The Clippers took an early lead in the first quarter thanks to 11 points by Johnson and were able to close out the quarter with a 13-point lead, 35-22.  Big threes from Warriors guard Ryan Taylor in the second quarter didn’t stop Agua Caliente from extending the lead, heading into halftime with a 68-46 lead over the Sea Dubs. The Warriors came back late in the third quarter to bring the lead to within 13 points, bringing the score to 88-75 going into the final frame.
