Quarter-by-Quarter Breakdown

Game Analysis: Perimeter Efficiency Makes the Difference

The Warriors paired volume with accuracy from long range, making 22 of 49 3-point attempts for 44.9%. The Clippers finished 14-for-39, or 35.9%. Golden State generated 66 points from beyond the arc, accounting for more than half of its scoring.

That perimeter advantage was part of a broader efficiency gap. Golden State shot 53.5% overall, converting 46 of 86 attempts, while Los Angeles made 40 of 91 for 44.0%. The Warriors also recorded 10 more assists than the Clippers, finishing with 32 to the visitors’ 22.

Los Angeles gained ground at the free-throw line, making 18 of 19 attempts compared with Golden State’s 10 of 14. That eight-point advantage helped offset some of the difference from deep, but it could not compensate for the Warriors’ superior field-goal production.

The second quarter remained the central turning point. Golden State’s 34-20 advantage in that period established a lead it still held at the end of the third, before another positive quarter completed the result.

Closing Context: Warriors Improve to 4-3

Golden State improved to 4-3 overall and 2-1 at home in the Western Conference regular-season race. The Clippers dropped to 1-5 and remained winless on the road at 0-4.
