3) Warriors came to play

Even though the Clippers had a very good game without Chris Paul, they might not have even had a chance with him. The Golden State Warriors right now are in a league of their own and our fears from last summer are finally becoming a reality.

Stephen Curry finally came back down to Earth, sort of. After coming off an insane 26 three-pointers made in the three previous games, Curry was only able to hit three of them off 10 attempts. However, a lot of their other players came to play.

The Warriors bench was able to hit 39 points against the LA Clippers and the starters didn’t miss a beat while also missing Draymond Green. With Kevin Durant producing a near triple-double, and Andre Iguodala putting up a highly efficient 13 points, four rebounds, four assists, and three steals, The Clippers didn’t have an answer for most of the game.

The Warriors on a nine game winning streak and not even missing a beat without a star in Draymond Green. With only one more regular season game left in this series, maybe Doc Rivers should try out other rotations to find a weakness in this divine looking Warriors team.
