GAME LEADERS

The Warriors came back from a 17-point deficit and pulled out a 110-106 road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. It was another strong second half performance by Splash Brothers Stephen Curry (27 points and four assists) and Klay Thompson (25 points and four assists) that propelled the Dubs to their 10th straight win and completed their four-game road trip with an undefeated record. David Lee tallied 17 points and seven rebounds, while Marreese Speights added 13 points off the bench in the win.

Playing without Draymond Green who sat out the game due to injury, the Warriors knew they were going to be in for a challenge, and the game certainly began that way. The Clippers scored the first seven points of the game and jumped out to a 15-8 lead with 6:41 left in the first quarter. A 6-0 Los Angeles run would put the Clippers up 14 with a minute remaining in the first frame before David Lee got a layup to send the teams into the second quarter with the Clippers holding a 30-18 advantage. After Festus Ezeli brought the Warriors within eight points, the Clippers responded with an 11-2 run to achieve their largest lead of the game at 44-27 with 4:48 remaining in the first half. Perhaps sensing the game was getting out of reach, the Dubs immediately responded with a 12-2 run of their own to climb back within single digits. The two teams traded baskets the rest of the way and entered halftime with the Clippers leading 53-46.
