The main criticism of the Warriors so far has perhaps been a lack of help to Curry. The Baby-Face Assassin is undoubtedly balling out, but the Warriors still have an underwhelming record. They have just one win on the road and have struggled on the defensive end all year long. But against the Clippers, Curry finally got some help from Andrew Wiggins.
The Golden State Warriors are at full strength once again after their stars returned to the starting lineup. Draymond Green, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson sat out the last game against the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Warriors were blown out of the building: The Clippers meanwhile were without their stars,?Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.?
Andrew Wiggins has been having a solid season, and he had a great game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He scored 31 points on 12-18 shooting from the field and 6-10 from three-point range.
