Crawford led a late spark that helped keep the score close, but it wasn’t enough
for the Clippers to advance. The 37-year-old guard stepped up and played well
with Blake Griffin (toe) sidelined, averaging 15.3 points (on 49 percent
shooting), 2.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.5 steals in 28.8 minutes from Game 4
on. Depending on what happens with Griffin and Chris Paul this summer, Crawford
could be relied on even more next season.
