BOX SCORE The Warriors’ 2025-26 season somehow still is alive. Steph Curry erupted in the second half as Golden State rallied to stun the Los Angeles Clippers 126-121 in the NBA play-in game on Wednesday night at Intuit Dome. The Warriors will travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns in a do -or-die 8th-seed game, with the winner advancing to take on the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Curry, on a minutes restriction as he ramps back up after returning from a right knee injury, struggled in the first half but turned it on in the second half and finished with 35 points on 12-of-23 shooting from the field. The Golden State star scored just eight first-half points but poured in 27 during the second half to fuel the comeback win. Curry’s 3-pointer with 50.4 seconds remaining gave the Warriors a late lead they didn’t relinquish. Kristaps Porziņģis had a spring in his step and finished with 20 points, while Gui Santos and Brandin Podziemski scored 20 and 17 points, respectively. Al Horford added 14 off the bench. The Warriors trailed for most of the second half until Horford drained a 3-pointer with just over two minutes left in regulation. Now the Warriors turn their attention to the Suns. Golden State won three of the four regular-season matchups, including the final matchup in Phoenix on Feb. 5. One more win on Friday night, and the Warriors will achieve their goal of getting into the playoffs.
