The Golden State Warriors achieved a stunning comeback win over the Los Angeles Clippers, with Stephen Curry scoring 27 of his 35 points in the second half. Al Horford made four crucial 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, helping the Warriors overcome a 13-point deficit and secure a 126-121 victory.
This win advances the Warriors in the NBA's play-in tournament, with Curry's seventh 3-pointer breaking a tie with just 50.4 seconds left to play. The Warriors will now face Phoenix, with the winner moving on to compete against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round. Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points for the Clippers, who missed the playoffs for the first time since 2022.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Orlando Magic 109-97, securing the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs despite the absence of Joel Embiid, who recently underwent an emergency appendectomy. The 76ers will begin their first-round series against the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
