The Warriors continued to chip away at the lead in the fourth quarter, but they could never get closer than six points. The Clippers made their free throws down the stretch and held on for the win.

Clippers' Defense Shines Again

The Clippers' defense was once again a key factor in the win. The Clippers held the Warriors to 40.2% shooting from the field and forced 14 turnovers.

The Clippers have now won three straight games to start the season. They will face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night.
