In the midst of a slump, the Clippers arrived in San Antonio looking to achieve some sense of stability — a win would get them to .500 and would build off of the two contests they won prior to the recent loss in New Orleans. While the game was competitive, the Clippers’ mid-season volatility continues with their 101-94 loss against the Spurs.
The first quarter was a back-and-forth affair, as both teams demonstrated competency on both ends of the floor. The Spurs began to take command of the game, however, as the second quarter progressed. Isaiah Hartenstein’s entry into the game did provide a burst of energy, but Dejounte Murray’s activity on offense helped blunt the Clipper’s surge.
