How the game played out

The Clippers' 43-19 second quarter built a lead that reached 20. Miami fought back with a 54-40 edge in the paint and 50 rebounds, and the Clippers turned it over 20 times. Giannis made two free throws with 10.8 seconds left for a 107-106 lead before Rui Hachimura tied it at the line with 2.7 left. In overtime Garland scored all nine Clippers points, but Adebayo and Thompson answered, and Thompson's 23-footer off a Giannis pass decided it.

Trends to watch

• Thompson took 17 threes in 35 minutes and made 8, the kind of volume that puts his threes market in play.
• Adebayo played 41 minutes and took 20 shots, which supports his rebounds and assists lines as well as his points.
• Without Beal and Ingram, Garland played 39 minutes and Hachimura 37 with 18 shots, so their lines are worth tracking while those two are out.
