The Clippers closed the regular season with a 115-110 win over the Warriors even without Kawhi Leonard, who sat out to rest ankle and wrist injuries. Bennedict Mathurin led the charge with 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists off the bench, while John Collins added 18 points and nine rebounds.
Bogdan Bogdanovic drained five of eight 3-pointers for 17 points, Darius Garland chipped in 15, Jordan Miller added 14, and Kobe Sanders contributed 11.The two sides were tied at 81 before Miller hit a buzzer-beating layup to end the third quarter, and Batum and Bogdanovic combined for three straight 3s early in the fourth to push the lead to 96–85.
The Clippers are built around Kawhi Leonard dragging defenders and creating separation, while Darius Garland runs the show at the point. They spread the floor with shooters and can be physical enough to win ugly. When the ball moves and it does with Garland pushing pace this team is hard to guard. Leonard averaged a career-high 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.9 steals across 65 regular-season games.
The Clippers on average score 113.8 points per game they score 48.4% from the field and are ranked 4th in the league, and 36.8% from the arc and are ranked 7th in the league. The Clippers grab 40.6 rebounds per game and Ranked 29th in season.
The Warriors closed the year on a three-game losing streak, finishing at 37-45 the franchise's worst record since going 15-50 in 2019-20.Stephen Curry scored 24 points, going 4-of-9 from 3-point range in the final regular season game, but was limited to 29 minutes as he eases back from a right knee injury that kept him out for over two months.
Jimmy Butler tore his right ACL in January, Moses Moody ruptured his patellar tendon, Seth Curry has a left sciatic nerve issue, and Quinten Post (foot) is questionable for the play-in.
The Warriors at full strength are a different animal spacing, ball movement, Curry in rhythm. But this isn't full strength. Since Butler's season-ending injury on January 19 against Miami, Golden State went 12-25. Draymond Green is the glue that holds the defense together, and with Curry coming off weeks of limited minutes, the Warriors need a big game from him to have a real shot.
The Warriors, on average, score 114.6 points per game, they score 46.1% from the field and are ranked 24th in the league, and 35.6% from the arc and are ranked 20th in the league. The Warriors grab 42.3 rebounds per game and ranked 21st in the season.

Golden State will aim to slow the pace, dominate the rebounding battle, and attack the paint consistently. The Clippers will look to increase tempo, force turnovers, and capitalize on transition scoring opportunities. The clash between Golden State’s physical interior play and the Clippers’ pace-driven approach will likely determine the outcome.

| Player Name | Points | Rebounds | Assists | Steals/Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kawhi Leonard | 27.9 | 6.4 | 3.6 | 1.9/0.4 |
| Stephen Curry | 26.6 | 3.6 | 4.7 | 1.1/0.4 |
This matchup slightly favors the Golden State Warriors because their elite offense and experience in high-stakes games are well-suited to overpower the Clippers. If the Warriors maintain their signature ball movement and get a strong performance from their core players, they should be able to dictate the game.
