The biggest lead the Golden State Warriors were able to manage against a healthy Los Angeles Clippers squad — with newly acquired trade pieces to play around with — was six points.
At the 4:46 mark of the third quarter, that lead was trimmed down to only one point, but the Warriors were still in prime position to hold off the Clippers and spring the kind of upset that gives them much-needed momentum heading into the All-Star break.
What also happened during the 4:46 mark was Steve Kerr pulling out Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, two of his most battle-tested veterans.
