LOS ANGELES -- The last time the Golden State Warriors visited Staples Center they suffered a surprising 20-point thumping by the Los Angeles Lakers. Since then, the Warriors have reeled off nine wins in a row.The Warriors and the Lakers meet Friday for the second time in three days and the third time this month.On Wednesday, the Warriors (13-2) delivered some payback in a 149-106 rout at Oracle Arena of the short-handed Lakers, who played without starting point guard DAngelo Russell -- out two weeks with a sore left knee -- and forward Julius Randle (hip pointer). It was the most points scored by an NBA team this season.I dont think a team Ive been on has ever scored 150 points in a game, said Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson, according to the East Bay Times. But I can settle for 149.Stephen Curry (31), Kevin Durant (28) and Thompson (26) combined for 85 points. The Warriors, who recorded a franchise-record 47 assists, scored 80 points in the first half.It was a beautiful exhibition that (the Warriors) put on, Lakers coach Luke Walton said.

You always have another chance to redeem yourself one or two days later.That was the message: Let it go and be ready for Friday.The Lakers will need a much better effort defensively if they expect to slow the high-octane Warriors, who are leading the league at 119.2 points and 31.9 assists per game. Golden State also is tops in field-goal shooting, connecting on 50.2 percent compared to 46.8 percent (fourth) for Los Angeles.Offense has been one of the strengths for the Lakers (8-8), but their defense has lagged. The Lakers, who have lost three of their last four, with Wednesdays 111-109 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder being their lone conquest, are allowing 112.1 points (27th) while scoring 109.6 (fourth). They are third in 3-point shooting at 39 percent.However, opponents are hitting 48.5 percent of their shots from the floor.The Lakers, though, are the only team to hold Golden State under 100 points this season. That occurred during their 117-97 romp on Nov. 4.Much of the Lakers production this season has come from their bench, which is leading the NBA in scoring at 52.1 points per game. In 12 of the teams 16 games, the leading scorer has been one of the reserves. Lou Williams has led the way in eight contests.Williams (43.2 percent) and Nick Young (40 percent), one of the leagues early surprises, pace the Lakers 3-point shooting.The Lakers have won the last two meetings against the Warriors at home. Both have been double-digit triumphs. Walton is a major reason for Los Angeles improved play this season.You can tell Luke Walton has come over there and changed the culture a bit, Durant told the Orange County Register.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Rookie Brandon Williams is the starting cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals.Playing opposite All-Pro Patrick Peterson, there will be a barrage of passes coming Williams way.Is he ready?Hes the best weve got, coach Bruce Arians said after practice Wednesday, so he better be.Its almost Williams job by default. Mike Jenkins tore an ACL and is out for the season. Justin Bethel has a bad foot. Marcus Cooper just got here.So the Cardinals will stick with Williams, who has only been playing the position for a year or so.Of course it feels good, Williams said, because ultimately Im doing something right. But Im not satisfied at all. Ive got a lot of goals. My dreams not complete.Williams was a running back before he was switched to corner in his final season at Texas A&M.While he has impressive athleticism, he gave up some big plays in the preseason.Arians said Williams needs to learn to consistently turn around and look for the ball when hes covering a receiver.Me running with a guy and then having to turn around and find the ball is something new to me, Williams said, because as a running back I didnt have to do that. So its something Im working on and I feel like Im getting good.Williams faces some big-time talent in the Cardinals season opener Sunday night against the New England Patriots. Tom Brady wont be there, but backup Jimmy Garoppolo has a host of talented receivers.It all starts with the eyes, Williams said. Thats a very good offense. Theyve got a lot of different things they do, a lot of personnel they do, so our eyes will be a big key in stopping those plays.Williams said hes learned theres a whole different attitude in being a cornerback.Being relaxed, he said. Running back is more of an attack position, more of `Im going to go gget it, as a cornerback is more relaxed and a `let the game come to you position.ddddddddddddExpect Williams to get some help.Arians said Peterson wont stick with one receiver the whole game, as he often does when the opponent has an obvious No. 1 target.Hell be in a bunch of different places, Arians said. Theres not a guy that hes going to mirror all the time.The help will come often, not just when only Arizonas defensive front is rushing the passer.We can help him even when were doing everything else, Arians said, other than blitzing everybody and he wont have to cover him very long if were blitzing everybody.Arians said Bethel, a three-time Pro Bowl selection on special teams, hasnt practiced enough to start at cornerback.Bethel was supposed to challenge Williams for the job. But his foot never responded fully from offseason surgery and he knows he will have to play in pain through the season.If I was a normal person I could just sit around and let it heal up, Bethel said.He acknowledged that the pain slows him down.Yeah, you can feel it, Bethel said. I try not to think about it but obviously its there. Its not like something I can tape up and get around. Its not a shoulder, its not an arm, its my foot and I have to be on my feet.Bethel will play, Arians said. So will Cooper, acquired this week in a trade with Kansas City.But at the start, the job goes to the rookie.I never thought it would happen, he said. Not saying I doubted myself or anything. I just never looked this far ahead. I was just taking it day by day, but now its on me and Im very excited about it.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
