Andrew Wiggins hit six 3-pointers en route to 31 points, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 40 more and the Golden State Warriors took advantage of the absence of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to thump the visiting Los Angeles Clippers 124-107 on Wednesday night.

Curry finished with 22 points and Thompson 18, while Draymond Green chipped in nine points, seven rebounds and 12 assists, helping the Warriors win for the third time in their last four games.

Wiggins hit six of his 10 attempted 3-pointers, Curry four of his 10 and Thompson three of his seven, propelling Golden State to a 57-33 advantage from beyond the arc.
