LA Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors Preview

The Clippers have dominated the Warriors over the past two seasons. Golden State has not beaten Steve Ballmer's team since Nov. 30, 2023, and has lost six straight, including three this season.

However, the Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline. The Clippers have not faced the new-look Golden State, so it's going to be a very interesting contest. For what it's worth, Butler has a career record of 8-12 versus the Clippers.
