Rookie Lendeborg Scores Career-High 37 Points, Warriors Top Clippers 124-112 without Curry, Green
Lendeborg added six 3-pointers as Golden State got 40 bench points and its fourth straight victory.
On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, rookie Yaxel Lendeborg scored a career-high 37 points, leading the Golden State Warriors to a 124-112 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers at Chase Center in San Francisco.
Lendeborg's standout performance followed a difficult outing Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers, where he fouled out in 24 minutes and told reporters the turnaround was 'awesome' to witness.
With Stephen Curry and Draymond Green resting on the back-to-back's first night, De'Anthony Melton added 21 points, while Brandin Podziemski and Brandon Williams each contributed 17 points off the bench.
The loss marked the Clippers' fifth consecutive defeat, dropping them to 1-5. They host the Raptors on Monday, while Golden State hosts the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.
Lendeborg's 6-of-11 shooting from deep on Sunday raised his season three-point percentage to 40.9%, validating his long-range capability and silencing pre-draft concerns about his shooting accuracy.
