  • Celtics celebrate 17th title

Morrow, who averaged 7.7 points as a reserve in his other three games this season, played 42 minutes and was 15-for-20 from the field. The 6-foot-5 guard from Georgia Tech signed with the Warriors on July 25 after playing for their Summer League team. His total was the highest this season by a rookie, topping O.J. Mayo's 33.

Morrow was the third player to score 30 or more points against the Clippers in their last three games, including Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki (33) and Sacramento's Beno Udrih (30).

Andris Biedrins had 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Warriors, who blew a 14-point lead before pulling away early in the fourth quarter. Biedrins recorded his 16th consecutive double-double, the team's longest streak since Nate Thurmond's 18 straight in 1971-72. Stephen Jackson had 20 points and 10 assists.

Davis finished with 25 points and 11 assists for the Clippers, who also got nice efforts from Chris Kaman and Marcus Camby. Kaman had 15 points and 13 rebounds, and reserve Camby got 12 points and 11 boards. Cuttino Mobley finished with 19 points.

Maggette, playing his second game after missing the previous four with a strained left hamstring, had 17 points during a foul-plagued 26 minutes. He had two fouls in the first 2:03 and got his third with 3:24 left in the first quarter.

Maggette's fourth foul came with 9:24 left in the third and Golden State leading 62-54. The Clippers then went on a 14-2 run to pull ahead 68-64 with 6 1/2 minutes left in the quarter, as Mobley capped the rally with a short fadeaway jumper.

Davis opted out of the final year of his contract with the Warriors in July, turning down $17 million and signing a five-year, $65 million contract with the Clippers on the same day Elton Brand left the Clippers with a year left on his contract and signed a five-year, $82 million deal with Philadelphia.

One day later, Maggette opted out of the final year of his contract with the Clippers - turning down $7 million to sign a five-year, $50 million contract with Golden State. The Clippers are off to a 1-8 start, while the Warriors are 4-6.

Kelenna Azubuike had 15 points for Golden State. The Clippers, who had visions of Azubuike playing backup small forward for them behind Al Thornton, signed the third-year shooting guard to an offer sheet on July 17. But the Warriors matched the three-year, $9 million deal seven days later.

Notes: Jackson was the first Warriors player to record double digits in assists. Davis did it 20 times for them last season, and the team was 13-7 in those contests. ... Maggette, who turned 29 on Wednesday, was the Clippers' leading scorer in three of his eight seasons with them - including last season, when Brand missed the team's first 74 games after tearing his left Achilles' tendon in an offseason workout. ... Jackson received a technical foul from referee Derrick Stafford in the first quarter for arguing a backcourt violation. ... Warriors F Al Harrington missed his fifth straight game because of a lower back strain.
