The Golden State Warriors came out on top with a final score of 120-114 against the Los Angeles Clippers. A lackluster performance from Paul George and other Clippers stars helped the Warriors lock in and run away with the game.
Even though Stephen Curry led the team in scoring, it was Klay Thompson’s late-game outburst that helped the Warriors seal the deal. So, after the game, the Warriors trio took some time to talk to the announcers.

He also went on to add, “The chemistry you two are building up is like us three, and I feel greatness ahead of you guys. I’m proud of Kelenna and Bob especially.”
As soon as Thompson said that, both Curry and Draymond Green could not stop their laughter while standing beside him. Even the announcers, Bob Fitzgerlad and Kelenna David Azubuike, were amused by Thompson turning the tables on them all of a sudden.

The Golden State Warriors had their foot on the pedal right from the start. The team did not let the Clippers have any breathing room throughout all four quarters of the game.
Los Angeles stars Paul George and James Harden both struggled from the field a bit. This led the Warriors to capitalize on their shortcomings and run away with the game. Curry finished the night leading the Warriors with 26 points.
But Klay Thompson coming alive in the fourth, finishing the game with 22 points was what made the difference. Along with 17 points from Jonathan Kuminga off the bench.
