However, it was Kobe Brown who helped his squad get out to a strong start with 14 points on 5-for-7 shooting, 2-for-2 from deep in the first half, before his teammates took over down the stretch.
The Clippers had the upper hand early in the game and held a six-point lead at halftime. They pushed it up to a 12-point deficit in the third, before Reed Sheppard knocked down three straight threes to make it a three-point game entering the final quarter.
