One of the quirks of the 2020-21 NBA season is the two-game set in which two teams play each other twice in succession at the same location. Today will be the first time the Clippers take part in one of those sets, as they face the Warriors for the second time in three days, again in San Francisco.
The prior meeting went swimmingly for the Clippers, who debuted their full rotation for the first time this season. The game seemed to turn on a Draymond Green flagrant foul on Kawhi Leonard in the fourth quarter, which galvanized both Leonard and the Clippers to close out the Warriors late.
