The Golden State Warriors faced the Los Angeles Clippers in a game where the Warriors were favored by 4.5 points. The Clippers struggled with rebounding, but managed to make a comeback from a 22-point deficit to secure a 113-112 victory over the Warriors. Paul George's game-winning three-pointer was pivotal in the Clippers' win. Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 22 points, but their lead evaporated in the second half. The Clippers' win marked a significant turnaround for them, and the Warriors suffered their second blown 20+ point lead in a week.
Clippers turn game around with a 40-21 second quarter. Nuggets needed some vintage two-man game from Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic to get out of a lull.

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.

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.
Steph Curry closes the second quarter with two rainbow 3s and a high-arcing mid-ranger. It was a personal 8-0 run in 52 seconds. Bumped the Warriors lead over the Clippers from 11 to 19 at halftime.
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.

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
Not good - Warriors are scoring but not getting any stops. Momentum is on the Clippers' side right now.
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.
Overall good half from the Warriors. Defended well without Wiggins/Payton. Got some bench punch from Podziemski, Saric and Kuminga: 10, 10, 9 points. But they continue to close quarters poorly. They're up 61-50 on Clippers, but lead was 16. Clippers 5-0 run in last 48 seconds.
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
We'll see how this turns out, but the Clippers are a good matchup for the Warriors right now, the same way MIN is a very bad matchup.
