All of the Clippers said that it was a good thing to return home to Los Angeles on Thursday tied at 1-1 in the best-of-seven first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies.

But still, the Clippers wanted more, and thought they let an opportunity to win Game 2 on Wednesday night slip away.

“We did what we were supposed to do, yeah, win one game,” guard Chris Paul said after Game 2. “But I felt like we could have got two. Now we’ve got to go back home and take care of two.”

“We’ve got two games and we’re going to make a statement,” forward Blake Griffin said.

One statement Griffin and the Clippers hope to make is to stand up to Memphis’ physical play.
