The Golden State Warriors pulled off an extraordinary comeback win over the Los Angeles Clippers, with Stephen Curry scoring 27 of his 35 points in the second half. Al Horford hit four crucial 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, helping the Warriors erase a 13-point deficit and secure a 126-121 victory. Curry's seventh 3-pointer broke a tie with 50.4 seconds remaining, capping off a 16-6 run for the Warriors. Despite a strong performance from Kawhi Leonard, who scored 21 points, and Bennedict Mathurin, who led the Clippers with 23 points, the Warriors' late surge proved too much for Los Angeles.
The win advances the Warriors to the next round, where they will face the Phoenix Suns on Friday. Meanwhile, the Clippers' loss marks their first missed playoff appearance since 2022. In other NBA news, the Philadelphia 76ers secured the No.
