Williams sparks Clippers over Warriors in overtime upset

Lou Williams scored 25 points from the bench as the Los Angeles Clippers upset the league-leading Golden State Warriors 121-116 in a wild overtime thriller at the Staples Center yesterday morning (Singapore time).

Williams Reeled Off 10 Of His Points In Overtime To Secure Victory After The Clippers Squandered A 14-point, Fourth-quarter Lead Before Digging In For The Win. The 32-year-old Veteran Was Supported By 23 Points From The Bench By Montrezl Harrell As The Clippers Improved To 8-5 In The Western Conference Standings.

The Warriors Remain On Top Of The West After Suffering Only Their Third Loss Of The Season. The Nba Champions Are 11-3 Following The Defeat.

Kevin Durant Led The Scoring With 33 Points While Klay Thompson Had 31, Including Five Three-pointers.

The Warriors Had Trailed For Much Of The Game, And Appeared To Be Sliding Towards A Loss Before A Determined Fourth-quarter Rally Transformed The Contest.

Thompson Tied The Game At 106-106 With 1:27 Left On The Clock, But Neither Side Were Able To Take A Decisive Advantage, Sending The Game Into Overtime. Williams Then Took Over With 10 Points As The Clippers Completed A Morale-boosting Victory.
