Ivica Zubac finishes with 23 points and 17 rebounds as the Clippers defeat the Warriors 112-104 after Golden State loses Stephen Curry to injury late.
For the third straight time to start the season, the Clippers were in a game too close for comfort that challenged their composure. They have managed to withstand similar challenges over the last two games, and on Sunday night the Clippers pulled out a 112-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center. Of the four Clippers players who scored in double figures, center Ivica Zubac was the most dominant.
James Harden had 23 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds, Norman Powell had 20 points and Derrick Jones Jr. scored 18. The Warriors tried to mount a comeback late without Stephen Curry, who left the game in the fourth quarter with a sprained left ankle. The Clippers knew their defense would be tested in a far different way than in their first two games. Golden State entered Sunday leading the NBA in scoring, averaging 133.5 points per game. They're averaging 99.
