The Golden State Warriors' 124-119 loss to the LA Clippers was certainly a thrilling way to end the NBA regular season. In a game where the stars came out and battled in a crucial matchup for playoff seeding, the Clippers ultimately locked up the fifth seed in the Western Conference, while the Warriors are headed for the Play-In Tournament.

It wouldn't be right for Warriors fans to take this loss without appreciating the performances of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, James Harden, and Kawhi Leonard. The four aging stars gave vintage performances and as a result, made NBA history.

Sunday's thriller was the first time in NBA history that four players scored 30 or more points in the same game on the final day of the regular season. It was truly an epic way to transition to the postseason.
