Los Angeles (AFP) - Reigning NBA champion Golden State bounced back from losing for only the fifth time this season for an emotional 115-112 road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Klay Thompson on Saturday scored 32 points while Stephen Curry added 23 points and nine assists, and Draymond Green contributed 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Warriors, who own the NBA's best record at 49-5.

The Warriors are chasing the all-time best record in league history, the 72-10 mark of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.

A night after losing 137-105 at Portland, the worst blowout defeat by a defending champion in nearly a decade, the Warriors had 32 assists and only 14 turnovers.
