The Clippers refuse to let the Golden State Warriors to finish the series in 129-121 win.
Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry, right, drives the ball against Clippers' Danilo Gallinari, left, and Landry Shamet in the first half in Game 5 of a first-round NBA playoff series on Wednesday in Oakland. But in 20 seasons as an NBA coach, he’s learned never to get comfortable, too. Elimination games can reveal unforeseen things, and the Clippers' coach had witnessed strong teams reach their breaking point and underdogs claw and scrape.
Golden State’s Kevin Durant scored a game-high 45 points, Stephen Curry had 24 and Klay Thompson 22. The Warriors had been 6-0 this season when that trio combined for 90-plus points, but the first blemish came Wednesday.
Ending quarters has been a struggle, but doubled Durant early during the quarter’s final possessions and forced his teammates’ shots to beat them. When they couldn’t, they entered the final quarter with 104 points, leading by 10 – only the third time in Warriors coach Steve Kerr’s four seasons that his team had allowed 100 or more points through three quarters, according to ESPN.
