The NBA Playoffs are crazy this year! All the first round match ups except for the Clippers and Spurs are 2-0. The Clippers and Spurs game yesterday was an awesome game! I didn't like the ending, but it was still a great game. Blake Griffin and Tim Duncan were on fire and being really aggressive.
The Spurs were fouling Deandre Jordan on purpose in the 4th quarter. They did that because Jordan struggles at the free throw line. Jordan couldn't make any free throws. Even Matt Barnes missed 3 free throws and JJ Reddick missed one free throw. I can't wait until they rule that out, so the other teams can't foul a struggling shooter purposely.
The game was close all game. At the last seconds of the 4th quarter, the Clippers were up by 2 points. Blake Griffin had the ball and then he randomly lost the ball and turned it over. Patty Mills got the ball and ran down the court. He almost made the lay up, but he got fouled. He made 2 free throws and sent it to overtime.
Manu Ginobili fouled out, Tim Duncan had 5 fouls, and Tony Parker got injured at the beginning of the overtime period. I thought it was a definite win for the Clippers. A lot of the bench players were doing good for the Spurs. The Spurs ended up winning by 4 points. It was disappointing, but it was still a great game.
That game was super intense! I knew the Clippers were going to lose just by the way they kept losing the ball and the Spurs going through with their steals. I really wanted them to win still. One thing I hated was when they kept fouling Jordan on purpose. Too bad Duncan didn't foul out.
