It should be obvious by now that the Clippers aren’t going to win a title if they don’t do it together. Being on the same page is crucial on both sides of the ball to truly execute in the Western Conference.

Jamal Crawford has been that silver lining to the Clippers in the same way that Lou Williams has provided for the Lakers. Albeit that their veteran experiences apply differently, the idea of their role with the team is close, if not the same.

Coming off the bench, Crawford led the team in scoring with 21 points. Chris Paul and Marreese Speights both came in second with 15 apiece.

The bench for the Clippers scored 57 of their 98 points. Getting help from a solid bench is also important, but what good does it do without starters that are expected to do great don’t pull through?

It doesn’t do any, if you’re still wondering.
