The Golden State Warriors spent most of the night looking like the second best team. They were soft both inside and outside, and didn’t execute their own game when given the chance. And yet...they almost came out of Staple Center with a win.
Instead, they head back to Oakland with their third loss now in the books.
Credit to the Clippers, they had six players score in a balanced attack that came from all over the place. Montrezl Harrell had the most dominant-feeling 23 point and eight rebound game I’ve ever seen; Lou Williams (25 points) was unstoppable in overtime.
