All five Warriors starters scored in double figures but it wasn’t nearly enough as the Clippers won by 10.
Here are three observations from the game that puts Golden State’s record at 29-29 at the All-Star break:The Warriors trailed by one, 90-89, after Paul George drained two free throws with 4:35 remaining in the third quarter. That’s when disaster struck.
The Clippers spent the next six minutes outscoring the Warriors 20-4. While Golden State was committing four turnovers and missing nine of their 11 field goal attempts, LA was shooting 7-of-12 from the field and going turnover-free. The substitution pattern – sending three starters to the bench at once – surely left something to be desired. On the other hand, Thompson was on a strict minutes restriction and, therefore, being closely monitored.For the Warriors: Moses Moody, Kuminga, Jerome and Lamb. For the Clippers: Norman Powell, Eric Gordon, Mason Plumlee, Nicolas Batum, and Bones Hyland.
After falling behind by 10 early in the second quarter, Golden State responded with an 18-7 run to take a 43-42 lead with 6:46 left in the half. Jerome and Kuminga accounted for 12 of the 18 points.
