Most experts predicted a sweep, but give the Los Angeles Clippers credit for putting up one heck of a fight against the mighty Golden State Warriors. After two surprising home losses, the Warriors closed out the series on the road on Friday with a 129-110 win in Game 6.
Kevin Durant was simply spectacular in the final two games of the series, following up his 45-point performance in Game 5 with 50 points on 15-of-26 shooting in Game 6. Draymond Green also helped set the tone in Game 6, doing a little bit of everything in a triple-double performance with 16 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.
The Clippers ran into a buzz saw, but received strong performances from guards Patrick Beverley and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the loss. Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell had slower games on Friday, but led L.A. for most of the series.
