The Spurs suffered their second blowout at the hands of the Clippers in as many matchups. After doing a good job of keeping pace in the first half despite some issues on both ends, they simply couldn’t hang on after the break, which resulted in a 124-99 loss that is not as discouraging as the final score would suggest.
In a battle of contrasting styles between an older, star-studded team that likes to play more methodically and a younger squad that relies on transition points to make up for their lack of shot creators, it was the Clippers who imposed their identity early.
