Warriors Rip Old Pal J-Rich’s Bobcats
OAKLAND, Calif. - Monta Ellis scored 21 points, Stephen Jackson had 19 and the Warriors made Jason Richardson miserable in his return to Golden State with a 127-96 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night.With new acquisition Chris Webber watching from the bench, the Warriors rolled to a 34-point lead in the third quarter of their ninth win in 12 games. Baron Davis had just five points and six assists in his first game since being snubbed for an All-Star spot on the Western Conference’s loaded team, but Golden State needed little help from its catalyst to finish off the wounded Bobcats.Richardson had 10 points on 2-of-9 shooting in a dismal return to the arena where he became the Golden State fans’ most consistent favorite during six seasons with the club. Golden State traded Richardson to Charlotte last summer after he helped to end the Warriors’ 13-year playoff drought, and he got multiple standing ovations in his first game back.
