Bennedict Mathurin had 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists off the bench, and the Clippers<\/a> defeated the Golden State Warriors 115-110 on Sunday<\/a> in a play-in tournament preview.<\/p>\n

The Clippers settled for the No. 9 seed<\/a> and will host the 10th-seeded Warriors on Wednesday after Portland beat Sacramento 122-110 to claim the eighth seed. The Clippers and Trail Blazers finished with identical 42-40 records, but Portland won the tiebreaker based on its better Western Conference record.<\/p>\n

The Clippers began the season 6-21 and rallied to extend their franchise-record streak of 15 seasons with a winning record, the longest active run in the NBA and fourth-longest in league history.<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry scored 24 points, going four for nine from three-point range, to lead the Warriors, who finished 37-45. Curry was limited to 29 minutes after playing in four of the last five games, having missed the previous 27 because of a right knee injury.<\/p>\n

The Clippers\u2019 bench outscored the Warriors\u2019 reserves 71-56. Besides Mathurin, Bogdan Bogdanovic had 17 points, tying his season high with five three-pointers, including three in a row in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

John Collins added 18 points and nine rebounds as one of six Clippers in double figures.<\/p>\n

Kawhi Leonard sat out for the Clippers to rest ankle and wrist injuries, while Draymond Green was out for the Warriors because of a bad back.<\/p>\n

The Clippers hit five threes in the fourth, when the Warriors had just one to end the game.<\/p>\n

The Warriors tied it five times in the third quarter, but the Clippers took an 83-81 lead into the fourth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bennedict Mathurin had 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists off the bench, and the Clippers defeated the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265010,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1732,43154,15998,6665,48,52,51,47,50,49,116046,1417,130,7556,5681,278,15192,14843,14920,13340,316],"class_list":{"0":"post-265009","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-bench","9":"tag-bennedict-mathurin","10":"tag-clipper","11":"tag-clippers","12":"tag-la","13":"tag-la-headlines","14":"tag-la-news","15":"tag-los-angeles","16":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","17":"tag-los-angeles-news","18":"tag-play-in-game","19":"tag-point","20":"tag-portland","21":"tag-rebound","22":"tag-record","23":"tag-season","24":"tag-seed","25":"tag-stephen-curry","26":"tag-warrior","27":"tag-warriors","28":"tag-wednesday"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
