The Clippers beat the Golden State Warriors 104-101 on Sunday, Oct. 4, and anyone who missed it can catch up quickly. Highlight packages of the key plays were posted within hours, which is how most people will take in a game like this one.

It was a preseason game, and it was played like one. Nothing in it carries into the standings, and the value for both teams lies in rotations, timing and reps rather than the final tally. The Clippers get the win, and that is about as far as it goes in October.

The pregame coverage was mostly the usual viewing guides, with how-to-watch details, lineup notes and broadcast information for those planning to tune in. Those guides are useful before tip-off, but they say little about how the game turned out.

The margin tells that part. Three points separated the teams at the finish, so this stayed tight to the end. The Warriors came up just short in Los Angeles, and both teams now move on to the next exhibition.
