It felt like déjà vu, the LA Clippers had stood toe-to-toe with the Warriors throughout the first quarter only to be undone by an onslaught during the second. Two games played, two big deficits going into the half. Except this game was different — DeMarcus Cousins had already gone down to a quad injury which had caused GSW to rally.
In his absence, Kevon Looney was impressing while the refs were calling fouls on what felt like almost every play. No longer could the Clippers rely on Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell to expose Boogie on defense like they did to great effect in game one, no, this time they were down big in their historically great opponents’ home.
