Though they managed to keep it close the entire game, their efforts were not enough as the Warriors came out on top, 129-127. Stephen Curry exploded for 42 points on 12-of-22 from the field, 6-of-15 from downtown, and 12-of-13 from the free throw line. He also converted on the game-winning lay-up. Kevin Durant chipped in 35 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks.

It was a heartbreaking loss for the Clippers, who have been impressive this early in the season. Some believe that the team was about the press the reset button but so far, they have exceeded all expectations and have a 19-14 record. They have a chance to redeem themselves on Wednesday when they go up against the Sacramento Kings.
