The Spurs had a bad shooting night, but played their best defense of the year to make tonight’s game interesting as they almost pulled off a terrific comeback. After a terrible offensive start where they just scored three offensive baskets in the first quarter, the Spurs outplayed the Clippers for most of the game, but they had some lapses where they just couldn’t hit a shot and Los Angeles took advantage of those for extended runs.
The Clippers have four players who will be in the Hall of Fame, and Kawhi Leonard looks as healthy as he has in several years.
