Los Angeles at San Antonio

Think the young Clippers are shell shocked? Blake Griffin apologized for his late critical turnover that helped cost the Clippers Game 2 at home, then went 6-for-15 in a Game 3 dud, getting blown out at San Antonio, 100-73. Los Angeles shot 34% and missed three more free throws. The Clippers scored a franchise postseason low and had 11 points in the third quarter. The Clippers are actually a very talented team, but this is a terrible matchup. All their weak points are being exploited. Los Angeles' weak spots are bad free throw shooting and no bench. Los Angeles is on a 1-5-1 ATS run, and the Clippers are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 Conference Quarterfinals games. They will have to bring better defense, and Los Angeles is 34-16-2 UNDER the total on one day of rest, as well as a 7-2 run UNDER the total overall. Unfortunately for them, San Antonio plays better defense, third in the NBA in points allowed. San Antonio is on a 20-8 ATS run, 13-3 ATS at home, and 8-2 UNDER the total playing on one days rest. With so much at stake, look for a defensive duel and grab home court. Play the San Antonio Spurs and the game UNDER the total.
