Despite knocking down just six of his attempts, the Clippers were able to come back and force overtime, after being down by ten in the fourth quarter. The game was tied at 92 with under a minute to play when Patty Mills fouled Chris Paul and Paul knocked down two free throws to put the Clippers up 94 - 92.
