He appears to be open in the lane, but then Matt Barnes comes flying in from nowhere to KNOCK THE BALL AWAY. Time expires and THE GAME IS OVER. The Clippers WIN THE GAME, 111 to 109. They WIN THE SERIES, 4 to 3. For the first time since 2012, the Spurs will not win the Western Conference. Also for the first time since 2012, the defending NBA Champion will not be in the final.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-25240947419561151492015-05-02T22:45:17.674-04:002015-05-02T22:45:17.674-04:00The Spurs start to in-bound, and then the horn goe...The Spurs start to in-bound, and then the horn goes off inadvertently.
