Warriors blast distracted Clips

By Jeremy Harness

The Los Angeles Clippers dropped their warm-up jerseys onto the center of the court before the game. The Warriors, on the other hand, dropped jumpers into the net and did not stop until they were 18-97 winners in Game 4 at Oracle Arena Sunday.

The victory evened up the best-of-seven series at two games apiece and sends the series back to Staples Center.

The Clippers found it reasonably difficult to focus on Sunday’s game, given what had transpired with their owner. Donald Sterling, or someone believed to be him, made offensive remarks regarding African-Americans, telling his girlfriend to “not bring them to my games.”

As a sign of protest, the Clipper players came together as a team and shed their warm-up gear at center court in a public display while also turning their shooting T-shirts inside out.

The Warriors, particularly Stephen Curry, jumped on them right away. Curry made his first five 3-point attempts and finished with 33 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

The Warriors opened up a double-digit lead early on and maintained that throughout the entire game.
