In the second half, Bogdan regained his touch and hit consecutive outside shots to help the Clippers continue to take the initiative. However, the team misfired again.

Entering overtime, Marshall scored the first point with a counterattack and layup. The Clippers were unable to score. Zubac made two free throws under the basket to break the drought.
