The Golden State Warriors let a lead slip away during the fourth quarter; as such, they fell to the LA Clippers on Wednesday. The loss has dented Golden State’s recent resurgence and likely put them under pressure to secure a win against the Utah Jazz on Thursday.
Klay Thompson‘s decision to foul Russell Westbrook with 39 seconds remaining and the Warriors trailing by three points is likely part of why the team lost. However, Golden State’s continued inability to hold onto a lead stood out as their biggest flaw. Of course, the Clippers are one of the best teams in the NBA this season; losing to them isn’t the type of result that will set off alarm bells.
Nevertheless, the Warriors will likely want to turn their attention toward the Jazz as they look to enter the All-Star break on a good note. However, before we begin focusing on the upcoming game, it’s worth taking one more look at how the team performed against the Clippers.
Here are the Warriors top three statistical performers from their Feb. 14 loss.
