WARRIORS 98 CLIPPERS 111...the "Circle City STRANGLER" D-GRANGER joins 'Game Night with BLAKE" as CLIPS smash G.S.W....LOGO WATCH with the Pacific Division Title Seekers #LOBcity #CLIPSnation #CLIPPERnation

A see saw affair for almost three frames as the Clips took control, late in the 3rd frame and never looked back. They did it behind monster effort from their bench led by their newest acquisition. The Warriors didn't get any relief from the bench and that cost them dearly in this one.

With the Warriors leading 56-54 at the break the Clips came out in the 3rd frame playing their game to the tune of a 84-79 "W". That lead stayed close as G.S.W. down by as many as four 93-89 with just under six minutes to go could not get any closer. The Clips walk away with not only a "W" but a Pacific Division Win and that bodes well in the standings.

Blake Griffin led the Clips with 30 points as he hauled down fifteen Oranges. He led all five starters in double figures with CP3 just missing a Triple-Double at 16 points, twelve assist, and eight boards. The story though was Danny Granger dba "Circle City Strangler" netting 18 points off the bench. "A Tribe called Clippers Bench" outscored the Warriors Bench 33-20 and in a game that is close that was the biggest stat.  

The Warriors were led by Klay Thompson's 26 points and and David Lee's 20 points and seven boards. Steph Curry added 13 points and eleven helpers with five boards. The Warriors just did not have enough Offense nor Players it seemed to match the Clips.

Clips move to 46-20 and the Warriors losing for the first time in nine games falls to 41-25...that is five full games back of the Clips.
