Warriors Complete Thrilling Comeback to Defeat Clippers

Stephen Curry's explosive second-half performance, which included 27 points, propelled the Golden State Warriors to a stunning comeback victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, 126-121, in the NBA play-in tournament on Wednesday. Al Horford's clutch three-point shooting in the fourth quarter also played a pivotal role in the Warriors' win. Despite trailing by 13 points in the fourth quarter, Golden State finished the game on a 16-6 run, with Curry's seventh three-pointer breaking a tie with just 50.4 seconds remaining.
