really well of late, points, seven rebounds in each of his last two games, including a few posters, and klay thompson averaging around 29 per game during the five-game win streak. but even making paper airplanes, klay knows the key is playing better defense on the road. klay: we have been trusting each other more and talking, our communication has been great. we have great defenders, so i am very confident we will have the same effort on the road. >> i think these last four or five games have been the best and most consistent defense we have played, and hopefully that translates, and we will give it a shot and see what happens. chris: so here we go, warriors-lakers on abc 7. tip-off 12:30 followed by after the game, larry and guys in the studio, i will be here in l.a. with postgame reaction. 49ers will have a new kicker, in 2020 three. robbie gould telling espn that adam shafter after enjoying his
