115. 41. Final. 98. 77

The latest Clippers vs Warriors recap was all about Golden State.

This season it looked like the Clippers were going to figure out how to make a run at it all, but Wednesday night proved just the opposite.

Los Angeles struggled throughout the game, losing their seventh game of the season. Golden State, on the other hand, improved to a league-best 19-3.

It was also the Warriors’ tenth road win of the year.

While the loss stings for the Clippers and their fans, they should be thankful this isn’t the playoffs just yet.

Instead, it was the first regular season meeting between the two teams this season, giving room for improvement.

That in mind, here are three takeaways from the blowout at Staples Center.
