Warriors Edge Clippers in Preseason Opener

In a preseason matchup in Honolulu, the Golden State Warriors edged out the LA Clippers 91-90, featuring a memorable moment between superstars Steph Curry and James Harden, who celebrated their 16-year NBA careers. The two shared a warm embrace before the game, highlighting their mutual respect and camaraderie, with Curry posting on Instagram, '16 yrs on em!!! @jharden13'. Although Curry has remained with the Warriors throughout his career, Harden has played for five different teams and is still seeking his first championship. Both teams are facing challenges this season, with the Warriors adjusting to the loss of Klay Thompson and the Clippers struggling with injuries to key players like Kawhi Leonard. The Warriors' management has restructured the roster around Curry and Draymond Green, while Harden's Clippers are dealing with the absence of Paul George. Expectations are mixed for both teams as they navigate this new season.
