OAKLAND -- An uncharacteristic mixture of puzzlement, indignation and exasperation occasionally flared up among the Warriors during the game Wednesday night and surely was present in their locker room afterward.
They’ve lost at home to vastly inferior teams before -- the Hornets, Nuggets and Kings, to name three -- but this 125-106 loss to a shadow of a Clippers team they’d beaten 12 consecutive times, including last week in LA, seemed particularly annoying.
It felt as if the Warriors knew this was more than the absences of Stephen Curry, who was sidelined by injury, and Klay Thompson, who was designated for rest.
