San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 2, 2026

San Antonio's defensive intensity proved decisive in a matchup that undercut expectations significantly. The Spurs dominated at home to secure a 118–99 victory, landing 15.5 points below the 232.5 market total and producing a combined 217 points—well short of the pregame projection. DAGGER leaned over and missed.

The opening quarter set a frenetic pace, with a combined 58 points, the game's highest-scoring frame, as the Spurs raced out to a 33–25 lead. But the second half told a different story. San Antonio's defense tightened considerably after intermission; the combined 105 points across the final two quarters reflected a dramatic slowdown from the 112-point first half. De'Aaron Fox led the Spurs with 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Stephon Castle added 20 points and 5 assists. Kawhi Leonard paced the Clippers with 24 points and 6 rebounds, supported by Bennedict Mathurin's 18 points and 7 boards.

The trajectory diverged sharply from recent head-to-head form. San Antonio's last two meetings against Los Angeles had each cleared 228 points combined; this one landed closer to the teams' lower-scoring margins. San Antonio's 124.3 scoring average over its last 10 games didn't translate to offensive fireworks here—the Spurs managed a more controlled 118—while the Clippers' recent output (117.3 per game) couldn't overcome defensive pressures that mounted as the game progressed. The third quarter (53 combined) and fourth quarter (52 combined) sealed the under.
