Warriors snap long road skid; Nelson inches closer to Wilkens
Basketball Betting Lines
03/29/2010 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Reggie Williams poured in 25 points and Don
Nelson inched closer to becoming No. 1 on the all-time NBA coaching victory
list as the Warriors grabbed a 121-103 triumph over the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Warriors used just eight players and snapped a 13-game road skid despite
being without leading scorer Monta Ellis (flu). It was the team's first away
victory since January 6 at Minnesota.
Golden State dominated the second quarter with a 40-14 scoring difference, a
period in which the Warriors shot 17-of-26 from the field. The Clippers went
4-for-16 over the same span.
Nelson has 1,330 regular season victories, which is three away from breaking
the record held by Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens. The Warriors, who have just 21
wins this season (21-52) will play six of their final nine games on the road.
They play at Utah on Wednesday, but also have contests against several sub-par
teams, including New York, Washington, Minnesota and the Clippers again.
Rasual Butler had 21 points and Eric Gordon 20 for the Clippers, who lost for
the 11th time in 13 games. Drew Gooden added 16 points and 12 rebounds, while
Baron Davis chipped in 18 points, seven assists and six boards.
The Clippers were ahead by as many as 13 in the opening quarter, but the lead
was trimmed to 36-29 after 12 minutes.
The Warriors used a 26-4 spurt to take control of the game. Williams ended the
burst with a jam for a 49-40 lead and the Warriors continued to pull away,
holding a 69-50 cushion at the half.
"When we were down 13 points we kept our pedal to the metal and played good
defense," Nelson said. "Lenny Wilkens is my hero and if I do pass him it would
be an honor."
The double-digit spread remained in the third quarter, although the Clippers
trimmed the margin to 95-83 going to the fourth. They climbed within single
digits, but only at nine, the last time at 100-91 following a Steve Novak
technical free throw with 9:05 remaining. Golden State netted the next six
points, capped by a Ronny Turiaf slam.
"The game was strange and disappointing," Clippers coach Kim Hughes said. "We
shot poorly. Our bigs were not good and turned the ball over too much. When
our offense went south we stopped playing defense."
