NBA Sunday: Klay Thompson leads Warriors over Knicks, Clippers crush Bulls

Against the Bulls on Sunday, Crawford was running the offense and Johnson and Rivers were hitting open shot after open shot from deep. Rivers was 5 of 6 from three and Johnson was 3 of 5. The Clippers moved the ball at will with crisp passes and sharp cuts against a Bulls defense that had no answer for the fast-moving Clippers.

The Bulls, meanwhile, are on an opposite trajectory of the Clippers -- they’re in free fall. Chicago has lost eight of 12 games and cannot buy a bucket, struggling to make any shot outside of the paint. Sunday’s game against the Clippers was no different. They were 17 of 31 from inside the paint in the first half, but only 4 of 17 from outside it. They trailed by only four, but the Clippers obliterated them in the final two quarters as the Bulls hit 5 of 15 from deep for the game.

It didn’t work. He was called for a foul — and Curry hit a shot that didn’t count after the whistle. And the Warriors blew out the Knicks.

It did leave a mark, though:

Chris Bosh is the most self-aware player in the NBA. With his photobombing and random screaming, any interview with Bosh is a treat. This is true even when Bosh doesn’t necessarily want to be seen.

After the win, Bosh threw his towel at the camera to cover it up, except he only blocked part of the lens. Bosh instantly notices this and pulls down the towel. There! Now no one can see Bosh!

But do you know what wasn’t that close, this free throw attempt against the New York Knicks. Green will probably beat himself up after this too, but shouldn’t feel too bad about this one. The miss might have been caused by the loud whistle.

Unstoppable: Kawhi Leonard can’t stop Stephen Curry and we’re all doomed

But great shooting doesn’t mean you’re immune to a case of the yips.

In Redick’s defense, he came down and nailed a three with a hand in his face on the next play. Shooters keep on shooting -- even when they blow a wide-open layup.

Rose’s hesitation step lulls Paul into a sense of hope and then bam, Rose is gone. It’s vintage Rose -- and proof that he’s still has the ability to be one of the most explosive players in the game.

Someone taking the blame for how a game went certainly isn’t new, but someone explaining exactly what happened and in such an honest way definitely is.
