The Warriors encountered another setback as the Clippers narrowly secured a 113-112 victory, obtaining their first lead of the game with a decisive 3-pointer from Paul George in the final nine seconds on Saturday.

 

Paul George spearheaded the Clippers with an impressive display, contributing 25 points, six rebounds, and six assists. James Harden added 21 points, and Kawhi Leonard chipped in with 20, keeping the game tightly contested. The Clippers sought redemption after a recent 120-114 loss to the Warriors just two days prior in San Francisco. Despite a 10-point deficit early in the fourth quarter, the Clippers staged a comeback.

 

With the Warriors holding a 111-106 lead and 1:22 remaining, Moses Moody’s successful free throws offered some relief. However, Harden’s scoring efforts brought the Clippers within striking distance, setting the stage for Paul George’s decisive 3-pointer that secured the narrow victory.

 

Stephen Curry showcased his skills, leading the Warriors with 22 points and 11 assists in his 900th NBA game. Draymond Green contributed 21 points and nine rebounds, while Moses Moody added 21 points and an impressive 9-of-10 performance from the free-throw line.

 

In a riveting conclusion, Draymond Green’s potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer fell short after a timeout, sealing the Clippers’ hard-fought win. The Warriors demonstrated their three-point prowess, making a total of 17, with four each from Green, Curry, and Klay Thompson.
