"We know how to respond" Klay Thompson & Stephen Curry say after Warriors' Game 3 loss to Lakers

Stephen Curry scored 23 points and Andrew Wiggins had 16 in a collective stinker for the Golden State Warriors who fell 127-97 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday to trail 2-1 in their second-round playoff series. The Warriors committed 19 turnovers and never mounted a response to the Lakers on either end in the second half. Golden State went 13 for 44 on 3-pointers — making just 10 while the game was still competitive — after hitting 21 in each of the series’ first two games in San Francisco. Klay Thompson had 15 points and seven rebounds for the Warriors, but the rest of the roster beyond their top three scorers struggled mightily, combining for just 18 points before coach Steve Kerr pulled his starters with 9:11 to play. Draymond Green had two points in 23 minutes while playing with foul trouble. “As ugly as this was tonight, we have an opportunity to respond on Monday, so there’s no point in dwelling on it and hanging our head and getting discouraged,” Thompson said. “We know how to respond. We’ve done it in our existence for 10 years here.” Game 4 is Monday night in Los Angeles.
