Sunday night, it was the Los Angeles Clippers who looked like the second best defense in the league. They trapped Tony Parker on the pick and roll without yielding any advantage. They double-teamed Kawhi Leonard when he was in the post, and recovered when he passed out. They locked down the paint as DeAndre Jordan had enough blocks that no one would even challenge him until Manu Ginobili got a layup to drop in the third quarter.
And if all that wasn't enough, they couldn't miss from deep. Through the first three quarters, they made 61% of their threes.
