Playoffs Day 14

Pre Game: Again, we only have 1 game tonight, #1 Golden State vs #8 Los Angeles. The Clippers won Game 5 on the road to force a Game 6 back at home.

*Boston Celtics Legend John Havliecek died at the age of 79. Thoughts and Prayers to his friends and family and his imprint on the Celtics organization.

Game 1: The one and only game of the night is Game 6 of #1 Golden State vs #8 Los Angeles. The Clippers won a gritty Game 5 behind Lou Williams 33 points. Now in Game 6, in which the Warriors are 2-0 this series, goes back to Los Angeles. The Clippers need to win this game to stay alive in the series and force a Game 7 back in Oakland. If the Warriors win tonight, then they will play #4 Houston in the 2nd round. At the end of the 1st, the Warriors led by 4, 35-31. The Warriors extended their lead to 9 with 10:41 left in the 2nd, 40-31. Kevin Durant had 20 points, Danilo Gallinari had 9 points. At the end of the 1st half, the Warriors were dominating, leading 72-53. Kevin Durant had 38 points in the 1st half, 15 for Danilo Gallinari. At the end of the 3rd, the Warriors led by 24, 102-78. The Warriors then went on to cruise to a dominant win, 129-110. Kevin Durant had 50 points, tied for the most this postseason with Damian Lillard, Danilo Gallinari had 29 for the Clippers. The Warriors went 3-0 on the road in the series, but were 1-2 at home, and that has been their biggest weakness. They play the #4 Rockets in the 2nd round.
