Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers has taken the blame for his side's 118-97 defeat against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.

Stephen Curry was the standout performer with 33 points, as the Clippers fell short at the Oracle Arena in their Game Four encounter.

"Whatever the distractions, I gotta do a better job," Rivers admitted after the game.

"I didn't do my job tonight. I take that personally. It's my job as a coach to get them ready, and I just didn't feel like I did the right stuff."

The sides will meet again for Game Five in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
