Denver goes with split action, Jokic gets a catch KCP and Braun both slip. Clippers catch the switch late, KCP stops and pops for 3. https://t.co/NJu2JIIwgg
Good rotations by the Clippers and they can live with AG at the line. PG wasn't gonna let KCP go over the top for the DHO three again. Really battled there.
