The Golden State Warriors had a chance to eliminate the Los Angeles Clippers out of the NBA playoffs in front of their own crowd but the visitors, led by Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams, displayed a brave performance and deservedly forced Game 6 in L.A. Despite a loss, Stephen Curry sets a new playoff record as he scored his 400th three-pointer, while in other news, James Harden guided his Houston Rockets to the second round and Tim Duncan is celebrating his birthday.
Win or go home
The Los Angeles Clippers made another upset as they secured a 129-121 win over the reigning champion Golden State on the road and now they have an opportunity to force Game 7 with a victory at Staples Center. Montrezl Harrell was one of the heroes and here you can see what he said after the duel at Oracle Arena.

Back to LA!
Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell played a huge part in the Clippers win over the Golden State Warriors as they combined for 57 points, 12 assists, and nine rebounds. Sweet Lou said that they fought to live another day, while Harrell was less wordy as he just shouted “Back to LA!” while running past the reporters.
