Lost Angeles: Clippers Blow 24-Point Lead, Fall To Spurs

That magical 24-0 run in the third quarter did a pretty good job answering those questions, I’d say.

It’s easy to overlook half of what makes something like a 24-0 run. The NBA.com highlights focus on the Spurs’ scoring during the run, but more important as we roll the bones to assess future round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs were the stops. San Antonio took an opposing unit that dropped 33 points in 24 possessions in the first quarter and held them without a single point for 14 straight possessions in the third. Zero for 14. L.A. scored 18 points in the final 14 possessions of the first quarter (converting nine times), and zero in the 14 possessions that made up the Spurs’ 24-0 run.

Welp.
