- First match: Kawhi Leonard submits the LeBron James Lakers at the NBA premiere
Kawhi Leonard has become an "executioner" for the Golden State Warriors who saw how the new Los Angeles Clippers player was responsible for leading the attack of the visiting team that was imposed by 122-141.
Leonard, who in the past NBA Finals was the key player with the Toronto Raptors, spoiled the Golden State team with his farewell to the old Oracle Arena. Now, with his arrival at the Chase Center in San Francisco, the new Warriors field also made the party bitter in the first official season game, by providing 21 points in just three quarters that was in the field.
The defeat of the decimated and renewed Warriors was a jug of cold water in its long-standing start at the new Chase Center after having been 47 years at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.
Leonard, elected Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the last NBA final, scored 9 of 17 and distributed nine assists in his second game with the Clippers after leading the Raptors in winning their first title last season.
Patrick Patterson scored 20 points as the second top scorer of the Clippers and the Croatian Ivica Zubac emerged as the best in the inner game to get a double-double of 16 goals, 10 rebounds and two blocks with the Clippers, which are 2- 0 at the start of the new season.
The base Stephen Curry finished with 23 goals and the escort D'Angelo Russell , his new acquisition, reached 20 in his premiere with the Warriors.
The Golden State team was defeated in the way their rivals used to do, even fitting 46 points in the third period.
