Huge Play

If the Clippers are able to win game 3, I would point to a big defensive play at the end of the 1st half orchestrated by Paul.  Mo Williams just got a lucky roll on a 3 to put the Clippers up by 10 after being way ahead and the Spurs had muscled back into the game.

Parker with the ball was setting up a pick and roll with Duncan for the final shot.  Paul saw this and pointed to Griffin to come up in front of Duncan and cut off the space Parker wanted to get to prior to pick being set.  Parker got confused and went out wide and Griffin and Paul double teamed him as he tried to adjust and flip it to Duncan on the high post.  But because time was running down, he didn't have much time to make this pass, Paul knew this, and jump into the passing lane and knocked the ball away.

The Clips needed to go into halftime up 10 at least.  If the Spurs cut the lead to under 10 after being down 22 in the first quarter, they would have all the momentum.  That play keeps the Clippers in this game.

Another side note, since I don't watch the Spurs play much.  You forget how tall Ginobli is.  I always think of him as a slashing, Sharunas Marchulenis type of player, but he is a lot more than that.  Without injuries, he is more comparable to Kobe Bryant, without the ability to turn it on defensively like Kobe.

Also, Duncan is listed at 6'11" and Blake at 6'10," but when you see Blake guarding Duncan, Duncan looks 3 inches taller than him.
