LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Clippers spent a lot of time at the foul line during practice Sunday, knowing they might not be able to get away with another inept performance.

The Clippers missed 17 of 30 free throws and almost squandered a six-point lead in the final 23 seconds Saturday, beating the Memphis Grizzlies 87-86 only after Rudy Gay missed a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.

Game 4 is Monday night, when the Clippers hope to take a 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference playoffs.

Coach Vinny Del Negro credits the Clippers for making big plays in the final minute and stopping the Grizzlies for much of the final seven minutes. But he and Nick Young say the Clippers have to make their free throws, especially at home.
