Warriors miss Klay Thompson in win over Miami

Klay Thompson has built an NBA career on his catch-and-shoot brilliance. Miami attacked the rim at will for stretches and finished 32-of-59 (54.2 percent) on two-point attempts. Zaza Pachulia dove for the loose ball and hit Curry, who found Andre Iguodala in stride for a tomahawk dunk that sent a capacity Oracle Arena crowd to its feet. Kevin Durant (28 points, eight rebounds), Curry (24 points, eight rebounds, nine assists) and Draymond Green (13 points, nine rebounds) helped the Warriors withstand 28-point, 20-rebound clinic by Whiteside. An NBA-best record long overshadowed the Warriors' warts: a tendency to take defensive possessions off, an inconsistent small-ball lineup, late-game stumbles, a penchant for getting out-toughed on the offensive glass. The Heat, a depleted team that arrived at Oracle Arena with the league's second-worst record, feasted on open driving lanes. In the waning seconds of the first quarter, Miami's James Johnson sliced past two defenders, took one giant stride into the key and posterized Curry on a two-handed dunk. Ian Clark hit a clutch three-pointer, and the Warriors strung together stops.
