SEASON SERIES (SPURS WON 2-1)
Spurs 115, Clippers 90
Dec. 28, 2011 @ATT Center: In the second game of the season, Manu Ginobili scored 24, DeJuan Blair had 20, and now-former Spur Richard Jefferson had 19 in the team’s 17th straight home win over the Clippers. The Spurs only led 58-54 at half but pulled away with a 38-17 advantage in the third quarter. Blake Griffin had 28 points for L.A., but Chris Paul was held to 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting.
Spurs 103, Clippers 100
Feb. 18, 2012 @Staples Center: Reserve Spurs guard Gary Neal went from goat to hero in a matter of seconds. He turned the ball over with 9.5 seconds left, got a gift steal from Paul on the inbounds pass and hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds to go. Then, he hit a three late in overtime, finishing with 17 points as six Spurs scored in double figures.
Clippers 120, Spurs 108
March 9, 2012 @ATT Center: A sore thigh kept Tony Parker from suiting up, and the Clippers won in San Antonio for the first time since Jan. 21, 2002. It was one of five home losses for the Spurs this season. Paul took advantage of Parker’s absence with 36 points and 11 assists, while Mo Williams hit 7 of 9 on 3-pointers and scored 33 points.
