In their last game in the Staples Center before it gets renamed to the Crypto.com Arena, the Clippers found themselves in a 116-92 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
The Clippers, who average just under 13 threes a game, made only nine tonight. The Spurs, who make a bit over 10 a game, cashed in on twelve. With the Clippers 3 point shooting advantage neutralized by a hot shooting night from the Spurs, the battle in the paint decided the game. At the half, the Clippers 32-22 point deficit, in terms of points scored in the paint, resulted in a double digit lead after the first two periods of play.
