Ivica Zubac helps Clippers spoil Warriors home opener
Anthony Slater: Warriors lose their home opener to the Clippers and lose Steph Curry to a painful-looking left ankle sprain. Andrew Wiggins (29 pts on 11/15 FG) nearly dragged them back, but the 21 turnovers were killer. Hield/Kuminga/Podziemski a combined 2/20 from 3.

James Harden on Russell Westbrook: 'When it's all said and done, we'll be in the Hall of Fame'
It’s a long season, and Westbrook is beloved by many who are still with the Clippers. He will see how well he connected with Clippers fans in five weeks when the Nuggets visit Intuit Dome. The Clippers were there for Westbrook at what might have been the nadir of his career. But the Clippers are committed to the pieces they have now without Westbrook, and Saturday’s result makes it easier not to look back again. “We’re both inner-city L.A. kids,” Harden said of Westbrook after Saturday’s game. “When it’s all said and done, we’ll be in the Hall of Fame. That’s a story right there. I’m happy he’s happy and he’s playing well. He’s doing his thing here in Denver. So it’s always happiness when we see each other.”
Powell was outstanding with 37 points on 14-for-21 shooting from the field, including seven of 11 from three-point range. “I was just focusing on what the next play was, what the next read was and really just staying in the moment,” said Powell, who tied a career high with 22 points in the fourth quarter. “I don’t think about how much I’m scoring or what’s going on, missed shots, made shots, good games, bad games.”
