NBA Playoffs 2019: Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Clippers Game 5 live stream: Watch online
By Ian Levy
The Golden State Warriors have bounced back with two straight wins over the Los Angeles Clippers. Here’s everything you need to watch Game 5.
Since their monumental collapse in Game 2, the Warriors have been viciously dissecting the Clippers, outscoring them by an average of 17.0 points per 100 possessions in Games 3 and 4. The Lou Williams – Montrezl Harrel combination which looked unguardable for Los Angeles in the first two games of the series, has averaged just 26.5 points per game (with Williams shooting 28.6 percent) over the last two.
This has been a reminder that the Warriors are still a historically great team and the presumptive favorites to come out of the Western Conference. If you remove the second half of Game 2, they’ve outscored Los Angeles by a total of 75 points over the other 14 quarters. Los Angeles will now be on the road and may need an effort as historic as what the did in Game 2 to stay alive.
Kevin Durant is obviously the player to watch, channeling his feud with Patrick Beverly into 35.5 points per game on nearly 60 percent shooting over the past two. Of course, if he has an off night, the Warriors can turn to Klay Thompson or Stephen Curry who have combined to make 28-of-59 3-pointers in the series. These Warriors are ridiculous.
Below is everything you’ll need to watch Game 5.
