That's the second blown 20+ point lead for the Warriors this week. Clippers come from 22 down, take only lead of the game with 8.9 seconds left. Warriors continue to sputter right when it seems like they might be gathering traction. Record: 9-11. Outscored 65-45 in 2nd half.

Clippers pull off their biggest win of the season, a comeback from down 22 to beat the Warriors. Steph drove and passed to Draymond, who missed what would have been the game-winning 3. Huge win for the Clippers, who now have a few days off before hosting the defending champs.

PG GIVES THE CLIPPERS THEIR FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME WITH 8.9 SECONDS LEFT ‼️ Warriors-Clippers | Live on the NBA App 📲 https://t.co/tSApBrLGLp https://t.co/kPYOWZwXFW
Could this be a huge turning point for the new-look Clippers? Paul George just hit a go-ahead 3 with 8.9 seconds left to give Clippers a 113-112 lead. They have fought entire second half to come back from 22 down. Warriors' ball.
First Clippers lead of the game comes with 8.9 seconds left. Paul George hits a transition 3 over Klay Thompson. Warriors were up 22 in the first half, 19 at halftime, four in the final minute. In danger of another blown should-be win.
Clippers showing fight, cutting a 22-point deficit down to two before Klay Thompson hit two big shots to end the third. Warriors up 92-85 heading into fourth.
That's a 37-25 third quarter for the Clippers. It was trending even worse for the Warriors. But Klay Thompson closed quarter with a long 2 and an ambitious transition 3 when strategy suggests he should've run clock. Made both. Warriors up seven heading to fourth.
The Clippers are making the Warriors look fast and athletic. For two games now.
Repeat from a couple days ago: I don't know how this game will turn out, but the Clippers are a very good matchup for the Warriors.
The Warriors get the W and defeat the Clippers! 🌉 https://t.co/o0P16YcjJ0
Warriors beat the Clippers 120-114, 22-point game from Klay Thompson, including a 10-point run in 1:30 in the third. More to come from Chase Center!
Warriors get needed home win over the Clippers. Did it without Wiggins, Paul, Payton. Record: 9-10. They play the Clippers again in LA on Saturday afternoon. Seven double digit scorers tonight Curry 26 Klay 22 Kuminga 17 Moody 13 Draymond 13 Saric 13 Podziemski 13
Clippers get 3 layups in a row off nice sequences in the halfcourt. About as good as their offense has looked this year. But they lose the sequence 7-5 with missed FT by Russ and 7 points by Klay
Clippers are 4/16 from 3, Warriors 11/24, but Clips are within 4 early 3rd. A hidden reason: Clippers have only 1 turnover.
Clippers look like a team that has played 5 games in 7 nights. Warriors MUST capitalize with a win tonight. Start with not combining Curry with a tiny guy next to him on D (CoJo). JK/Saric lineup has not failed them tonight but if you give LAC momentum, this lead can evaporate.
Clippers have been disastrous at rebounding in this game. Warriors will take that all day

Clippers trio handled business vs. the Kings 💼: PG: 19 PTS, 7 AST Harden: 26 PTS, 6 AST, 5 STL Kawhi: 34 PTS, 9 REB, 14-18 FG Most combined PTS scored this season 🔥 https://t.co/c9SNF7EkPG
Warriors -4.5 against the Clippers tm 😭
This is a good glimpse of what the Clippers defense can be. Paul George fights through a screen and stops the Malik Monk drive down the sideline. The Kings attempt to go middle, but Kawhi sags off Harrison Barnes to cut off the drive and James Harden’s in place for the steal. https://t.co/JVfKy8BgSE
Kawhi buries a baseline jumper and skips off to the locker room. Clippers are up 72-50 at break. Harden - 19 pts, 4 3's, 3 rebounds, 2 asts. George: 17 pts, 4 3's 4 asts. Kawhi: 16 pts, 6 rebs. The trio has 52 of the Clippers' 72 points.
Might be best 1st half Clippers have seen from James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Harden has 19 and has shot 7-for-10. PG has 17 points with 4 triples. Kawhi has made 5-of-8 shots, has 14 points and has made presence felt defensively. This is what Clips wanted to see.
