Ivica Zubac contributed 14 points and a season-best 13 rebounds for the cold-shooting Clippers, who went 6 for 33 from long range and 30 of 82 overall (36.6%).<\/p>\n
Los Angeles had won the last seven in the series and three in a row at Chase Center, where the Warriors improved to 3-0 so far.<\/p>\n
Al Horford was back for the Warriors against the tall, physical Clippers team featuring the 7-foot Zubac after sitting out the front end of the back-to-back to manage a left toe injury.<\/p>\n
The Clippers began 6 for 20 and 1 for 8 on 3s to fall behind 27-14 on a night they missed Bradley Beal for a second consecutive game because of back soreness.<\/p>\n
