and, sharks lose 3-0. and the lead now, 3-2 in the series. game six. monday night. >> we have to start, really, fast starts in the building. they started faster than us. really, rarity around here. there wasn't a lot of pause. so obviously we have work to do. we will make sure they see it. >> warriors, clippers, continue their playoff series tomorrow at oracle. game four. l.a. leading 2-1 in the series. shut down. selt curry. double-teams. and dished out 15 assists. compensate for the lack of offensive production. this is playoff basketball. head coach, mark jackson. needs more for the team to get back into the game.
