San Antonio Spurs now leads the series 2-1 despite the home court disadvantage. The Los Angeles Clippers’ now is in trouble facing the veteran Spurs prior to their loss in game 2. The Clippers turn the ball over in the final seconds in game 2 which their team led by two points. It was Blake Griffin, who committed the costly error. Griffin’s turnover wasn’t the only flub that cost L.A. key playoffs win, but it’s one that he will remember for a long time. Griffin lost the ball following a pair of between-the-leg dribbles with his team holding a two-point lead late in regulation Wednesday night, one of a handful of missed opportunities during a momentum-shifting 111-107 overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series at Staples Center. Griffin finished with a triple-double but surely regrets his mistake. Griffin finished with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in addition to five turnovers. Griffin certainly wasn’t the only Clippers culprit. DeAndre Jordan made six of 17 free throws and Matt Barnes and Jamal Crawford combined to make two of 13 three-pointers, but Griffin’s play will be the one that probably will haunt the Clippers most.
In game 2, Tim Duncan had a huge game scoring 28 points and the veteran lead the Spurs to victory despite his age. Meanwhile in game 3, Kawhi Leonard led the Spurs to victory with a career high 32 points. Leonard is the Kia Defensive Player of the year. The Spurs crushed the Clippers in that game with a 100-73 victory. Now, can the Clippers win the game 4 and tie the series?
