LOS ANGELES -- Steve Kerr and Luke Walton remained close friends and daily confidantes after their coaching careers sent them to opposite ends of California this summer.Although theyve enjoyed the chance to spend time together while the Warriors and the Lakers played each other five times in the past 43 days, theyll both be grateful for a little space in this rivalry.Particularly after a game that neither coach enjoyed at all.Kevin Durant had 29 points, nine assists and six rebounds, and Golden State beat injury-depleted Los Angeles for the second time in three days, 109-85 on Friday night.It looked like a Thanksgiving food hangover, Walton said.Stephen Curry scored 24 points and Klay Thompson had 18 in the Warriors 10th consecutive victory. Golden State followed up its 43-point win in Oakland on Wednesday with another comfortable victory in these clubs third regular-season game in three weeks, although Kerr and Walton didnt see much to like about a sloppy post-holiday contest.It was one of the worst basketball games Ive seen in my life, Kerr said. We were awful, and they were awful. The people who bought tickets should get their money back, honestly.It almost got worse for the Warriors: Draymond Green had 12 points and eight rebounds before leaving in the third quarter with a bruised left ankle from a collision with teammate Ian Clark. Green is cautiously confident his injury isnt serious.Jordan Clarkson scored 20 points for the Lakers, who played without injured starters Julius Randle, Nick Young and DAngelo Russell. The Lakers gave up 149 points to Golden State on Wednesday, and they never made it close Friday with three of their top five scorers sidelined.Theyre the best team in the league, Clarkson said. I dont think we see them for a little while, so (we can) get that game out of our head and get our swag back.TIP-INSWarriors: After all of this early season exposure, these teams dont finish their series until April 12 in Oakland. ... Curry missed a breakaway dunk in the second quarter, drawing laughter throughout the arena. Staples Centers video board replayed the miss after the next timeout and then cut to Curry, who was grinning broadly. Ive missed dunks before, the two-time MVP said.Lakers: Clarkson moved back into LAs starting lineup with Young sidelined. Jose Calderon had seven points in his fourth start in Russells place. ... Walton said he didnt review tape of Wednesdays loss: I told our film guy I would throw him out of our room if he put that game on my laptop.ON A ROLLThe Lakers were the last team to beat the Warriors, notching a 20-point blowout on Nov. 4. Since then, Golden State has found the rhythm necessary to become the powerhouse expected when Durant abandoned Oklahoma City to join up with the two-time defending Western Conference champions in July.Its nice learning lessons in wins, but I think were a better team since the last time we stepped foot in this building, Curry said. Were still trending in the right direction. You dont take anything for granted, but its nice we put together consecutive good performances.INGRAMS ACTIONBrandon Ingram had eight points on 3-for-18 shooting in his second NBA start, getting valuable experience as the Lakers offensive focus in the absence of Russell and Randle, his fellow blue chip youngsters. Ingram, the No. 2 pick in last summers draft, went 1 for 10 in the first half, but kept firing while grabbing nine rebounds.LAKERS HURTINGRussell is out for at least two weeks after missing three of the previous four games with a sore left knee, while Randle missed his second straight game with a hip pointer. Young missed his first game all season after spraining his toe earlier in the week during a game against Oklahoma City in which he hit the game-winning 3-pointer.GREEN SCREENEDClark was prone under the basket when Green fell and tripped over his head. Clark was hit in the throat, but showed no sign of a concussion, the Warriors said. Green rolled his ankle and didnt realize he had stepped on his teammate. After skipping the fourth quarter and putting ice on his leg, he hopes to play Saturday back home in Oakland.UP NEXTWarriors: Host Timberwolves on Saturday.Lakers: Host Hawks on Sunday.

Caleb Daniel didnt have long to soak up the Western Bulldogs premiership triumph, the busy midfielder undergoing shoulder surgery just days after the drought-breaking win.With celebrations still in full swing, Daniel went in for a shoulder reconstruction that will have him on a modified pre-season program until mid-January.We had to manage it for a fair portion of the season, but it didnt give me too many issues, Daniel told AAP.It was all just down to a bit of wear and tear. There were a couple of little incidents, but nothing too bad.Ive still got some rehab to go, Im about seven-and-a-half weeks in, but Im doing all of the running. Its coming along well.Im lucky in the sense that I dont have to just sit on the bike or anything like that ... I can do all of the running so I think that will definitely help.Despite the nagging issue, Daniel still managed 24 of a possible 26 games in a breakout season in which he finished second to Sydneys Callum Mills in the AFLs Rising Star award.The 20-year-old spent a large portion of his off-season in home town Adelaide where the historic grand final win oover Sydney was a hot topic of discussion with family and friends.ddddddddddddBut he says the enormity of winning the clubs second premiership flag after a 62-year wait only really hit home when he returned this week to Whitten Oval.I dont think I really thought about it too much until we got back into the swing of things, he said.It feels like its almost coming to life more now that were back together for pre-season.As much as well get flogged by the coaches, (the premiership win) definitely makes pre-season a lot more enjoyable.The first-to-fourth-year Bulldogs will be joined by the rest of the squad next week but, even at this early stage, Daniel can already sense one grand final win wont be enough to satisfy the group.Were going to work as hard, if not harder, than we did last year, he said.We dont know what the future holds but well be working as hard as we possibly can to achieve that again.Theres no better feeling than holding that cup up ... it was amazing.
