The Golden State Warriors led the scoreboard all game against the Los Angeles Clippers… except for the last 9.2 seconds. Paul George’s late three-pointer gave the Clippers the 113-112 win and put the Warriors entire season, once again, into question. Head coach Steve Kerr was at a loss for words in the post-game press conference.

It’s the second time the Warriors blow a big lead. On Saturday evening, they led by as much as 22. Last Tuesday’s loss against the Sacramento Kings had them hold (and give up) a 24-point lead. For Kerr, however, the Sacramento meltdown was justified, while the loss against the Clippers truly stumps him.
Steve Kerr, ‘hurt’ by the Warriors loss to Clippers
“It felt like we deserved this one,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “We took care of the ball. We kept them off the foul line. We showed poise when they made their runs, so this one hurts way more than the Sacramento game. In the Sacramento game, we deserved to lose with all the crazy turnovers and fouling. This was a clean game that we played. Our guys brought spirit, effort, energy. I like this version of our team. This is the team I expect going forward, but no question, this hurts.”

Golden State had gotten off to an hot start, with Draymond Green hitting 4 of 5 three-pointers in the first half. In Steph Curry’s 900th NBA game, he led the team with 22 points and 11 assists. The Warriors star, however, missed a jump shot while the Warriors were clinging to a 112-110 lead late in the fourth quarter.
Clippers star Paul George, who hit a stepback 3-pointer for LA’s first lead of the game, applauded his team’s mental fortitude after the comeback win. “We just didn’t give up,” he said. “That’s what it takes.”
The Golden State Warriors currently have a 9-11 record, and find themselves as the 11th seed in the Western Conference.
