The Warriors faced another setback as the Clippers narrowly edged them 113-112, securing their first lead of the game with a pivotal 3-pointer from Paul George in the closing nine seconds on Saturday.

Paul George led the Clippers with an impressive performance, contributing 25 points, six rebounds, and six assists, while James Harden added 21 points, and Kawhi Leonard chipped in with 20.

The game remained tightly contested, with the Clippers seeking redemption after a recent 120-114 loss to the Warriors just two days prior in San Francisco. Despite being down by 10 points early in the fourth quarter, the Clippers clawed their way back into contention.

With the Warriors holding a 111-106 lead and 1:22 remaining, Moses Moody’s successful free throws provided some breathing room. However, Harden’s scoring effort brought the Clippers within striking distance before Paul George’s clutch 3-pointer secured the narrow victory.

Stephen Curry showcased his skill set, 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 dramatic finish, after a timeout, Draymond Green’s potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer fell short, sealing the Clippers’ hard-fought win. The Warriors showcased their prowess from beyond the arc, making a total of 17 three-pointers, with four each from Green, Curry, and Klay Thompson.
