In many ways, this was a game that summarizes the entire Clippers’ season. Before the game, they received news that a key rotation player (Avery Bradley) was out with an injury. During the game, they lost yet another crucial player (Danilo Gallinari) to a random injury, and had to scramble to replace him. Despite a lack of talent and sometimes weak execution, the Clippers fought the whole night, and made a competitive game out of a contest that should have been a blowout. They trailed the entire way, and at one point in the second quarter, down 46-28, the game looked like it could have turned into a rout.
Despite Spirited Effort, Clippers Fall to Warriors 134-127
