What can you say about the San Antonio Spurs? They have now won six straight playoffs games, extending their winning streak to 16 games. They certainly have had their way with opponents at home where they have averaged 111.6 points per game in their last nine home games, all wins. Their margin of victory has been no less than 10 points in any of the nine, and no less than 15 in the playoffs. The margin for error has been much less on the road. Their last four road games have seen the Spurs win by 6 points or less in three of them. The Clippers certainly have their work cut out for them, but this is pretty much a get it done, or else proposition. They certainly have been able to put the defensive clamps to work at home where they have allowed less than 88 ppg in their three playoffs games without overtime minutes included, and held high-scoring Oklahoma City here late in the season to just 77. The Clippers have rung the bell at home to the tune of a 19-9 ATS mark in their last 28 here vs. a team with a winning road record, and took San Antonio to overtime in the only meeting here this year before bowing by 3. The Spurs have not played an OVER in their last six after scoring 100+ in their previous game, and the last 21 between these clubs played in LA have gone 17-3-1 to the UNDER. Play on the Clippers and the UNDER.
