Warriors 106, Clippers 98: Draymond Green led the way with 23 points and six assists as Golden State easily handled visiting Los Angeles.

Klay Thompson added 21 points on 9-of-13 shooting and Shaun Livingston scored a season-high 21 points and eight rebounds off the bench for the Warriors, who wrapped up a 3-0 homestand and improved to 27-2 in their own building. Stephen Curry contributed 12 points and three steals as Golden State picked up its fifth win in six games.

Austin Rivers scored 22 points off the bench and J.J. Redick poured in 18 for the Clippers. Chris Paul collected 14 points and 11 assists while DeAndre Jordan grabbed 14 rebounds for Los Angeles, which had a three-game winning streak come to an end.

Livingston scored the final seven points of a 13-2 run that put the Warriors in front 50-40 before Redick’s 3-pointer cut the Clippers’ deficit to seven points at the break. Curry started to get hot early in the third and provided the highlight of the game when he went between his legs and behind his back to evade three defenders before jumping behind the arc and burying a 3-pointer for a 65-52 lead.

Los Angeles pulled within 76-65 with three minutes left in the third but Golden State closed the period with an 11-3 surge to make it a 19-point gap heading into the final stanza. The Clippers got it down to 96-82 with 5:16 remaining but Harrison Barnes responded with a 3-pointer and Curry knocked down a pair of free throws to push it back to 19, and the Warriors were never seriously threatened down the stretch.

GAME NOTEBOOK:
Curry has hit multiple 3-pointers in 18 straight games and at least one in 53 consecutive contests – the second-longest streak of his career (75). … Thompson hit his 727th career 3-pointer in the first quarter, passing head coach Steve Kerr (726) on the all-time list. … Jordan had a streak of 10 straight games with at least 15 rebounds come to an end.
