WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.200 The game is over, Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:09.240 reaction has just be gone. Kawhi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. 3 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:13.439 This is Clippers locker row, a recap of today's game and a look 4 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:18.280 ahead on your hope for LA Clippers basketball at now your host, You, 5 00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:24.800 sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Kawhi Leonard says, come 6 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.399 with me if you want to win the terminator hits, the game winning jumper 7 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:33.240 and the Clippers when one nineteen o one seventeen in Charlotte over the Hornets, 8 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.399 in the return of Kawhi PG and Luke Kennard and this one coming up, 9 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.200 we'll get to your second half highlights, your post game box score. You'll 10 00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.479 hear from Kawhi and the players and head coach. But first, back to 11 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.719 Noah Eagle in Charlotte. Noah, it's what we've come to expect from Kawhi 12 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.159 Leonard. And even though he was struggling throughout the game, he wasn't in 13 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.159 the fourth quarter. I mean, how perfect is that? First of all, 14 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.759 I'm just watching the replay right now, and right as he put it 15 00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.439 up, Brandon Boston has given the sign like it's good. It's good he's 16 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.760 given like that, and one side of yeah he did. He sweet talked, 17 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.599 no doubt. But how fitting is it that his first game back, 18 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.840 not only is the game and the balance with the ball in his hands, 19 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.959 but of course he knocks down the shot. It's just it's too perfect, 20 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:23.400 and it's it's a perfect example, microcosm and everything in between of what this 21 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.560 Clipper team needs to get them over the top. And it's Kawhi Leonard playing 22 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.040 like Kawhi Leonard. They are really really good even without him, and they 23 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.120 proved that last year forty two wins essentially without him and Paul George, and 24 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.480 they were well on pace to doing that and then some again this year even 25 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.560 if they didn't come back. But this is why you need those guys game 26 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.959 on the line. Who makes the plays, Well, it's Paul George tapping 27 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.079 it to Leonard. Then they get to stop who grabs a huge rebound over 28 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.480 Mason plumbly Paul George again, and then the recognition from PG to see Leonard 29 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.519 has the mismatch that they're looking for, and then the presence of mind, 30 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.519 the experience and the talent to go and knock it through well, Kawhi Leonard 31 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.400 delivers it and he does it just calmly, and you know what, it 32 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:09.759 wasn't even stoic. He actually did show a little emotion. I think that 33 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.919 had to feel good for a guy that's missed as much time as he has, 34 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.639 has been frustrated that he's been sidelined. For that to be the first 35 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.280 game back, that's got to be a monkey off his back as well. 36 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.960 Emotion chip activated as Kawhi goes four of six from the field with eight points 37 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.039 in that fourth quarter, hit the last four points for the Clippers. But 38 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.240 even on that putback layup, there was a great effort tip play by Paul 39 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.360 George to get it to him exactly. And that's the example the two on 40 00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.360 three connection playing in harmony. When they've played together over the course of their 41 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:46.280 tenure in Clipper uniforms, they're almost unstoppable. Their record is impeccable. They 42 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.199 are on a fifty something wind page fifty seven, fifty eight level wind pace 43 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.599 when they've played together over the course of the four seasons. They've figured it 44 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:59.879 out. And I told you it's similar to when you defeat a video game. 45 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.120 The first time I used the example of Super Mario Bros. With the 46 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.039 girl in our town that was really good at it, Princess shows me and 47 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.360 my sister. Yeah, I'll use it again. Right, So when you 48 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.159 first go through it, it's hard to beat a level and you get stuck 49 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.960 on a level and you can't get through. But you finally beat at the 50 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.840 one time, and then let's say you start the game over again, Well 51 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.639 it might only take you three tries instead of twenty five tries like it did 52 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.719 the first time. So that's the way I look at it. Here where 53 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.680 Kawai and Keg they know the blueprint. They figured it out in that Utah 54 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.400 series. So now it's just about finding it again and it should come a 55 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.560 lot quicker than it did the first time around. As evidence by tonight, 56 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.159 it's like they got the game Genie two. Clippers winning this one off of 57 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:44.080 Kawhi Leonard game winning jumper one nineteen to one seventeen over the Charlotte Hornets. 58 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.520 Their next game, first of a back to back, starts in Orlando on 59 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.919 Wednesday, same tip time at four.

Second half highlights Clippers 75 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.800 led by nine at the half, it was sixty three to fifty four, 76 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.839 but things flipped around and eighteen point turnaround in that third quarter as they found 77 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.120 themselves down by nine, down by six heading into the fourth. But early 78 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:25.199 on that fourth quarter it was the former Charlotte Hornet and Nicholas Batoum and Luke 79 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.839 Kennard who was back for this game, doing some big work from distance wall 80 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.279 driving right feeds right wing three.

But then the starters were going to 94 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.040 close things out, and who else but the claw had to have the ball 95 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.759 in his hands. Lead Leonard down the right alley all the way to the 96 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.079 rim. Oh the up and under reverse goes down Kawhi Leonard and double figures 97 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:56.240 with ten in his return.

We got postgame audio from the clock Kawhi Leonard and you'll 150 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.320 hear from the head coach in Tehron Lou. But what a return. Welcome 151 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:33.080 back Kawuhi, Welcome back Paul George, Welcome back Luke Kinnard, and welcome 152 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.480 back Clipper Nation. Fans who were on the outs the last couple of days, 153 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.840 who were frustrated, one to see Kawhi Leonard and Paul George out there. 154 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.919 They're back back with a bang, back with a game winner back playing 155 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.679 twenty eight minutes. Was Kawhi Leonard in this one. Mostly you have played 156 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.960 before this game and the previous five was twenty five, played twenty eight and 157 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.720 they were necessary. Had eight of his sixteen points in that fourth quarter, 158 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.919 four of six and the fourth and scored the last four points a hustle put 159 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.639 back lay up off the hustle from Paul George to tip it to him on 160 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:16.240 an offensive board. Just a beautiful two on three connection play there. That 161 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.559 could be something that gets this team or really rolling again if they could stay 162 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.639 healthy. Get Norn Powl back now too. The Clippers are going to be 163 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.440 in great shape. And we talked about it earlier. Remember what coach lew 164 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.679 said pregame asked Noah Eagle about this. There was an interesting quote that came 165 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.000 out where he said, it's hard to really assess our team because our guys 166 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.639 have been out for so long, but this next stretch of twenty to twenty 167 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.919 five games is going to be very important for us. Tonight's the start of 168 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.799 something new. Boy, was it ever a Kawhi game winner? Okay, 169 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:54.759 nothing new there, We've seen that before. He's been doing that in his 170 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.360 entire career. A two time Defensive Player of the Year winner, two time 171 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.600 champion, two time finals MVP with two different organizations. He's trying to make 172 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.240 it three now and give the Clippers their first ring and Larry O b as 173 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.559 a franchise. That is the goal. And people are freaking out on me 174 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.720 on Twitter saying what's going on doing some sky is falling, prisoner of the 175 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:24.039 moment, moment panic stuff. And I told him, guys, they got 176 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.639 fifty eight games left. Now, fifty seven left. You don't want to 177 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.519 rush these guys back if they're not ready yet. You don't want to exacerbate 178 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.679 and further the injury that keeps them out of the lineup longer. You want 179 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.159 them back when they're feeling right and the doctors clear them. I know guys 180 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.240 want to play. You gotta protect players from themselves. Kawi wanted to play 181 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:50.720 when he had stiffness in his right knee in that game in Okac. Paul 182 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.279 George, I'm sure wanted to play. Luke and Are wanted to play before 183 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.080 they got in today. But now is the right time. Four game road 184 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:03.320 trip, a tough Dember schedule, and now maybe the Clippers can gain some 185 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:09.679 continuity and consistency out there. Because it wasn't up and down ball game. 186 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.159 Still, they led by thirteen in the second quarter, but they couldn't run 187 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.399 away with it up by ninth a half. There was an eighteen point turnaround 188 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.879 where they were down by nine with four minutes left in the third quarter. 189 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:26.120 Clippers came out lethargic in the third like they had the last couple of games, 190 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.600 but more understandable than because it didn't have the cavalry with them. But 191 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.200 the starters didn't have a good opening to that third quarter. To say the 192 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.159 least. They got outscored by fifteen there in the third. Terry Scary Rozier 193 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:43.159 had thirteen points thirteen of his eventual twenty two in the third. Kelly Oubre 194 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.600 Junior, who had sixteen in the first half, well, he had twelve 195 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.039 more in the second half. He was very good. He's had twenty or 196 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.879 more and seven of his last eight games now, I want to say. 197 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.759 And the Clippers were down by six heading into the fourth what happened then? 198 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.159 It was the bench unit that woke up and Luke Kennard started off the quarter 199 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.639 with a four point play. Welcome back, Luke Newcomb. I mean, 200 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:20.200 just an impactful performance in his first game back, seven to fifteen, sixteen 201 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.960 points. I'd say, oh, three from three, any right, I 202 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.879 didn't call that along too? Is that what the discrepancy was with the score? 203 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.120 They ended up calling that along too. We didn't know for the longest 204 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.480 time in the fourth quarter there were two different scores going on. When the 205 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:39.759 Clippers down by three or were they down by two? Seems pertinent, seems 206 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.759 like something you might want to know. Different plays could be called depending on 207 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.759 how much you're down. They ended up figuring it out with about two minutes 208 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.840 left, after Paul George was called for a technical because he was frustrated because 209 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.080 he got beat defensively and threw the ball at the stanchion and back into his 210 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.600 hands. If he didn't say anything to anyone else, if he didn't say 211 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:07.320 anything to an official or an opponent there, I don't understand the technical you 212 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:08.960 wanna talk about, no harm, no foul. The ball went right back 213 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.240 into his hands. He threw it off the stanch and understandably frustrated. It 214 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.960 didn't look like he said it said anything. That is just in a game, 215 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.759 and a one point game with two minutes left, you're gonna give a 216 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.600 team a technical free throw there, and that's how the Hornets tied the ball 217 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:32.639 game. So a close back and forth contest late. But you know what 218 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.159 close games like this, Brian Seman, I'm gonna butcher this saying that he 219 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.759 has. But those blowout wins gets your fat and happy and unprepared. It's 220 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:47.919 the close wins that make you more battle tested. And for the Clippers to 221 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:52.840 have a win like this, if you had any questions about their morale or 222 00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:57.080 confidence and where this team was at state of the Clippers, this is exactly 223 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:03.240 the type of momentum victory that can carry that can start to turn the season 224 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.839 back in your favor. And they're still fourteen to eleven, with Kawhi playing 225 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:14.359 six games, with Paul George missing nine, with Luke Kennard out the last 226 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.240 three weeks, seems like they're in a pretty good position in the Western Conference. 227 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.920 Nobody's running away with it. Phoenix is starting to heat up. But 228 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.400 Kawhi Leonard doing his best work in the fourth quarter. Seen it before, 229 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.480 the opponents have seen it before. Two and that mid range, step back, 230 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.720 unguardable shot that he has in his bag, acl is not going to 231 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.759 affect that. It's just all skill, that game winner. It's too tough 232 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:47.759 to guard. It's one of those playoff type of shots, mid range live 233 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:52.720 still in the playoffs and in big moments in a tie game. One seventeen 234 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:57.559 was the score with twenty seconds left and the Clippers had the basketball and Kawhi 235 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.839 Leonard do you know what, Katie? Can we play the game winner one 236 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.599 more time? I want everybody here, Noah Eagles brilliant call here to give 237 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:08.200 the Clippers the victory five seconds left, Letard facing up three seconds left, 238 00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:18.519 step back eighteen but her cool, Kawhi Leonard, he delivers what a welcome 239 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:27.039 back and a superstar has come out to play once again. It's what he 240 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:34.680 does. He lives for those moments. The flaw little Toy story sound for 241 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:41.240 you. He is most comfortable in those high pressure situations, in chaos, 242 00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:47.079 he's at his best. The game slows down because he didn't look great. 243 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:52.000 He didn't look to be in much of a rhythm heading into the fourth quarter. 244 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.680 Do you want to know what Kawhi Leonard had. Who's still struggling from 245 00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.839 the outside, And I think that's gonna be a critic cold piece here, 246 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.119 a missing piece of the puzzle. When he starts to really look like himself, 247 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.640 he's gonna start hitting threes again. I think he's started off this season 248 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.599 something like two of twenty from the outside, and he's a good three point 249 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:14.920 shooter, but going into the fourth he had just eight points on three of 250 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.279 nine shooting, five boards and assists. He was a minus two in the 251 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:23.880 game at that time when they were down by six hitting into the fourth and 252 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.759 he ends up scoring eight in just the fourth quarter alone, in the last 253 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:36.000 six minutes after the Clippers bench gave them a five point lead when they were 254 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:41.720 heading into the fourth quarter down by six. Credit John Wall was some great 255 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:47.200 kickouts and his drive and kick ability. He had twelve assists to just three 256 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:52.079 turnovers, twelve points. Four of thirteen shooting did hit a three pointer, 257 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.359 just three or six from the free throw line. Some are saying, I 258 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:56.720 shouldn't have brought it up pre game. Then he hit seventeen of his last 259 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.400 eighteen. I was told pregame it's cool, just not during in the game. 260 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:04.519 Plus broadcasters, jinkst you're really gonna call me a broadcaster? How can 261 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:11.319 that even apply to me? Exactly? But the pace that he played with 262 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:17.400 and the way he found guys. There was a beautiful three pointer that was 263 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:22.200 knocked down. I want to say it was by Marcus Morris, and it 264 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:29.880 was off a quick pass from Wall to Kennard and then it was but Toomb 265 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.519 not Morse. Just two really good passes. So John Wall would have the 266 00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:40.279 hockey assist in that situation. Luke Kennard ended up with the assist. But 267 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.200 but Tom let it go almost before they even touched his hands. He has 268 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:47.440 that quick release from the outside. And you don't think that game meant a 269 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.839 little bit more to him. Take an incoming and booze from Hornets fans. 270 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.640 He had thirteen. All of his makes were from distance, four of six, 271 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:03.960 two of them came in the fourth quarter. Big shots as part of 272 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.000 the recipe for this Clippers team when they're getting big victories, it usually involves 273 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:12.480 some critical shot by patomb Late a three pointer. But I thought the ball 274 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:18.599 movement there want to highlight that it was brilliant. Marcus Morris also had I 275 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.440 think this was in the first half. He had a three ball off the 276 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.559 movement from Kawai and Paul George, and look better out there next to those 277 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.759 guys, wouldn't you know? Five of twelve just two of eight from distance. 278 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:33.839 But considering how much he had been struggling, he was my player to 279 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.519 watch. I think he was eight for his last thirty five from the field, 280 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.000 and he goes five of twelve because he was getting open looks. The 281 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.240 Clippers were generating more open looks. It's not just because they were better with 282 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:51.880 ball movement. It's because the gravity of Kauai oh Paul George into an extent 283 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.759 Luke and Art when you have the best three point shooter out there, And 284 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.559 he did get credit for that three pointer because he went to a three from 285 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:04.200 distance that four point player earlier. He finished with nine points three or five, 286 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.519 shooting two of three from distance. That's what makes everything so much easier. 287 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:15.640 And guys roles and what's needed from them and asked of them. It 288 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.480 starts to fall into place. Because this is the squad they're supposed to have. 289 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.440 Still missing Norman Powell, that's a huge piece. But anything close to 290 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:29.519 hole for this Clippers team and they can do damage. That's how good they 291 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.319 are. But they did end up with thirty assists on their forty five mats, 292 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:40.079 and a lot of it was from John Wall with twelve assists. Paul 293 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.720 George was seven. Did have a couple of curious turnovers in that third quarter. 294 00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:48.160 But Paul George had a really good game twenty eight minutes, nineteen points, 295 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.039 eight of fifteen, shooting two or four from the outside, was smooth 296 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.799 with it. I want to say he had twelve of his nineteen in the 297 00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.519 first half, and when their offense did stall in that third quarter, he 298 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:04.799 was the only guy making shots. Reggie five or thirteen with thirteen points. 299 00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:10.680 He hit three three pointers. Catch and shoot Reggie because he's getting good looks. 300 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:17.200 Terrence man at a huge tip jam in this one off a miss from 301 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.759 Paul George. Where's fault on it? A lot of good contributions. I 302 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:25.160 think Moses Brown not getting enough credit in his ten minutes, had eight and 303 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:30.119 seven and redirected some shots and got credited for a block. Clippers win one 304 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.279 nineteen to one seventeen over the Hornets. Still looking for postgame audio from your 305 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:38.920 hero Kawhi Leonard. He hits the game winner with one point four seconds left. 306 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:44.240 A skip bayliss one point four left. Clippers hold on to win by 307 00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.799 two in Charlotte.

Finished with just sixteen, but had eight of those points in the 327 00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:25.880 fourth quarter that scored the last four points of the ball game. A hustle 328 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.720 put back lay up before that, with thirty nine seconds left off a ball 329 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:33.000 that was saved from going out of bounce by Paul George got it to his 330 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.119 running mate and the Clippers come through in their first game back in some time. 331 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.759 Was some pretty critical players, I would say, who are missing. 332 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.640 In fact, this was the first game for Kawhi Leonard since November twenty feet, 333 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:49.039 first game for Paul George since November nineteenth, first game for Lukenard since 334 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:56.079 November fifteenth, first game for all three since October twenty three.

What's up here? 338 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:10.880 On? Clippers stop without a auslin? Hey, what's up at him? 339 00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.319 Thank you for I take him a call? My god, there must 340 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.920 be a full moon. I couldn't believe it when I before the game, 341 00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.279 I saw the uh I went online. It's like Luke is coming back, 342 00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.279 Kawai and Paul George at the same time. I'm like, wow, I 343 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.640 mean and it was. It was nice to see. And during the game, 344 00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:30.680 I mean, it just they need some time to play together. So 345 00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:34.039 I kind of knew it was gonna be a close game. But at the 346 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:38.880 end, I guess when kah I made that that game winner shot. It 347 00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:41.960 just gave me goose bumps and reminding me back in the days, like a 348 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:47.519 couple of years ago, reminiscent of what two thousand, nineteen twenty twenty, 349 00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:49.279 when a couple of games they had game winners. So I was like, 350 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:53.000 man, it's been a while since, uh since that happened. So I'm 351 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:57.160 so happy and also, Adam, next thing is the next couple of games. 352 00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:03.480 I believe they play Orlando, Miami and the Wizard. Is that correct? 353 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:08.519 Coming up? It's Orlando first, Miami, Yeah, and then the 354 00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.839 Wizards all on the road, next three on the road, then they come 355 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.359 back home and take on the Boston Celtics next Monday night in downtown LA. 356 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.720 Yeah. So so if they win the next three games and could go for 357 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:21.480 and on this road trip, and then they could come back home and then 358 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.240 you could chance it could probably be a second third even horse set. So 359 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.960 see what happens. But after this game, I know they're gonna win the 360 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:33.720 next three, So it's a it's a really good start. So thank you, 361 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:36.880 Adam, thank you for taking with them. Positive call from Javier. 362 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.880 There are we still looking for Kawhi lettering postgame audio. How do we got 363 00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:45.960 it? We've had it for a while. Well that's all I want. 364 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:49.880 Okay, let's hear it. Kawhi Leonard on Valley Sports with Jimmie Maggio. 365 00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:56.920 Yes, sir, don't get him look into send it back down to Jamie. 366 00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.680 You're standing by with a man of the All right, guys, thanks 367 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.640 some quite great to see you out on the court tonight. How did it 368 00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.599 feel for you to be in that moment and able to hit the game winner? 369 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.839 Felt good? My teammates trusting me, They say who it was on 370 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.480 me at the beginning It was Rosio, but they did a great job switching 371 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.000 and I was able to get the spot in the ball in my spot and 372 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.880 shot the ball confidently. How did you feel throughout the game? Just your 373 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.039 sixth game up the season? How how did you feel physically? I felt 374 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.680 good. I mean, we can't wait to get back playing in a rhythm. 375 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.119 Man, you know, playing more minutes. H But you know, 376 00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.920 I'm taking a challenge and I'm happy we got the win to night. I'm 377 00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:40.000 happy as well. Can you talk about how you guys were able to get 378 00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:41.640 the wins night? Because it looked like it could have gone either way. 379 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.079 There in the second half, our bench came in and played a great game. 380 00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.359 We gave up the lead in that first uh. In that third quarter, 381 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.000 they pushed it. They did a good job the Hornets did by giving 382 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.319 up eight or nine points. Second unit came in, got us back up 383 00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:57.160 six seven points and we was able to close it out. Great way to 384 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:03.119 start the trip. Thanks quite a few words, but many buckets in that 385 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.200 fourth quarter. In the game winner, there was Kawhi Leonard post game Clippers 386 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:12.839 win one nineteen to one seventeen in Charlotte over the Hornets, and this was 387 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.640 with no Roco playing, no Brandon Boston Junior, Noah mere Coffee, and 388 00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:22.359 Norman Powell still out with that growing injury. Kawhi played in our thirty minutes, 389 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.440 so did Paul George. They both looked like maybe they were going to 390 00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:30.079 be capped at twenty eight. Entered the game with about six minutes left. 391 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.759 In that fourth quarter. It was dicey. It was back and forth. 392 00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:40.119 Kelly Ubray Junior has been on a heater, Terry Rosier is not afraid of 393 00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:42.720 anybody, and PJ. Washington had a big game two with twenty six. 394 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.480 So the Clippers had to earn this one, but I think it's better that 395 00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:55.519 way. They'll learn more in close games like this than from big blowouts. 396 00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:57.119 Now you want to see some of those, so guys get rest and they 397 00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:02.359 got a back to back coming up. But it was still good to see 398 00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.920 the two on three connection. First of all, Paul George zero rust. 399 00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:11.400 I mean he had a couple of bad turnovers. He normally has that anyway, 400 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.559 so you can still say zero rust. But his three point shooting look 401 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.480 great. He was in rhythm. Kawai still not. He was late when 402 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:23.839 he needed to be, but overall he's short with a lot of jumpers short 403 00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:32.039 from distance. Missed an easy one to lay up in transition had it redirected. 404 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.160 I don't think he pushes himself, just like when we see playoff Kawai 405 00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.240 and how much different he looks there in the biggest moments like Game six and 406 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:44.720 must win on the road in Dallas. He knows when to ramp up and 407 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.640 find that extra gear, and that's what he did in the fourth quarter. 408 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.359 But I think one of the indicators will be with him when he's really feeling 409 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:59.839 good is when he starts hitting more shots from the outside. He's just short 410 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.519 on a lot of those three pointers wide open or not. Most of the 411 00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.640 time they're covered because he's Kawhi, But that's we'll know. Okay, the 412 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.400 timing, the rhythm, He's starting to get back and sync. But the 413 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.640 good news is until then, and I said this on Twitter, like Paul 414 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:18.559 George has to be the number one right now. Doesn't mean he has to 415 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.519 do in the last two minutes. But overall, I assume he's going to 416 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.079 be playing heavier minutes than Paul George or excuse me, than Kawhi Leonard, 417 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:32.279 and Paul George will have more of the scoring load on his plate, on 418 00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:37.839 his shoulders, and that's to be expected early on this season as Kawhi Leonard 419 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.599 comes along. But they got fifty seven games left to figure this out, 420 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.200 and I don't think it's gonna take that long because we've seen the flashes before. 421 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:49.039 And look, those two cemented themselves as the two one three connection and 422 00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:53.680 a great duo during that playoff run in twenty twenty one four. Kawai went 423 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:59.880 out he and Paul George were playing their best basketball together. They figured it 424 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:07.400 out in high intensity situations. That's important. They'll definitely be able to figure 425 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:09.160 out here in the regular season, as long as they can stay healthy and 426 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:15.799 get those reps. But excited to see what comes next. Hopefully Norman Powell's 427 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.759 on the men and he's able to give it a go sooner than later. 428 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:23.240 I'm not sure if he's with the team yet on this road trip, though. 429 00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:29.279 That is some information I'm still trying to clean. I'll look at a 430 00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:32.960 few different reporters, Law Murray of the Athletic to see if he asked that 431 00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:36.880 question postgame of coach lu Coming up, we will hear from Coach Lee. 432 00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:38.759 We'll get back to your phone calls eight six six nine eight seven two five 433 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:45.160 seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy Kawhi Leonard game winner from 434 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:54.680 sixteen. Just tough bucket, but he makes it look easy coming off the 435 00:32:54.680 --> 00:33:01.039 ACL and still making those clutch shots. And it's just gonna get better from 436 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:06.960 here.

You're listening to La 446 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:50.960 Clippers basketball out but up to clip puts it down. Pus the foul every 447 00:33:51.039 --> 00:34:00.559 game all season long on their official home We're making ye all out. Kawhi's 448 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:05.440 first make was a hook shot. His last make was a jumper for the 449 00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.679 win in Charlotte over the Hornets. Clippers win one nineteen to one seventeen to 450 00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:15.280 start off this four game roady Wednesday, they'll be in Orlando taking on the 451 00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:16.960 Magic. I don't want to wait any longer for this. I want to 452 00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:22.440 hear it. Let's hear from coach Loop post gave after the Clippers get the 453 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:24.800 two point victory. Thanks to the heroics from Kawhi Leonard we was just talking 454 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:28.719 about in the lockerroom. Name was great. I thought John Wall, Lucar 455 00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:34.800 Nico, Nico's presence on Roch Year just picking him up full court, denying 456 00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.280 him, trying to tire him down. But I thought our bench was huge. 457 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.679 They really in that third quarter, you know, got us back in 458 00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:43.840 the game and really won the game for us. I know Kawhi made a 459 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.679 big shot, but our bench was huge for us today. Shot I was 460 00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:52.480 huge. I think a great momentum builder for him going forward, and just 461 00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.639 happy to see those guys back on the floor. I thought Peg did a 462 00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:59.199 great job, especially in that first half of scoring the basketball, distributing the 463 00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:01.360 ball, getting guys these shots. Had seven assists and no turnovers in the 464 00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:05.360 first half, and then you know, having thirty one assists, you know, 465 00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.559 with those guys on the floor, like I said, it's gonna cause 466 00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.800 teams with double team, teams with digital things and now used to doing and 467 00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:14.719 we're gonna get open shots. And so thirty six threes for us, it 468 00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:19.000 is huge because we've been wanting to shooting more threes and you know, so 469 00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:22.199 just continue to keep building off this. I think that first unit, we 470 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.599 just gotta play a little faster, you know, play a little faster had 471 00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:29.280 in a half court offense, getting to our spots, harder cuts, sharper 472 00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:31.920 cuts, and then playing a little faster and transition as well. But overall, 473 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:35.320 I thought it was a good job. You know, first game back, 474 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.360 I thought we did a good job. And then you were kind of 475 00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:39.480 expecting to see, you know, it take a little bit of time for 476 00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:45.519 Ag and Kauai and everybody around them so kind to get acquitted to having them 477 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:49.360 in the game, how to dig with te I thought with the starters, 478 00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:52.079 it was good to start, and then I thought on the third quarter came 479 00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.440 out of defensively wentn't we weren't very good? And then offensively, I thought, 480 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:58.199 we got a little stagnant, you know what I'm saying, looking for 481 00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.320 those guys, and that's to be expect but we still got to play through 482 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:04.280 the game and so we can't get stagged it. And then the biggest thing, 483 00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:06.239 he's just started a third quarter. But on defense, no, it 484 00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:10.320 wasn't very good. There was coach lou post game after the Clippers win one 485 00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:15.119 nineteen to one seventeen and Charlotte over the Hornets used to a game winner from 486 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:20.960 Kawhi Leonard with one point four seconds left, but the Clippers were pushed. 487 00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:27.039 They were up by eight and it turned into a one point game with two 488 00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:31.800 minutes left and the starters, guys who hadn't played much, had to figure 489 00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:36.440 it out. But that's when you love having Kawhi Leonard. He also had 490 00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:38.599 a nice reverse layup in this one, and when I thought he was starting 491 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:43.239 to find a rhythm, he had I want to say it was a fade 492 00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:47.760 away from the free throw line off a quick pass. I'm not sure who 493 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:52.639 got credited for the assist on that one, but he just wasted no time 494 00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:55.320 and pulled up and knocked it down. Because some of the time right now, 495 00:36:55.519 --> 00:37:00.760 it seems like he's taking longer to get to with spots. He's taking 496 00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:07.360 longer to get through his routine in working that defender and getting him off balance, 497 00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:10.960 and I think that's just a timing rhythm thing. It was always going 498 00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:15.920 to take time. But when time is of the essence, well you call 499 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:20.199 Kawhi Leonard the time Lord as well as Robert Williams, I guess because he 500 00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:23.519 took over down the stretch. Kawhi with the last four points of the ball 501 00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:29.239 game. Clippers win by two in Charlotte Morrison Long Beach. What's up? 502 00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:31.199 Hey, how you doing, Adam? Miss And I just wanted to say 503 00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.719 this with you. There was a moment in the game when the Clippers had 504 00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:39.920 seventeen goals. Of the seventeen goals, they had thirteen assists. These guys 505 00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:42.880 are looking pretty good. Now, this is what I want to ask Adam. 506 00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:45.320 Now, what is the back to back? They played today? That's 507 00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:49.559 Monday. They played again on Wednesday, Orlando. Did that considered a back 508 00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:53.000 to back? This is a joke. Now. A back to back is 509 00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:59.280 when you play two games and two consecutive days.
