The L.A. Clippers decided to slow the game down a little and pick their spots going through "Nerf Rim Duo" Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. It's not rocket science the Warriors cannot handle the Clips in the painted area and Clips Lead Man Doc Rivers made G.S.W. pay for playing Small Bay and for longtime Warrior Fans that means "Nellie Ball".
A 46-43 Clips lead at the break quickly turned into a Clips 75-64 lead after three. The Warriors playing inspired came roaring back like the Clips though they would from an unlikely source in Warriors Stretch 5 Draymond "Lawnmower Man" Green of Izzone Fame. Green was big in the 3rd showing his offensive versatility and game along with handling or trying to handle Blake Griffin and DeAndre in the paint. The Warriors cut the lead all the way down to 97-96 Clips with under ten seconds remaining and after CP3 hit one of two free throws with 8.6 left Curry was going for the win and his potential Game-Winning Money ball was short...Clips 98-96 final.
Blake led the Clips and a had a game-high 32 points and eight boards going 15 for 25 all high-percentage. He led four Clips Starters in double figures as DeAndre added 14 points and hauled in twenty-two Oranges with five blocks. CP3 chipped in with 15 points and ten helpers with Jamal 205 off the bench with 13 points. Clips shot just 10 of 23 from the Stripe as the Warriors shot 16 of 24.
Dub Nation was led by Klay Thompson's 26 points and six boards. Steph added 16 points and some fifteen helpers but shot just 5 for 12 as Warrior Nation was wondering why Steph asserted himself late and the game dictated that as he was locked in with worrying about CP3 on the defensive end. Draymond had 13 points grabbed eleven boards and blocked four shots. G.S.W. was just 6 for 31 from the Arc and that was the difference in the game.
Clips grab home court back as we head to Game #4 Sunday at 4:30pm ET...
