The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the best shooting teams in the league and is filled with players who can get hot from behind the arc in no time. However, against the Spurs, who are also one of the top shooting teams in NBA, their three-point shooting disappeared.

They went 10-for-31 from the three-point line compared to Spurs' 10-for-22 and that changed the course of the outcome. In Particular, the Clippers' bench combined for 3-for-17 from behind the arc.

Spurs did a great job of not letting the Clippers team get any open looks and the stats show how much of a difference that made. Even in the starting unit, Tobias Harris went 1-for-4 and was not his usual self.

On a night when the Spurs shot red-hot 45.5 percent from downtown, there was no margin for error and the Clippers' bad three-point shooting never kept them in the game.
