Score: LAC 85 - ATL 83
ATLANTA – Something seems to click defensively for the Clippers once the three-minute mark in the third quarter hits.
It happened in Indiana, holding the Pacers scoreless for the next eight and a half minutes after that mark hit to escape with the win. Then, just a night later, it happened again Wednesday, holding the Hawks scoreless through the final three minutes of the third and to just three points in nearly eight minutes to start the fourth to win both games of the back-to-back.
Next Game: 1/29
Tipoff: 7:30pm PDT
Every time the Hawks threatened, the Clippers had an answer defensively – probably more times than they would’ve liked in an 85-83 win.
