Warriors Complete Thrilling Comeback Against Clippers

The Golden State Warriors, fueled by Stephen Curry's 35 points, including 27 in the second half, staged an electrifying comeback to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers 126-121. Al Horford's clutch three-pointers in the fourth quarter and Curry's tie-breaking three-pointer with 50.4 seconds left sealed the victory for the Warriors, who overcame a 13-point deficit in the final quarter. The win propels the Warriors into the next round of the NBA play-in tournament, where they will face the Phoenix Suns. Kawhi Leonard scored 21 points for the Clippers, who missed the playoffs for the first time since 2022, while Bennedict Mathurin led Los Angeles with 23 points. The Warriors' victory, despite a 37-45 regular season record and the loss of Jimmy Butler, showcases their postseason resilience. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers secured the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs by beating the Orlando Magic 109-97, with Tyrese Maxey scoring 31 points. The 76ers will face the Boston Celtics in the first round, starting Sunday.
