Coach cproud, of his team's composure to hold off a comeback from Golden State
-
The Los Angeles Clippers have great respect for the Golden State Warriors, but that did not stop them from focusing on what needed to be done at Intuit Dome on Nov 18.
Playing in front of their home crowd, they held off a furious late rally to upset the pace-setting Warriors 102-99 in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Norman Powell led the Clippers scoring with 23 points, including five three-pointers, as the Los Angeles club improved to 8-7 for the season after downing the Warriors (10-3).
The Clippers led by 15 points late in the second quarter, only to see the Warriors chip away at the lead to narrow the margin to three points at the end of the third quarter. They dug deep to hold off Golden State in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors missed a three-point attempt from Gary Payton II on the buzzer that would have tied it to force overtime.
Stephen Curry led the Warriors scorers with 26 points, with Andrew Wiggins adding 22.
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said he had rallied his team at the end of the third quarter.
