The Warriors will be off for the next eight days before returning to Los Angeles to play the Lakers Feb. 23.
LOS ANGELES — Jordan Poole scored 28 points, Klay Thompson added 18 and Kevon Looney posted a double-double, but Golden State couldn’t contain Kawhi Leonard Tuesday night as he led the Clippers to a 134-124 win over the defending champs.
Leonard had a game-high 33 points, knocking down seven of his nine 3-point attempts, Paul George contributed 20 points and Norman Powell added 24 off the bench to help the Clippers snap a two-game losing skid. But for the first time in nearly four years, Thompson took the court to complete his first back-to-back set since suffering two major injuries.
The Clippers punched back in an explosive third quarter and carried a 105-93 into the fourth. Los Angeles kept the Warriors at bay from there.
