Clippers Down Spurs, Earn Third Straight Win
The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 116-11, at Staples Center on Thursday.

The Clippers (9-5) have made a statement over the last week, with Thursday's win serving as their third straight win after the team knocked off both the Bucks and Warriors within the last seven days. Thursday night, Los Angeles let the Spurs (7-7) remain within striking distance, but it never allowed the visiting team to breakthrough. This was thanks in large part to Lou Williams in the closing moments, as his game-winning three-pointer with 40 seconds left put the Clippers up for good. Williams finished with 23 points on 9-of-20 shooting in 28 minutes off the bench to lead the way for the Clippers. Danilo Gallinari was close behind with 19 points, while Tobias Harris put together a great all-around performance with 18 points, eight rebounds and assists in 28 minutes.

For the Spurs, it was all about DeMar Derozan, who scored a game-high 34 points on 14-of-30 shooting to go along with six rebounds, five assists and three steals in 41 minutes. Unfortunately for DeRozan, when the Spurs had a chance to tie the game down three points in the closing moments, their star turned the ball over, and the game was officially out of reach. DeRozan still didn't get much help Thursday night, however, as LaMarcus Aldridge shot a miserable 3-of-15 from the field en route to scoring just 10 points in 38 minutes, but he did have a game-high 16 rebounds. Rudy Gay posted 19 points off the bench in what was the team's third straight loss.
