Key numbers from Clippers’ 102-81 victory over the Trail Blazers in Game 2
Clippers guard Austin Rivers takes a three pointer and misses as Trail Blazers bench players try to distract him during the second half of Game 2.
The Clippers took care of business at home, sweeping the first two games of their first-round playoff series against the Trail Blazers with relative ease.
Wednesday night a strong fourth quarter propelled by the Clippers bench pushed them to a 102-81 victory at Staples Center.
Here are key numbers from the Clippers’ victory in Game 2:
38.1%
After shooting 35.3% from three-point range in Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round playoffs, the Clippers improved from long distance this time in Game 2.
10
If nothing else in this series, the Clippers are taking care of the basketball. They had just 10 turnovers in the first game and the same number again in the second game.
34.1%
That is the shooting percentage what the Clippers’ stingy defense held the Trail Blazers shooting percentage to in Game 2, which comes on the heels of Los Angeles holding Portland to 39.8% shooting in Game 1.
