Interesting. Popcorn machine has us 14 of 35 instead of NBA.com at 14/36 (one of Luka's misses was classified differently). They have LAC at 14 of 36 instead of 14 of 38 (they disagree on misses from George and Leonard).
As to the Bobi experience, you can argue that it didn't work. We were -9 with him in the game. The only positive stint was to start the game when LAC was probably wondering "what the hell". We started 7-0, but immediately gave back five of that. We went +6 when Powell and Maxi came in for Bobi and KP.
I wonder though if the idea was to force the Clipper mindset to a more perimeter game. We certainly stopped the lay up line of the previous games and forced LAC to be the team living (or dying) by the three. The Clippers hit 45% of their three's in Q-1, but never got above 40% the rest of the game (and never really got it going on non-3's either). So, is the Bobi experience more about on-court superiority or coaxing a certain mindset out of LAC?
