SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors needed relief after a grueling road trip spiraled into a five-game losing streak. The Clippers were just the right salve.
The Warriors notched a breezy 112-97 win against Los Angeles on Tuesday night at Chase Center, snapping the losing streak in their fourth and final game against their division foe.
Without Draymond Green, Golden State’s defense has been rudderless and penetrable, leaving the Warriors vulnerable to high-scoring performances from top Western Conference contenders. The Warriors gave up 30-point first quarters in six straight games entering Tuesday’s home game.
