The Los Angeles Clippers looked fantastic at home in Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs when they easily beat the reigning champions 107-92.
The script has completely flipped since, with the Spurs edging the Clippers in overtime in Game 2 to take away homecourt advantage, and then completely and utterly demolishing them in Game 3 at the AT&T Center 100-73.
Kawhi Leonard was virtually unstoppable, scoring 32 points on 13-of-18 shooting from the field to go with four rebounds, three steals and two blocks in just 29 minutes. The Spurs clicked on all cylinders, shooting 52.6 percent from the field as a team while limiting the Clippers to just 34.1 percent overall, including six-of-23 from the arc.
To summarize what happened in not such a friendly way, here’s what actor Samuel L. Jackson had to say about the game:
