Kawhi did his best, but P.J. Tucker's 3PTer did in LA. |
In dramatic fashion, Kawhi Leonard put the Clippers on his back and tied the game with a couple minutes to spare, queuing P.J. Tucker to get a slick pass from Dejounte Murray on the right wing, splashing the clutch 3PTer for a three-point lead once more. Patrick Beverley hit a layup, and Murray missed one of two. The Spurs smartly fouled Beverley next, not risking a 3PT chance, and Patrick hit 1-of-2. Redeeming himself, Murray made both free throws.
Having a cold series, Paul George missed the corner 3PT tie attempt as the buzzer sounded, sending the series back to San Antonio.
"We'll see if he's ready after practice, but I'm hearing it's a possibility," Coach Popovich answered reporters' questions about the status of Brandon Ingram, who has been medically cleared to return for Game 5.
