Stephen Curry delivered in the clutch, drilling a go-ahead three in the final minutes to cap a furious fourth-quarter rally and silence the home crowd.

The Clippers looked poised to close it out after leading most of the way, but Golden State refused to fold. Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, and Gui Santos sparked a late surge that flipped the momentum.

The Warriors grabbed their first lead since the second quarter when Al Horford knocked down a clutch triple with just over two minutes remaining. Brook Lopez briefly tied the game at the line, but Curry answered with a dagger from beyond the arc.

Golden State’s defense sealed the win late, as Draymond Green came up with back-to-back key deflections and steals, including a disrupted inbound play intended for Kawhi Leonard that led to a transition opportunity for Brandin Podziemski.
