“It hasn’t really changed since he’s gotten here,” Thompson said. “He’s just being himself. That’s a killer and a guy that can give you 50 [points] at any given night and can take over games and do it on both ends of the floor. He’s being a great leader.”. The Warriors have not found a dependable starting center. Once again, Damian Jones labored with early foul trouble (two) in limited minutes (11). Jordan Bell (zero points, four rebounds) offered little, and Kevon Looney (five points, six rebounds, provided his normal energy and a layup that cut the Raptors’ lead to 114-112 with 1:40 left. The Warriors presumably will have more stability at that center spot once DeMarcus Cousins returns later this season from a left Achilles tendon injury.
