The Warriors lost 121-113 to the Los Angeles Clippers at Crypto.com Arena on Thursday night, the same result as the opening game of Draymond Green’s prior suspension this season. When Green has missed or been sent off from a game this season, the Warriors are currently 3-9.

One Splash Brother made his shot, while another one faltered. This season, Steph Curry has been the positive side of that equation a lot. Not right now. Curry missed ten of his thirteen 3-point attempts while scoring 17 points on 5-of-17 shooting.

On the other hand, Klay Thompson finished with a season-high 30 points on 9 of 15 shots and 8 of 12 from behind the 3-point line.

James Harden and Kawhi Leonard of the Clippers scored 20 points in the second half and 35 points in the first half combined. Amir Coffey, on the other hand, scored eighteen points on six of fifteen shots and made four of his eleven 3-point attempts. Coffey averages 1.3 points a game and his previous season high was six points.

After losing yet another close game, the Warriors’ record in critical situations is at 9-11.

The seventh consecutive road defeat for the Warriors has three lessons to be learned.
