The Los Angeles Clippers have homecourt advantage through seven games, but after dropping one at the Staples Center on Wednesday and the first game on the road on Friday, they're in a 2-1 series hole against the San Antonio Spurs. The series continues in Texas on Sunday afternoon in a critical Game 4.
Clippers vs. Spurs 2015 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch Game 4 online
The Spurs can take a commanding 3-1 series lead with a win over the Clippers on Sunday.
After a solid 107-92 victory in Game 1 in which Chris Paul put up 32 points, the Clippers couldn't seal the deal at home in Game 2 and the Spurs pulled out the 111-107 overtime victory. It was a frustratingly close game for the Clippers, who still managed to get big numbers from their stars -- Blake Griffin put up 29 points and DeAndre Jordan snared 15 rebounds.
It only got worse from there for the Clippers. The Spurs gained the edge in the series in Game 3 with a blowout win. Kawhi Leonard, this year’s NBA Defensive Player of the Year, proved he’s anything but one-dimensional en route to putting up 32 points in just 29 minutes of play. Griffin led the way in rebounds for the game, pulling down just 10 for the Clippers, and the Spurs walked out of there with a 100-73 victory.
It’s worth noting that the Clippers were solid on the road in the regular season, and even won one road game against the Spurs. That’s significant considering the Spurs were an incredible 33-8 at home in the regular season, but at the end of the day, nothing that Griffin, Paul or anybody else did amounted to much in Game 3.
The Clippers will need a much better, more complete performance in Game 4 at the AT&T Center on Sunday. They’re a talented team, and heading back to Los Angeles with the series tied is infinitely better than facing a must-win with another game in San Antonio looming.
