The Los Angeles Clippers have the stars to compete with any team in the NBA on any given night. On Sunday, their bench showed it can hold its own with a massive performance against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Clippers wrest home-court advantage back to their side with an inspiring 114-105 Game 4 win in hostile territory.
Key Number: 31
That was the bench production of Clippers reserves Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford. Their ability to get open and take advantage of their on-court minutes was crucial for the Clippers on this day. This leads us to...
Los Angeles MVPs:
Chris Paul and Blake Griffin had typically stellar performances (including Blake's insane 20-point, 19-rebound performance), but give the co-MVP to Rivers (16 points) and Crawford (15 points) for neutralizing the Spurs' usual bench advantage.
San Antonio MVP:
The ageless Tim Duncan continues to be a model of efficiency for the Spurs. He finished with 22 points and 14 rebounds, rarely wasting motion in another throwback performance.
What's Next?
The teams head back to the West Coast for Tuesday's Game 5 in Los Angeles. No tipoff time has been announced as of this writing.
