INGLEWOOD, Calif. (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors, two franchises with recent championship pedigrees, will meet Sunday in a late-season game with significant implications for the Western Conference play-in tournament. The game at Intuit Dome pits the Clippers (41-39) against the Warriors (37-43). With only a handful of games remaining, the Clippers sit in ninth place in the conference, while the Warriors are clinging to 10th, the final play-in spot. Los Angeles won the most recent matchup between the teams, a 114-101 victory in San Francisco on March 2. The season series is tied 1-1, with each team winning on the other’s home floor. A key matchup will feature the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard against the Warriors’ emerging center, Charles Bassey. Leonard has been a model of high-scoring consistency, averaging 26.1 points over his last 10 games. He scored 34 points in a win over Dallas on April 7. For Golden State, Bassey has provided a recent spark. He is coming off a double-double (12 points, 13 rebounds) in a loss to the Lakers on Thursday and has averaged 13.0 points and 11.7 rebounds over his last three contests. The Clippers are looking to rebound from a 128-110 home loss to Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Prior to that, they had won six of seven games, showcasing their potent offense with scores of 138 or more in three of those victories. Golden State has struggled for consistency, alternating wins and losses over its last six games. The Warriors fell to the Lakers 119-103 in their last outing despite Bassey’s efforts. Sunday’s contest could ultimately determine postseason positioning, adding a layer of urgency for both sides as the regular season winds down.
