Warriors Beat Clippers 124-112: Final Score and Game Recap

Updated November 2, 2026 (UTC): The Golden State Warriors defeated the LA Clippers 124–112 at Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday, November 1. The final result replaces the pregame outlook: Golden State won its fourth straight game, while Los Angeles took a fifth consecutive loss. The NBA identifies the matchup as game 0022600156.

For the event clock, the NBA listed tipoff at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on November 1. Because U.S. daylight saving time had ended earlier that day, the Eastern label was Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5). In San Francisco, the same tip was 5:30 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST, UTC−8). That moment was 1:30 a.m. UTC on Monday, November 2. These are three labels for one event time; the local game date remained Sunday in San Francisco.

Warriors turn the preview into a final result

The matchup was scheduled as a Pacific Division regular-season game, with Golden State at home and the Clippers visiting Chase Center. The NBA’s Warriors schedule now marks the game as a win and lists the score in opponent-first order; the final was LA 112, Golden State 124. The NBA game center and official Warriors schedule are the league records to use for the game ID, venue, date and result.

The final also resolves the central question in the original preview: how would Golden State generate offense with Stephen Curry unavailable? Postgame reports say Curry and Draymond Green were rested for the first game of a back-to-back. That is a game-specific rest description, not a new injury diagnosis. The pregame availability notes should no longer be read as current information about this completed matchup.

Yaxel Lendeborg leads the scoring

Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg scored a career-high 37 points and added six assists, giving Golden State a primary scoring performance despite Curry and Green sitting out. He made six three-pointers and shot 13-for-19 from the field, according to the Reuters game report. Those numbers explain why the final margin was not just a routine team win: one young player delivered the largest share of the scoring while other Warriors also contributed.

De’Anthony Melton added 21 points. Brandon Williams and Brandin Podziemski each scored 17, and Podziemski also recorded eight rebounds and eight assists. The distribution matters when reading the result. Golden State did not need to replace Curry’s role with a single like-for-like substitute; several players supplied points, ball handling or both. That is a description of this game, not evidence that the same rotation or scoring pattern will carry forward.

Lendeborg’s night also changes how the early-season storyline should be framed. Before tipoff, the question was whether he could respond after a quiet game against the Lakers. The final box-score reporting answers that narrow question: he produced a career best and was the game’s leading scorer. It does not settle how consistently he will perform across the season, or how Golden State will use him once its veteran players return.

What the result says about Los Angeles

Rui Hachimura led the Clippers with 24 points. The loss extended Los Angeles’ skid to five games, according to postgame coverage. The pregame concern had been whether the Clippers could use their ball handling and half-court creation to pressure the Warriors. The result shows that their scoring was not enough to win this particular game, but the final score alone cannot identify one cause. It would take possession-level analysis to separate shooting, turnovers, defensive coverage and other factors reliably.

The score is a useful correction to any preview language that presented lineup choices as settled or described the teams’ form only through their records before tipoff. The game was played, Golden State won by 12, and the result belongs in the recap. Readers comparing the preview with the final should give greater weight to the official game record and completed box score than to projections made before the opening tip.

Time, venue and game record

The NBA game page lists Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. ET; the Warriors’ game detail lists a 5:30 p.m. PST start at Chase Center in San Francisco. The UTC listing of 01:30 on November 2 is the next calendar day because UTC is eight hours ahead of San Francisco at that time. The date change does not mean the local game took place on Monday.

The United States switched from daylight time to standard time on November 1, 2026. Since tipoff was several hours after the clock change, San Francisco was on PST (UTC−8) and the Eastern time zone was on EST (UTC−5). This distinction is useful when checking archived schedules, calendar entries or international listings, which may display the UTC date rather than the venue’s local date.

For the official record, consult the NBA game summary, the Clippers at Warriors game center, or the NBA results page for November 1. The league’s Warriors schedule is useful for the team’s game-by-game record, while Reuters provides an independently reported recap and player details. The result is final; injury and lineup monitoring was relevant before the game, but it is not a live status update for this completed event.
