The gameplay stopped and the player's left the court for their first official break. The score was 10-9, with the Blazers in the lead.
Looking at the statistics, the Clippers did not appear to be playing well. They had only made three out of their nine shots. On top of that, they scored on only half of their free throws.
The Blazers didn't play badly. While on defense, they limited the Clippers' field goals to 33%. They caused a terrific turnover as well. Regarding their offense, the Blazers created many chances for unblocked shots with their strategy of cooperation.
The problem was that the Blazers' ball-handling was just average. Their shots were always just slightly off.
Looking at this score, the Blazers' coach, Terry, was dissatisfied. His goal was to dominate the Clippers completely. He wanted to the score to be 10-0, or even 20-0. However, the Blazers were only up by one point now, which didn't make much of a difference.
