The Los Angeles Clippers shocked the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday, winning Game 5 of their first round playoff series 129-121. With the victory, the Clippers forced Game 6, and the Warriors lost the opportunity to clinch a second round matchup against the Houston Rockets.
Kevin Durant was brilliant. Unfortunately for the Warriors, so were Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, and Patrick Beverley. Draymond Green played hard - but the entire Clippers squad played even harder.
It was a bad, bad loss, and now the Warriors - massive favorites entering the series - need a road win on Friday night to avoid a first round Game 7.
