Three takeaways on the Clippers

■ Luke Kennard played his first meaningful minutes since Feb. 15 once the concussion suffered by Marcus Morris further depleted the Clippers’ reserves, who were already missing forward Patrick Patterson because of personal reasons. Kennard played only five minutes, as coach Tyronn Lue relied on virtually an eight-man rotation in the second half.

■ Making free throws has been the easy part for the Clippers, whose 84% accuracy leads the league. The challenge has been getting the opportunity. Even for a team whose 19.6 free throws per game are third fewest in the NBA, Tuesday was a striking dip — eight makes on nine attempts.

■ The Clippers made eight of their 16 corner three-pointers to continue to hold the NBA’s top shooting percentage from corners this season: 50.3%.
