OKC fans must be thanking god that the AFC title game is on right now so nobody sees that score. Yikes.

Hope Detroit didn't cash in all their sports mojo on the wrong team today.

League has become so "live by the three, die by the three" that it's almost guaranteed a team will lose, regardless of how superior they might be, if they are having an off night from behind the arc.
It's an "off day" in the regular season, won't mean much. But you better have a contingency plan, if you are not making your shots in a playoff game.

FTR, Clips were 10-40 from 3 vs the Celts. Same as the Celts.

I kind of feel like the Clippers have been similar team, however as posted above they have been scoring more in the paint and making less 3s lately. The defensive effort against BOS was something that if they can reproduce in the playoffs or get accustomed to doing regularly they can certainly lean on to win games when the shots aren't falling. All in all, lately they seem to be using whatever tools they have to win differently in games, hot shooting helps, but defense wins the titles .
