Golden State Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg apologized for chasing stats and playing what he called "unethical hoops" late in a 124-112 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, November 1. Lendeborg scored a career-high 37 points but stated he succumbed to peer pressure when attempting to reach the 40-point mark in the final minutes.
