What to watch for:
Clippers Bench Production
Los Angeles received a huge unexpected boost from their bench in Game 4 as Jamal Crawford and Austin Rivers combined for 31 points, canceling out San Antonio's advantage in that area of the game. If those two can have great games again tonight, the Clippers will win easily.
Can San Antonio knock down threes?
In the Spurs two wins in this series, they've shot 36.7 percent as a team from behind the arc, compared to just 27.5 percent in their two losses. San Antonio's offensive attack is based on spacing to create open shots from long-range, and they need to make those shots if they want to win tonight.
Prediction: Clippers win 110-105
Los Angeles is really one Blake Griffin turnover at the end of Game 2 away from having a 3-1 lead in this series, and they'll play extremely motivated at home trying to regain control of the series.
