Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg scores 37 in win over Clippers
Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg scored a career-high 37 points in a 124-112 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.[1, 5, 6] It was the highest-scoring game by a Warriors rookie since Stephen Curry in 2010.[2, 3, 6 +1] Golden State rested Stephen Curry and Draymond Green for the game.[1, 6]
Lendeborg hit six 3-pointers and added six assists.[1, 6] He said he regretted 'falling into peer pressure' while trying to reach 40 points, and called himself an 'ethical hooper' after falling shy of that mark.[3, 6] The Athletic reported Lendeborg's two 30-point games this season match all Warriors rookies in the previous five years combined.[7]
Why it matters The win gave the Warriors their fourth straight victory.[1]
