Down by 23 points in the second quarter, the Warriors rally behind Stephen Curry's 40-point performance to topple the Clippers 124-117.
LOS ANGELES -- There's a dirty secret about the Golden State Warriors-Los Angeles Clippers rivalry, the most pleasantly acrimonious feud in basketball: It's pretty lopsided, at least in the Steve Kerr era. Now, Golden State has claimed five of the last six meetings. Thursday night's thrilling 124-117 Warriors victory was a reminder that, for all the Clippers' will, talent and effort, they're playing from behind -- even when they're ahead.
"Even when they were hitting everything, it still never felt like they were just controlling the game," Draymond Green said of the massive 23-point Los Angeles lead that slowly evaporated under this hyped game's bright lights.
