, still lead Denver 48-42 at halftime
Ivica Zubac has NEVER had back-to-back 20-point games in his career. He is close to getting it when it is needed most:
– 15 points, 7/12 FGs
– 8 rebounds
Nuggets: 10 paint points, 5 asts – 6:10 PM

Clippers played just over 6 min. Wednesday night without centers Ivica Zubac or Kai Jones on floor.
LAC outscored Suns 13-12 in that time, but Tyronn Lue said that going to those lineups is better for the team defensively than offensively right now.

Center Ivica Zubac played his first two seasons with the Lakers before being traded across the arena in year three, giving him a sense of what, exactly, makes those Clipper fans different. “It’s not the biggest fanbase in the league, but it’s a very proud fanbase that will do anything to see their team win the championship, and they’re behind you no matter what,” he said. “Those long-standing fans, they went through a lot of stuff with this team to be that loyal. To stick with the Clippers and be loyal to them, it means a lot to the players, and that’s why I say I love playing here and representing them.” -via GQ.com / October 22, 2024
