They have been good at everything else at some point of this season (fouls, rebounds, rim protection, 3 prevention). But you can pass ball safely against them. Spurs: 20:3 AST-TO ratio. – 9:14 PM Spurs had 42 points in the paint in first half. Teams are increasingly fine just beating (insert Clippers perimeter defender here) and attacking whoever is at the rim, which is too often no one. – 9:11 PM Clippers offense works, especially when they take care of the ball. Which they did not do in 2nd quarter.
Spurs get a follow dunk off the miss. A few weeks ago the Clips cited their inability to finish possessions as a key defensive flaw. It’s still there. – 9:27 PM Clippers on 6-0 run to cut San Antonio lead to 78-75 with 8:44 left in third quarter.

– 9:37 PM Clippers used a 10-0 run to take a 93-90 lead with 3:33 left in the 3Q. Kawhi scored 8 of those points with a pair of 3s and a slam. He also had a steal, swiping the ball from Branham to begin the possession that led to his second 3. – 9:33 PM Your typical Clippers 3rd quarter where Kawhi Leonard goes off. He and PG have 19 of the 28 Clippers points in this quarter, and a 10-0 run has Clippers up 93-90. That’s cool. This game will be decided in the 4th quarter, and Kawhi has emptied the clip in the 3rd quarters… – 9:32 PM Four Clippers standing, watching, as Johnson’s shot missed and no one boxed out to grab the rebound and end the possession.

The final meeting between the teams will be Thursday in Los Angeles. Spurs begin a 3-game West Coast trip Monday in Portland. They face the Lakers on Wednesday. – 10:12 PM Two missed Marcus Morris Sr. free throws, two Keldon Johnson 3s, and T Mann getting tied up and losing the jump ball means Clippers have to play last 6. 5 out with lead down to 131-126. – 10:11 PM Leonard lays in lob from PG to give Clippers largest lead for either team at 127-117. Clippers offense definitely blueprinting against the NBA’s worst defense. No shade. Have you seen the alternative? 110 seconds left to play.
