Darius Garland’s first game in a Los Angeles Clippers uniform ended in a convincing 114-101 win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
The guard, appearing for the first time since joining Los Angeles, set the pace offensively and helped the Clippers establish a double-digit advantage that held for most of the second half. His debut powered Los Angeles to its second straight victory and dropped Golden State back below the .500 mark.
The Warriors never led after halftime, struggling to contain Garland’s playmaking and outside shooting. Los Angeles closed the third quarter on a decisive run and maintained control down the stretch to secure the 13-point margin.
The matchup was the teams’ third of the season, with the Clippers now holding a 2-1 edge in the series. The clubs will meet once more before the regular season concludes.
