The San Antonio Spurs (3 - 2) defeated the Los Angeles Clippers (2 - 3) 111 - 107 on Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. In a game five thriller, the veteran Spurs were able to pull off the victory and steal home court advantage as they head back to San Antonio. The Clippers were on the brink of taking the lead with just under four seconds left in the game, but a DeAndre Jordan tip - in was called off and ruled as goaltending. The floater from Blake Griffin looked like it was going to fall, but Jordan accidently touched it before it was able to go through the hoop. The Spurs finished this game shooting 44 percent from the field and 48 percent from the three - point line, while the Clippers went 47 percent from the floor and an awful seven percent from deep. The Spurs' bench also out - scored the Clippers' bench 48 - 17. The ageless wonder, Tim Duncan, again worked his magic for the Spurs. Duncan finished with a team - high of 21 points (8 - 13 FG, 5 - 6 FT), to go along with 11 rebounds and three steals. He constantly made big plays both offensively and defensively and even went as far as blocking Griffin two straight times during one point in the fourth quarter. Duncan continues to show no signs of slowing down this postseason, averaging 17 points and 11 rebounds while recording four double - doubles. Kawhi Leonard played a big factor in the win as well though as he recorded 18 points (5 - 16 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 8 - 10 FT) and nine rebounds over 36 minutes. While he did n't shoot the ball all that efficiently, he still got to the line enough to post a solid line in the end. The Spurs did see a very nice contribution from their bench, as Boris Diaw, Patty Mills and Manu Ginobili all reached double figures. Ginobili finished with 14 points (3 - 8 FG, 2 - 4 3Pt, 6 - 6 FT) and six assists, while Mills added 13 points (4 - 5 FG, 4 - 4 3Pt, 1 - 1 FT) while nearly going perfect from the field. Keeping the Clippers close in this game was Blake Griffin, who finished with a game - high of 30 points (10 - 25 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 10 - 14 FT), while also adding 14 rebounds, seven assists and four steals. Griffin scored 21 of those points in the first half and he seemed to struggle during the fourth quarter, but he was still huge for this team as he did a little bit of everything despite the loss. Chris Paul had some very impressive plays, multiple times making defenders nearly fall over because of his crafty dribbling. Paul went 7 - for - 14 from the field but missed both of his three - point attempts to score 19 points, to go along with 10 assists over 41 minutes. Continuing his domination of the boards, DeAndre Jordan posted 21 points (7 - 9 FG, 7 - 16 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocked shots. He was fouled over and over again and sent to the line because the Spurs knew he has n't shot free throws well all year. It really payed off for them as Jordan made just 7 - of - 16 free throw attempts. The Clippers shot just 1 - for - 14 from the three - point line, which will always make it very tough to win. These two teams will take the court again on Thursday in San Antonio for game six.
