A 45-point outing by Kevin Durant went for naught in Game Five on Wednesday, as the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors dropped a second game to the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in their first-round, NBA West playoff series. The loss meant that the Warriors had lost two first-round playoff games for the first time since 2014, when they were actually eliminated in seven games by the same Los Angeles Clippers franchise, per Basketball Reference , also the last year that Golden State failed to advance all the way to the NBA Finals.
Now, the Clippers will try to force a Game Seven again, and get a chance to pull off what would easily be the biggest playoff upset in several years at least — if they can defend their home court in a Game Six that will live stream from the Staples Center.
