Stephen Curry delivered a vintage takeover to keep the Golden State Warriors’ season alive, leading a late surge as the Warriors erased a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit to edge the Los Angeles Clippers and advance in the NBA’s play-in tournament.
Golden State trailed deep into the final period before flipping the game with a decisive closing push, with Curry at the center of the rally. The Warriors’ comeback turned a double-digit deficit into a narrow victory, sending them through to the next stage of the play-in.
Season extended in win-or-go-home setting
The play-in format leaves little margin for error, and the Warriors responded under pressure by finding another gear late. The Clippers, in control for much of the fourth quarter, were unable to hold off Golden State’s closing run as the Warriors executed down the stretch to secure the win.
With the result, Golden State advances in the play-in tournament, while the Clippers’ path becomes more difficult after letting a late lead slip away.
