If the NBA Finals 2K15 is anywhere near the Spurs/Clippers Series ratings will be through the roof. A nip and tuck affair as the Chess Match between Spurs Coach Gregg "Pops" Popovich and Clippers lead man Glenn "Doc" Rivers continues on a five-star scale.
A game that simply came down to a missed free throw, turnover, missed rebound, missed shot, or a missed assignment put the potential loser in harm's way. The Spurs simply made one last play bigger than the Clippers and it was that missed free throw and that rebound by Kawhi Leonard and it wasn't the basket interference by DeAndre Jordan.
Looking at even closer the team that has won every game in this series performed well shooting the Spalding orange from the field and the arc.as tonight was no different. Spurs playing "Spur Wars" shot 11 for 23 from the arc the Clippers a woeful 1 for 14 from deep a 7% clip. Add in the Clips missed 16 free throws shooting 26 for 42 and the Spurs hit 28 for 37...do the math!
Spurs Tim Duncan lead San Antonio with 21 points and eleven boards with Kawhi Leonard adding 18 points and nine boards. The Clips Trio of CP3 (19 pts 10 asst), Blake (30 pts 14 rebs 7 asst), and DeAndre (21 pts 14 rebs) all had the numbers for Team Ballmer to get into the Winner's Circle. It was those aforementioned numbers that spelled gloom and doom for the Clips in this pivotal game 5 loss.
Now we get Spurs and Clippers in the Alamo City on Thursday April 30th at 9:30pm ET as it will be in Elimination Game...
I know it's player's league and game but the X's and O's coupled with the attention to detail by these Coaching Staff's is simply 2nd to none!
