Golden State’s Klay Thompson scored 16 points on 7 of 18 shooting Wednesday in the Warriors’ 112-108 victory over the Clippers in a thriller at Oracle Arena in Oakland. The Clippers went from being down 17 in the second quarter to leading by 10 in the fourth before Golden State took the win.

Afterward, Thompson talked about this budding rivalry and how he expects the games between the teams to always be hotly contested.

“It’s going to be like that every time we play these guys,” Thompson said. “There are a lot of improved guys on their team, so it was good. Whoever it is, who’s out there, we don’t like to lose on our home court, so it would have been a tough loss.”
