The Los Angeles Clippers will stay home again tonight to host the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of Round 1 of the playoffs. The Clippers have the upper hand tonight after winning Game 1, and the Spurs are definitely in some unfamiliar territory.
Doc Rivers has the right respect for the Spurs. He said the following, as reported by NBA.com:
“They’re still the defending champs, and they’re going to be the defending champs every night,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “We have a lot of confidence in our team, but you just have to stay humble and respect who you’re playing.”
DeAndre Jordan caused a few issues for San Antonio in the paint last game. They haven’t lost a Game 1 since 2011, and the Clippers also broke their 11 game win streak.
NBA.com reports the following about the duo, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin,
“We know we gave up a lot of open shots, and most nights they’re gonna make ’em,” Chris Paul said. “So there’s a lot of things that we need to clean up.”
Griffin had two thunderous dunks on Baynes and blocked two of his layup attempts in the decisive third quarter. The All-Star forward had 26 points while Paul scored 32, consistently driving the lane for good looks.
“Me and Blake talked about it before the game, the team goes as we go,” Paul said. “We sort of feed off each other.”
Jordan Hamilton will not play tonight, as he is out with a concussion.
Let’s go Clippers! Be Relentless!!
