Despite dueling back-and-forth throughout the evening, the San Antonio Spurs were unable to continue their winning streak against a familiar foe in the LA Clippers. Only two Spurs reached double-digit scoring in the contest – marquee guard DeMar DeRozan and firestarter Derrick White off the bench.
Back in his hometown of Los Angeles, DeRozan tends to show out for the crowd. During his time in Toronto, he didn’t have as many opportunities to visit home throughout the regular season, but that changed when the 30-year-old became a Spur. In 35 minutes of play, DeRozan made 13-of-21 field goals and 3-of-4 free throws for 29 points.
