Result: Win
Western Conference Playoff Game of the Year

As we have proven, the so-called NBA zigzag theory is a virtual wash. It is above .500 long-term but a slight loss with the juice. However, various bounce back angles, which take several other factors into consideration, do win long-term.

One of the best is when a team off loss as fairly significant favorites, they almost exactly a 60 percent play. But now all the intangibles that the Spurs have pays off. The Spurs are better than their record because they paced themselves all year.

The nucleus has won five NBA Championships. The Clippers have a long history of fading in big games.

The road team has won four of the last five, so we like the Spurs before all the intangibles. But having been there and won that makes this bet too strong to pass up.
