The Golden State Warriors backed all that talk up and G.S.W. Lead Man Mark Jackson gets his "Bigs" to play just as big or if not bigger than Lob City's Bigs to take a 1-0 lead in the best of seven series. The Warriors switched their game around late going to a slow down "Fight 4 Larry"-like Pace offensively and that put them in the Winner's Circle.

G.S.W. gets a team-high 22 points from Klay Thompson as he also grabbed seven rebounds along with five helpers. The highly-underrated David Lee goes double-double with 20 points and thirteen boards with Jermaine O'Neal adding lucky 13 as the Warriors shoot 40% plus from the field and the Arc but committed some 21 turnovers. Steph Curry had just 14 points and seven helpers but combined with KLAY-metheus to go 6 of 13 from the Arc as the "Chicks dig the Money Ball" forget the Dunks!

The Clips get a game-high 28 points,seven boards, and eight helpers from CP3 and 22 points from JJ Redick of #DukeInTheNBA. They lacked the production from Blake Griffin who had just 16 points and wasn't a factor on the glass saddled with foul trouble throughout and eventually being disqualified late. DeAndre Jordan went double double 11 points and fourteen boards but had seven turnovers as the Clips committed 17 of those as a team.

Now the Warriors put all the pressure back on the Clips for game two on Monday Night at 10:30pm ET at Staples. The Clips need to just play Clips-Type Basketball and get the next one and not worry about the 4 out of seven as it's a marathon not a sprint!
