Rookie Thornton Leads Clippers Past Warriors
With the help of a hot-shooting rookie, the Los Angeles Clippers were able to get their first win of the preseason.
Al Thornton came off the bench and scored 18 of his game-high 24 points in the second quarter as the Clippers coasted to a 99-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday night.
Thornton scored 14 points during a 24-7 run late in the second quarter that expanded a six-point lead to 58-35 with 1:02 left in the first half. The 14th pick of the 2007 draft, Thornton made his first eight shots and finished the game 11-of-15 from the field.
Golden State , which trailed by as many as 27 points in the third quarter, had cut the deficit to nine point, 85-76, with 6:33 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Clippers then used a 9-2 run to push the lead back up to 16 with 3:51 to play.
Corey Maggette had 18 points and 14 rebounds and Ruben Patterson contributed 19 points and 11 rebounds for Los Angeles .
Al Harrington led the Warriors with 17 points and Baron Davis had 14 points and three steals.
Warriors first-round pick Marco Belinelli did not play until the second half and missed his first four shots - including an airball - before nailing a 3-pointer with four minutes remaining in the third quarter. The 21-year-old Italy native finished with just five points on 2-of-9 shooting.
The Clippers, who are already without All-Star Elton Brand due to a ruptured Achilles Tendon, were also missing Shaun Livingston (dislocated left knee) and Cuttino Mobley (strained left calf).
