Posted by Stephen Rhodes under Main 

????????????????????????????????????Golden State Warriors forward Stephen Jackson, right, shoots over Los Angeles Clippers forward Tim Thomas during the second half of their game, played Wednesday night. Jackson scored 29 points, leading Golden State to the 116-100 win over Los Angeles.?

I think it is safe to say that after the Golden State Warriors got spanked at Sacramento on Tuesday, they learned their lesson and in the process, found a whipping boy; the whipping boy (boys?)?in question happened to be the Los Angeles Clippers as on Wednesday, Golden State shot 51.6% from the floor, while Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis combined for 57 points – leading the Warriors to a laugher over the Clippers at Staples Center.

In a rare occurrence for Golden State, they led from tip-off to the final buzzer; they went 7-of-11? from 3-point range in the first quarter to build a 37-26 lead and increased their advantage to 64-46 at halftime.? The Clippers managed to get to within 92-81 on a free throw by Al Thornton that capped an 11-0 run with 9:36 left in the game, but Golden State went on a 20-8 run?that increased the Warriors’ edge to 112-89, effectively sealing the win.

Golden State was led by Stephen Jackson with 29 points – including 5treys, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, while Monta Ellis scored 28 with 3 rebounds and 6 assists; Mickael Pietrus added 15 with 12 rebounds and a blocked shot, while Baron Davis pitched in with 14 along with 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.? Los Angeles was led by Al Thornton with 24 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal, while Corey Maggette scored 21 with 4 rebounds, an assist and a steal; from off the bench; Tim Thomas added 20 with 5 rebounds, an assist, a steal and a blocked shot.? Golden State (42-25) now travels to Texas to take on the Houston Rockets Friday, while Los Angeles (21-46) flies north to Portland to face the Trail Blazers – also on Friday.
