In another poor shooting night for the Clippers, a late game push by the third stringers turned a blow-out into a more respectable final score. Despite their efforts, however, the Clippers fell to the Warriors, 112-97.
It was a poor shooting start for both teams. Through the first six minutes, the Clippers and Warriors shot 30% and 29.4% from the field, respectively. And while the Warriors made up for lost time in the second quarter, the Clippers struggles continued. They entered halftime shooting 42% and 26.1%, respectively.
After a clear path foul, which the Warriors converted into five points and a doubling their lead, the Clippers found themselves at a double-digit deficit halfway through the second quarter.
