Curry drops 7 threes in Warriors' Game 4 win over Clippers

Steph Curry made seven three-pointers to lead the Golden State Warriors to a 118-97 win over the Los Angeles Clippers, and tie the series at two games apiece on Sunday at Oracle Arena.

The Warriors commanded the game from the get-go to record a sixth consecutive win over the Clippers at home. Off the tip shooting 66.7 percent, the Warriors completely eclipsed the 55.6 percent shooting from the Clips to take a dominant 39-24 lead after one. 

Golden State led Los Angeles by as many as 24 points during the contest. Hedo Turkoglu's three-pointer with 8:03 remaining the fourth brought the Clippers within 10 for the first time in the game since 7:22 of the first quarter.

Steph Curry's mom. We'll refer to her as "the absolute best ever." Loud and proud is right.

Highlight Reel

Curry, who led all scorers with 33, couldn't stay on his feet to see the result of this play in the second. But hey, you can't blame the guy who recorded 17 points in the first quarter - as many as all five Clippers starters combined over that 12 minutes.

The guard left the game with 33 points on 10 of 20 shooting. He posted seven boards, seven assists, a steal, and a block, in 42 minutes.

Quote of the game

Clippers coach Doc Rivers took the blame for his team's slow start in Oakland on Sunday. Though he said at halftime that the racist comments heard on a recording from owner Donald Sterling couldn't be an excuse for play, there's no doubt his players had a lot on their minds against the Warriors.

The team gathered before the tip to remove their team-issued jackets, placing them in a heap at center court. For the entirety of the game, the Clippers wore their warm-up gear inside out when they were on the bench.
