The Clippers continued their preseason struggles, losing to the Golden State Warriors, 125-107, on Tuesday night in Oakland.
The Clippers, who have been outrebounded in all six preseason games, were beaten on the boards by the Warriors, 46-31. They also struggled again on defense, giving up more than 100 points for the fourth time in the preseason.
The Clippers are 1-5 in exhibition play.
Clippers Coach Doc Rivers decided to rest Chris Paul and Blake Griffin against the Warriors. The team plays again Wednesday evening against Phoenix at Staples Center and finishes exhibition play Friday against Portland.
Jared Cunningham, who started Tuesday, led the Clippers with 23 points on six-for-15 shooting, but he also had six turnovers. J.J. Redick had 21 points on six-for-15 shooting. Spencer Hawes had 14 points and seven rebounds. DeAndre Jordan had 13 points and nine rebounds. And Jamal Crawford finished with 10 points.
Jordan Farmar did not play because of lower back tightness, and Glen Davis continues to be sidelined with a strained right groin.
The game featured 10 lead changes and four ties. The Clippers forced the Warriors to turn the ball over 28 times, while committing 20 turnoves themselves. But the Warriors outshot the Clippers, 59% to 37.8%.
