Basketball fans can look forward to thrills and spills from the world’s best basketball league with ESPN, the premier venue for coverage of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
The live Regular Season clash this week features the Clippers as they welcome the Golden State Warriors to the Staples Center in Los Angeles for a California derby at 10:30pm, live on ESPN (GOtv channel 37).
The Clippers have recovered from a poor start to the season and have put together a strong run of form in recent times.
“We’re just playing with more flow and pace,” said Eric Bledsoe, who is back for his second stint with the Clippers. “We got tons of shooters.”
The Warriors, on the other hand, enjoyed a brilliant start to the season, with Stephen Curry naturally racking up the points at an astonishing rate, though Coach Steve Kerr has warned that they have a target on their backs – as one of the early favourites for the championship – and that the team will find the going tougher on away trips such as this one.
“A lot of that is the way we’re playing, a lot of that is our fans, the energy in the building, there’s a really good vibe about the team, the fans feel it,” Kerr said. “Great way to start the year but now we’ve got to go out on the road and it’s going to get a lot tougher. We obviously are very happy to be where we are.”
The 2021-22 season will continue through the week of Friday 26 November to Thursday 2 December 2021.
