Golden State Warriors News

ESPN's projected win total this season for- The Warriors: 63 wins The Lakers: 36 wins

If you told me the Warriors would win the turnover battle 7-to-20, I would have made a pretty comfortable assumption they would win this game. But the 10-of-41 from deep completely offset what was their best night protecting the ball.

Clippers hold on after that missed fadeaway from Jimmy Butler. Hard-fought comeback falls short with Steph Curry forced to watch from the bench.

🏀 MONDAY'S FINAL SCORES 🏀 Kawhi Leonard and the @LAClippers win a tight finish at home against the Warriors! Kobe Sanders: 20 PTS (career-high), 7 REB, 3 AST John Collins: 18 PTS, 4 REB, 3 BLK, 3 3PM Kris Dunn: 16 PTS, 6 AST

Fought to the finish.

Warriors got a chance to walk it off. No Steph Curry. No Steve Kerr. Not sure the last time they’ve been in a situation like that. Let’s see what Terry Stotts draws up.

Curry’s fouled out. Obvious foul and that might doom their comeback hopes.

Curry cuts it to 1 with back-to-back threes. Been him and Jimmy Butler carrying the offense tonight.

STEPHEN. CURRY. It's a one-point game in L.A.

Hard to win games when that group is a combined 6-of-24 shooting and 3-of-12 from deep. The one guy they got something out of off the bench is GP2. 14 points, 7/10 FGs.

The Warriors just don’t have the offense tonight which is a shame given how well they’ve played defensively. 7-of-36 from deep (19.4%). Remains a big problem for them.

Terry Stotts time!

Steve Kerr just got tossed. And just it’s been brewing the entire game but it finally boiled over. Lot of frustration over the officiating, particularly on Steph Curry’s shots.

The “Let’s put Gui Santos into the fourth quarter completely cold and thrive” card from Steve Kerr is lowkey one of his most impressive coaching things he’s ever conceived of. Cause it’s genuinely worked since he started doing it recently.

Now he got his ankle rolled up on a bit after that Kawhi layup. Looks like Kawhi’s foot got tangled with Draymond’s heel, causing the ankle to roll. Rough night physically for him.

Back after the break

Looks like Draymond Green hit his head diving for that ball. Also grimacing while grabbing at his lower back. Still in the bench, shaken up.

9-0 run with this Curry, Butler, Green, Richard, Melton unit. Kerr’s going to that lineup more and more.

All five of the Clippers’ 3-pointers are from the corners. Warriors gave allowed them to shoot 5-of-7 from the most efficient area on the floor. The Clippers are 0-of-5 everywhere else.

That De’Anthony Melton-Will Richard combo off the bench is just about the only thing that looked encouraging in that first quarter.
