The Warriors had to overcome a 23-point deficit and a near-perfect game from Chris Paul to get win No. 13. Let’s now pause for a moment of silent prayer for the basketball gods to grant us a seven-game playoff series between these two teams.

 

Here are some of the highlights, which do not include the LA Clippers melting down like the LA Clippers in last year’s playoff series vs the Rockets.

CP3’s FIRST QUARTER EXPLOSION (18pts, 7-7 FGs, 4assts, 0 TOs in 8 mins)

 

BLAKE GRIFFIN’S FADEAWAY (27 pts, 6 rebs, 5 assts)

 

HARRISON BARNES’ MAGICAL SHOT (21 pts, 7 rebs)

 

DRAYMOND’S BUZZER BEATER (19 pts, 6 rebs, 9 assts)

IGGY’S MJ SHRUG (8 pts, 2 very clutch 3s)

Reigning MVP Steph Curry, by the way, chipped in 40 pts and 7 rebs.
