San Antonio’s Manu Ginobili did not have one of his better games Saturday when his team played host to the Clippers, who walloped the Spurs 105-85 at AT&T Center in San Antonio. Ginobili had just nine points on 2 of 7 shooting – 0 of 3 from 3-point range – and made just 5 of 10 from the free-throw line. But he had nothing but praise for the Clippers.

“It is always a combination,” Ginobili said. “It was a very poor game. They played much, much better than us in every aspect of the game. Boards, offense, defense and moving the ball. We were behind the whole game and we never had  a chance.”

The Clippers (33-15) next play Monday at Brooklyn (18-28).
