SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors led the Los Angeles Clippers most of
Wednesday’s game, but blew a 15-point lead late for a 130-125
Valentine’s Day loss.

The Clippers outscored the Warriors 36-19 after an on-court kerfuffle
involving Mason Plumlee and Brandin Podziemski. Plumlee committed a hard
foul, hitting Brandin Podziemski’s arms while trying to get the ball out
of his hands, later deemed a Flagrant 1. Jonathan Kuminga was assessed a
technical foul for shoving Plumlee in defense after the hard foul.
Clippers head coach Ty Lue was ejected for receiving his second
technical foul of the game during the ensuing scrum.

That wasn’t the only on-court drama in the game. Clippers center Ivaca
Zubac elbowed Draymond Green in the head as both fought for a rebound
mid-way through the third quarter. Green writhed in pain on the ground
for a handful of possessions until a stoppage, then left for the locker
room with trainers. Green was checked for a concussion and cleared to
returned to the bench a few minutes later.

The Warriors’ latest late-game collapse negated a hot shooting night for
Steph Curry. He shot 15-for-31 from the field and 9-of-19 from three and
is now the only player in NBA history to hit at least seven 3-pointers
in four consecutive games. He finished with 41 points.

Podziemski scored 26 shooting 9-of-12 from the field and a perfect
5-of-5 from 3.

Paul George fouled out with just over three minutes remaining in the
fourth quarter and the game very much up for grabs.

The Warriors close the season’s first half against the Utah Jazz on
Thursday, the makeup game for the one postponed last month in the wake
of Dejan Milojevic’s death.
