The Clippers were behind most of the game, and never seemed like they were in position to take the win. They didn’t play badly, per se, but weren’t sharp enough on defense to get consistent stops, and were let down by their outside shooting. There weren’t many turning points in the game—it was basically the same story from start to finish. The Clippers got open shots, just couldn’t hit them. They mostly moved the ball well, and the effort level was present on both ends. The Grizzlies simply worked their way open time and again, and unlike the Clippers, were able to convert on their opportunities.
