The Golden State Warriors were able to hold on to their late Game 6 lead and beat the Los Angeles Clippers 100-99 on their home floor to force a Game 7 in Los Angeles. Neither team shot particularly well in the game, but the Warriors only had eight turnovers in the game while the Clippers ended up with 12.
The game was close all night, but the Warriors were able to gain momentum in the third quarter when they outscored the Clippers 22-16. The Clippers missed multiple shots with less than ten seconds remaining in the game and Stephen Curry missed his last free throw on purpose to kill off the clock.
