The Clippers are devoid of a true star, a prerequisite for winning in the NBA playoffs, and they’ve got players on their roster with pasts full of injuries. But those are tomorrow’s problems. The present is pretty fun.
The Clippers won their second-straight game over elite NBA teams, beating the best of the best, the Golden State Warriors, Monday night at Staples.
Sure, the Warriors didn’t have Steph Curry, but the Warriors still had the three best players in the game wearing their latest alternate jersey. And the Clippers weathered a Klay Thompson flurry late in the fourth quarter, keeping their composure until they put the game away in overtime.
