Despite Kevin Durant dropping 45 points, the Warriors couldn't get the win. They lost to the Clippers, 129-122, on Wednesday night, sending the series back to Los Angeles.
Game 6 will be Friday night at Staples Center.
As of late, Durant has been as lethal as any scorer in the NBA and the fans have definitely noticed. Durant earned "MVP" chants on two occasions during an otherwise disappointing night.
