Shorthanded Warriors Fall to Clippers Despite Late Comeback Push

Golden State, playing without Steph Curry and Draymond Green, showed resilience but dropped to .500 after a 102-92 loss to Los Angeles.

The Warriors, missing key players Steph Curry and Draymond Green, struggled offensively, shooting just 37% from the floor and 18% from three-point range.
Jonathan Kuminga led Golden State with a career-high 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, emerging as a bright spot in the loss.
Golden State's fourth-quarter defensive surge forced 12 turnovers and cut a 19-point deficit to just three, but the Clippers held on with a decisive late run.
The Clippers showcased a balanced attack, with six players scoring in double figures, including Norman Powell's 26 points and Ivica Zubac's double-double performance.
The Warriors have now lost 12 of their last 15 games, dropping to a 15-15 record, as they prepare to face the Phoenix Suns in the second game of a back-to-back.
