April 16, 2026Updated 1:01 am EDT<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry delivered when the Golden State Warriors needed him most.<\/p>\n

His 30-foot 3-pointer with 51 seconds left capped a 14-2 closing run and sent the Warriors past the LA Clippers 126-121 in Wednesday\u2019s 9-10 Play-In game at Intuit Dome.<\/p>\n

Before the late-game surge, the Clippers led 115-110 and had been up by as many as 13 in the fourth quarter \u2014 another late collapse in a setting that has repeatedly tripped them up.<\/p>\n

Curry, who briefly left the bench in the first quarter with an apparent injury, finished with 35 points on 12-of-23 shooting, including 7 of 12 from beyond the arc. He had just eight points in the first half after missing seven of his first nine attempts.<\/p>\n

The Warriors advance to face the Phoenix Suns on Friday for the Western Conference\u2019s No. 8 seed. The winner will face the No. 1-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder.<\/p>\n

For the Clippers, it marks their first missed postseason in four years \u2014 and another blown double-digit fourth-quarter lead in Play-In play.<\/p>\n

Takeaways coming soon from the Warriors\u2019 126-121 win over the Clippers.<\/p>\n
