Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm at a maslan to eight sixty six nine
eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy If
you would like to get on tonight or get to me at follow Adam a
on Twitter. Coming up later in the show, we'll have Tone Mayor Bazarrely
on from clutch points. You'll also hear from the head coach, Shron Lou
and Marcus Morris post game, as well as some other players. After the
Clippers, for the first time this season, had Marcus Morris back and he
started off three for three. He fit back in seamlessly. It looked like
he didn't miss a beat from the way he played really his last fifteen games
of the season, when he got very comfortable inside the bubble with this Clippers
team after starting off not shooting the ball great when they first brought him in
from the New York Knicks. But he was good in this one. Two
of six from distance, four of nine from the field, had twelve points
in just eighteen minutes, and it was good to see Muke back out there
on the court after he missed the first eight games with knee Sorenus in his
right knee. But the Clippers overall, they didn't play their best game.
The full power is yet to come. There's a process going on right now.
They're adjusting. But when you can win a basketball game when you have
more turnover then assists, well it tells you just how talented this roster is.
They had twenty turnovers to nineteen assists. As good as they had been
this season moving the basketball, they did struggle mightily. There was more isolation
ball going on in this one. It looked almost like there were a lot
of guys playing together that hadn't played together so far this season, which was
the case PG returns after missing last night's game. Kawhi Leonard, for the
first time in three and a half years, plays the second game of a
back to back, plays both games of a back to back, and he
looked good out there. And remember he was coming off that devastating quadracept injury
and he hadn't played both games of a back to back since April fifteen of
twenty seventeen. This is a big development here. We didn't see it at
all last year with the Clippers, but this was something you talked about before
the season with head coach Ron lew He expressed that he was feeling good and
he wanted to play more back to backs. It's still going to be dependent
on how he feels. That injury was very serious, but he had twenty
one points in thirty five minutes, not a huge game. Same with PG
thirteen, who was just five of fifteen. He also had twenty one points.
But when you combine those two guys points and their output there, they
combined for forty two. But the big deal out of that was they had
thirty one of their forty two points in the second half. They had the
Clippers first sixteen points of the third quarter, the two one three connection,
and in fact, we saw Paul George hit Kawhi Leonard for an alley oop.
I don't think we saw that play or a play like that all of
last year when they only played fifty games together on the court. So that
chemistry is coming, that continuity is building, and when you can win when
you don't play your best basketball, that's not a bad thing. It just
tells you how talented and how loaded this team is. And they're gonna eventually
mesh and I think there's gonna be a lot of opportunities for blowouts of this
season once they do come together completely. But still, there were some really
good performances in this one. And I've gone too long without talking about Saint
Nicholas Batoum, who went baboom with two three pointers down the stretch, clutch
shots. He had thirteen points, three of ship six shooting from the outside.
He's shooting over forty five percent from three. There were a lot of
people, I'm not going to name any names, but they weren't so sure
about this signing. It was the last player to join the Clippers this off
season. That was Nicholas Batoum. They had good luck with that last year
with Pat pat Patrick Patterson, he came in late, made an impact for
them, shot thirty nine percent last season. Nicholas Batoum might do him one
better with all the different ways he can affect the game. This is a
special player that's a veteran that's finding himself again in the right situation with a
team that's going to optimize his skill set. That's what sold him on joining
the Clippers. And he had five boards in this one, didn't have an
assist, did have a steal, but it was the timing of those three
pointers late and guys finding him and looking for him late, just like they
did in the game with PG thirteen dishing it to him against the Phoenix Suns
for the biggest shot of the ball game. There's some type of clutch gene
factor going on with Nicholas Batoum that you'll like to see out there. He
is that glue guy. He's compared himself or he is trying to be inspired
by players like bors Dio. When he was with the San Antonio Spurs,
he wasn't as talented as he was with the Phoenix Suns. He wasn't as
explosive, but he just kept them in sync and in rhythm offensively. And
then he also brought up someone like Andrea gad Allah, who sacrifice scoring for
winning. When he came to the Golden State Warriors. In fact, he
was moved to coming off the bench. Steve Kerr made that move and they
brought in Draymond Green and the rest is history. They win three championships.
So what Nicholas Batoon provides is someone who is just selfless out there and just
wants to do all the little things, the dirty work and the stuff that's
necessary to win games. I talk about him filling in the cracks in the
offense. Even though they weren't great tonight and the level of passing wasn't up
to snuff or what we've seen so far this season, they were still good
enough when it mattered down the stretch, and defensively, I thought they took
a step forward. The Golden State Warriors had been averaging thirty one points in
the fourth quarter. Steph Curry had been really good, getting ten of his
thirty two points per game in the fourth quarter, and they had one four
or five coming into tonight's contest, and with four minutes left or from the
four minute on till the final buzzer. The Clippers held Golden State to just
four points total. It was something they weren't able to do against San Antonio
yesterday. Remember this is the second game of a back to back, and
the Spurs ended up scoring thirty one points in that fourth quarter. The Clippers
were okay offensively against San Antonio, the problem was their defense failed them.
Not tonight. They really ramped up the defense late. There were some interesting
lineups. We saw Luke Kennard with the starters late and then they went back
to Patrick Beverley, who once again came up with a big three pointer,
just one of five from distance after tying a career high with six may threes
yesterday. But that one was in the fourth quarter, right before Nicholas Batoum
would hit back to back three pointers, and the Clippers had to face some
adversity early in the fourth. They're up six going into the fourth quarter,
and within a couple of minutes they're down six. The Warriors went on a
twelve zero run to start the four and I believe took their first lead of
the ball game on a shot made by Andrew Wiggins, who had an efficient
nineteen points for them. But Steph Curry, who was coming off a sixty
two point game followed by an efficient thirty point game, he goes just five
of seventeen for thirteen points, one of six from distance. That's Pat Beverly.
That's team defense, and that's the strategy that's been used by ty Low
against Superstars, where he likes to mix up his coverages. Don't continue to
give them the same looks because Superstars will figure that out and eventually beat you.
But they have a lot of good perimeter defenders and Steph Curry had to
face them tonight, scoring just thirteen points. A lot of it though,
was Patrick Beverly. This is a matchup that he relishes, that he looks
forward to their friends. They're boys, and even though Pat was just two
of eight from the field, just had seven points. He had a huge
impact on the game with just his defense and hustle plays and having three assists.
Somebody else who played a little bit better in this one, even though
he still only got up two shots. But a Visa Zubats was two of
two and ten minutes. Problem was he was in foul trouble. I thought
there were a couple of tikie tack fouls that went against him, but sweet
Low Williams found him with a nice dish. And also Serge Ibaka, who
was my player to watch. He had just three points in five rebounds yesterday
on one of seven shooting. You knew he was going to turn that around.
He had a three pointer in the third quarter. He finishes with twelve
points and fourteen boards. And oh yeah, he had two or three blocks.
Why does my box score only say one block? We had at least
three a block us by Noah Eagle. Three calls like that tonight. They're
gonna adjust this. But Paul George comes through in that third quarter where he
has eleven points when he only had I think five in the first half.
Kawhi Leonard has eight point points in the fourth quarter. The Superstars were just
good enough and their defense set in late and they would get the one away
to one oh one victory over the Golden State Warriors. Well take a quick
break here, you know what, kill the music. I'm sorry, that's
my bad, Zach. Let's get to Morris in Long Beach. Morris,
you got a good name. Marcus Morris showed up for you tonight. I
wish I had his contract, but I'm gonna share something with you. Tonight
belongs to coach Tyrone Lou. I'm serious. You know, when you're coaching
the best in the world, you know, it's just tough to get some
credit. When you planning with the best in the world, it's tough to
get some credit. But tonight Tyrone Lou showed Heathen coach, and I'm gonna
tell you why your boy Curry need to be drug tested. This guy's been,
like goodness, hundred straight shot sixty points in one game. He's rolling
like a trojan. Tonight. When I looked at this game, I'm like,
what's wrong with him? There was nothing wrong with him. You're right.
The Clippers had a lot of turnovers, They didn't play their best game
offensively, but when it came to fending that guy, they took the ball
out of his hands and they did. They pretty much took him out the
game. What do you mean twenty three points ten and says that's not big
for a guy like him, And I could see it. I'm telling you,
Adam, I could see the defense that they set up for this guy.
And Morris Morrise, you're giving him too much credit and not enough to
the Clippers. He only had thirteen points and five assists. Steph Curry,
Oh Lord, have mercy, But I'm telling you what I saw this coach,
Tyron Loudy, But who's ever responsible for the defense. They won this
game to night because you know this guy can go off. You know,
Wall went off to night for Washington. These guys in the NBA, they're
ridiculous. But when you look at this game to night at him, it
was like, wait a minute, they have something for this guy. And
I never thought anybody would have anything to slow him now, but tonight the
Clippers they slowed him. And you're right on another observation you made. They
didn't have their best game, but they had enough runs in him, and
that's what the NBA's all about, right about runs. They had enough runs
in them to win it. But they had a the good defense. I
mean that defense was nice. When Curry came past that half court thing,
it was almost like they were knocking on the front door offins. I was,
heky, how are you doing? And so I'm gonna give some quidit
to the coach to night because I could see that the defense is with win
this game for them. I mean, you could really see the weddinglight.
Sometimes when the guy goes off like you see George's Like George went off for
thirty nine points the other night. George win that game, Morris, thank
you for the phone call. Great phone call. As always, we're up
against it there, I'm sorry. Plus even before we get out, let's
pause ten seconds for station identification here on AM five seventy LA sports. My
man, this is LA Clippers Basketball A five seventy KLAC Los Angeles, seven
KYSR HD to Los Angeles and iHeart radio station. There's one more under the
radar stat for the Clippers that helped them win this game. They were perfect
from the free throw line. They went twenty five for twenty five. The
last time an NBA eighteam made at least twenty five free throws while remaining perfect
perfect was the Chicago Bulls. I'm back in twenty nineteen, marking ends on
that team. I mean, who even knows Zach Lavine was there then?
But it ain't pretty, it ain't sexy. Making your free throws, though,
can help you win ball games. Clippers win one o eight to one
oh one in Golden State over the Warriors. Coming up next we'll hear from
Toma Razzarli from clutch points. You're listening to Clippers stock here on em five
seventy l A sports every moment all season long. I'm their officials. Why
letters sends it back home? But the Clippers still not come in here.
Clippers win with their full squad with a final score one o eight to one
oh one over the Golden State Warriors. This is Clippers talk. I'm out
of Moslin to eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six
nine eight seven two seventy or gets me on Twitter at follow Adam a.
Let's get to our guests here. Follow him on Twitter at t O M
E r A z A r l y. It's Tomair Azari who covers the
Clippers for clutch points. Tomair a clutch performance once again by Nicholas Batoum.
He hits the two three pointers late. The Clippers pull away with some good
defense. But could anyone have expected play to this level from Nicholas Batoum so
far, even himself? Maybe? I don't know. I mean, I
don't know. I thought he was a good pick up. I did not
expect anything like this. I think I think his play in Charlotte's the last
couple of years, or just injury history, just a bit of unluckiness there
really made us forget how good he was. You know, the other day,
I called him, you know, the French Army Knights for the Clippers.
But you know, I guess the French Army Knife's only a bunch of
wine bottle openers, so I don't think he's that. But no, look
for to him has been tremendous for the Clippers so far. I mean he's
done literally whatever they've meaned, whether it's you know, defending the fours or
the three or the two's playmaking, rebounding, scoring. I mean, the
guy has literally been a Swiss army knife, you know, is he's done
everything for them. It's incredible. I asked him the other day, like,
hey, do you think people forgot about how good you were? And
he just smiled, So I think he was. He was kind of ready
to get this, you know, moved past Charlotte and come to to La
to sort of show off what he can what he can do, and we're
seeing it before very eyes. It's part of the reasons that Marcus Morris approached
TLU today and said, hey, you know, I'm willing to come off
the bench. You should bring me off the bench because the starting unit is
really getting it done. I think by net rating, this starting unit is
probably top two or three right now the entire NBA. So yeah, this
unit is really getting done, and Nick Patum has been a huge, huge
part of it. I would argue he's been the third best player all season
already. No argument for me. I'm partial to Saint Nicholas Patum. But
you mentioned Marcus Morris Senior there. He had twelve points in his first game
this season, hit his first three shots, he looked good. I mean,
they've talked about how much he's practiced with this Clippers team and how much
he's been around the team, and he fit right in right away. But
how do you see his role coming off the bench, Because the one thing
we were talking about here on Clippers Talk for the last week now was if
he does come off the bench, he could be featured more. He could
get more shots because it's less likely he's playing next to the two superstars.
So just before you you know, I hopped on here. We just finished
talking to Marcus and he said, you know, when we asked him about
the decision to come off the bench. What he said was it, Hey,
look, the Clippers rewarded me this offseason by by you know, getting
me what I've earned, but also they did me a solid So I'm a
team guy. I'm willing to do whatever they want. He said he didn't
want ty Loo to feel awkward about approaching him to come off the bench or
anything like that, and so he just went up to t luin today,
I want to come off the bench. And so what this does is,
like you said, it allows him to be featured now in the offense.
Because let's face that, the starting union has a lot of offense as it
is, whether you put the two men in there or whether you Marcus in
there, they have a lot of offense. And so I think what we're
really looking forward to hear is that maybe a bit more playmaking is what's been
missing from the starting lineup before Batoon and said that the Batoum's there, it's
it's it might get tricky if you mess with this. I think Marcus saw
that and saw that, Hey, look the second unit hasn't been able to
score the ball as well this season, So let me just come in.
Let me get a two man game with lou Will in there, with Luke
Kenard, with Big Zoo defending the paint and try to create something else of
that. I think that's really intriguing because I don't know if I will be
willing to say he's a sixth Man of the Year candidate, but I mean,
look, if Marcus Morris is out there defending his butt off, you
know, knocking down three is creating offense for the Clippers with the second unit.
I mean, I don't know what the ceiling for this Clippers team is
because they can be really, really good, but it all depends on health,
for one and really just jelling together. Because we see the first unit
of gelling, but I think we've seen some something missing from the second unit,
and I think Marcus is that missing now. So we'll see. There's
gonna be a lot of games to sort of figure this out. This was
the first of many, hopefully, you know, hopefully everyone stays healthy,
and I'm really looking forward to see what they could do. Yeah, perhaps
Marcus Morris can kind of fill that void with the second unit in a familiar
role where he's more the focal point on offense like he was last season with
the New York Knicks. Who was he and Julius Randall getting it done for
them, Nicks continuing to get it done earlier this season. Somebody we haven't
talked about at least enough to night, Serge Ibaka. He bounces back,
he had just three points and five boards last night, comes right back and
leads them with fourteen rebounds plus twelve points, a big three in the second
half. But Surge has also made this starting unit even better than they were
last season, and they had a really good net rating then too. I
mean that was to be expected. I mean, Surge is an upgrade in
terms of the spacing provides, not over zoobas necessarily, but just it's a
different, different play style. Now you can space the floor out completely,
you can play five out often, you can defend pretty much all five positions
really well. And so I think Surge, I mean, Spurgs had an
uncharacteristic game last game against the Spurs. You know, Tylo talked to us.
He said he felt like they kind of settled for threes too early in
that game, which allowed the Spurs to get long rebounds and runouts in fast
break. And so I think what we stopped today is that the Clippers really
attacked the pink to start the game. They had their dribble drifts to the
basket. They created. Out of that, we start Surge knocked down on
early through from that, and I think, you know, I think sometimes
this team had to settle. But I think also this team just is still
really trying to figure out how to play with one another, and Surge a
big part of that. He can knock. He can give you five throughs
a game. He can also, like you did today, give you,
you know, a couple of baskets inside and fourteen rebounds. So I think
it'll depend on night to night basis what they get. Obviously, the last
night three point performance was not good enough for the Clippers, but I don't
think that's something we'll expect from Searge on a day to day basis. I
think we'll expect, you know, he's been good for about twelve sixteen points
a game, a good eight to nine rebounds a game, and probably a
blocker to the game. So again, this team is really still learning to
figure out how to play with each other. It is still early where this
is sort of the start of a new season now with Marcus Speck, because
now you have two full five man lineups that you want to roll out of
the post season hopefully, I mean type probably won't roll out of ten guys,
but you know, start it starts now. How do they work with
Marcus in the second unit? How does that work with PG in the second
unit? When you you know stagger Kawhi Pg's minutes. Where does storage come
in with Zoo. There's a lot to figure out. I don't really envy
Tyler's job right now, but the Clippers are in good positions, so we'll
see how works up. I think he's the right man for the job with
all this versatility. He's kind of a mad scientist, like like a dark
room guy they call, you know, an offensive coordinator or a Mike Mart's
type in the NFL. That's that's what Tylu t Lou reminds me of a
little bit something else we learned earlier today, and it raised an eyebrow when
I didn't see Kawhi Leonard on the injury report last season on back to backs,
we would see injury management, and he's out for the game. He
plays both games of a back to back for the first time in three and
a half years. What can we expect from this moving forward. Is this
the new Kauai? Is he feeling healthier? How has this look do you
think throughout the rest of the regular season. So I think that coming into
his first sequel, his only season with the Raptors, obviously he had the
knee slash, you know, quad injury that he was managing, and so
they had a strict no back to back minute restriction kind of limit for him.
I think this one kind of unnoticed. But he also went underwent some
kind of off season procedure coming into last season, which was his first with
the Clippers, and even though they said he was on d percent healthy,
he was clearly not. He was still working through if he was resting back
to backs. And so this season, I think, you know, he
MPG have said this, this was the first real off season that they had
healthy and able to work on their games. Even though it was short,
they were healthy. They were able to come into training camp healthy, work
with their new teammates healthy, and just get a good feel for each other.
And so, you know, Tyler told us today, he said,
Hey, Kawhi approached me and said, I feel good this season. I
want to play more games. I want to be able to be out there
on the court more and Tyler said, hey, no problem. If you're
good to go, you're good to go. Obviously, they had to clear
with the with the medical staff and you know, the sports science team to
plan out his season, but Tyler said, they'll take it on a back
to back basis, you know, each one separate, but for now it
appears at kawhi Olsen slaying back to back said he wants to, you know,
get into better rhythm, play better with his teammates, and just get
a better steel for it. So I think for now we'll be seeing Kwai
played back to backs. He is Tomarrazarali Clippers writer and reporter for Clutch Points.
Follow him on Twitter at t O M E R A Z A r
l Y Tomair. Great stuff. As always, we'll talk to you next
week, my friend. Thank you very much, Adam, thank you's having
me coming up next we'll get back to your phone calls at eight six six
nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight six six night seven
two five seventy is the phone number. Also get to me at follow Adam
a and you'll hear from the head coach toron lou after the Clippers win one
oho eight to one oh one over the Golden State Warriors and the first game
of a two game series. This is new in the brave new COVID world.
We're seeing this where a team stays overnight and they plays another they play
another game, they just run right back. We'll see that on Friday.
More Clippers talk coming up next right here on the M five seventy l A
sports gosh. We'll do meything, go brown creak, get the money,
y'all baby, every moment all season long on their officials hi letters sends it
back home, but the Clippers still not come in here. Clippers win one
o eight to one oh one. The art of closing out a game against
the Golden State Warriors. They hold the Warriors to just four points in the
last four minutes, and the Clippers are six and three on the season,
four and one on the road. They'll run it back against Golden State on
Friday. Welcome back into Clipper Stock. I'm Adam Oslins eight six six nine
eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy.
We'll get back to your phone calls. Also get to me at follow Adam
A. But first I do want to hear from the head coach and somebody
we just talked about with Toma azarrely from clutch points, but the way that
he's mixed and matched lineups, I just love the flexibility that head coach Toron
Lieu has already shown through just nine games so far this season. But here
he was post games speaking with the media. What was that experienced, Like,
obviously there's a lot of you know, emotion ahead time, but what
that would actually be like to play on this kind of extraordinary backdrop. Did
it feel odd? Was it on players minds? Could you tell? I'm
not sure you have to ask them. I mean it was on my mind
a little bit, you know, throughout the course of the game, and
just you know something we just got to get through. And it was a
tough game like tonight, just you know, Ka's first back to back in
a while, you know PG, you know, missing the last game and
you know, playing tonight, so he was a little bit rusty, you
know, welcome and Marcus back tonight, who was really good in the first
half. So you know, just trying to play with different lineups and you
know, just trying to figure it out. Now now that Marcus is back
on, the rotations are gonna be a little different, and so we're just
trying to figure it out as a team. Yeah, how do you just
kind of sketch out Marcus's usage? Is this? Is this kind of gradually
bringing him back to a point where he'll eventually start Right now, we're in
a great place. And the crazy part about how they and Jews that Marcus
came to me and said, like, listen to lou like me coming off
the bench, It's gonna be great. You know, I think Nick provides
that passing that we need in the first unit, and you know, spotting
up and shooting the basketball, and with me and Louke coming off the bench,
it's gonna be a tough, tough matchup of guys coming off the bench,
he said, So they could use my scoring off the bench. And
we try to look at that tonight if you notice, you know, we've
been staggering PG and Kawa's minutes and pg's been playing with that second unit.
So we're just trying to figure it out, you know right now, you
know, it's the first time we had everybody healthy, and you know,
I try to call about six players, and guys didn't know where to go
on the floor. That's to be expected when you're playing with different lineups and
Marcus first game back. So we're just gonna keep working at it. You
know. It's good to keep winning games while we just trying to, you
know, figure it out and get through this process. And now we will.
Hey, Tyk and guts on the wink. You just along the lines
of Marcus, what does it say about a guy who just signed a big
deal in the offseason, just came off starting from for you guys in the
playoffs to be willing to come off the bench, but not only that,
but approach you and say, hey, I think this is what works best.
What do you make of that? I mean, I just think it's
a veteran who wants to win and whatever it means and whatever it takes to
win, that's what he's about. And so it was good just to see
him do that. And that takes a lot of care to to make that
call. You guys helped Steph to I think five of seventeen shooting tonight.
Uh, you pretty much explained what you guys wanted to do pre game by
giving him a different coverages do you feel like you covered him the best of
your ability? Yes, we did. And you know, our philosophy is
just we wanted to try to take the best player out because we know Steph
and go like Si for sixty like he did the other day. So we
want to just make sure that we, you know, trap them, We
keep a body on him, you know, be physical with him. And
with that being said, other guys are gonna, you know, have good
games. I thought Pascal was really good in that first half, and Wiggins
got a game, he got a pretty good game going. But were you
trying to take out the best player? Other guys are gonna get opportunities,
and they stepped up and had a good, decent game. TI. I
saw that both teams took a knee before the during the national anthem, which
was pretty powerful. It was learning. How did you guys come to that
decision as a team, And did you guys talk with the Warriors pre game?
And yea, yeah, I had a discussion with Steve and we talked
about it and we all wanted to be on the same page and we was
able to do that. So that was powerful, I mean a lot.
And then and did did you guys talk about it as a team before the
game at all. Yeah. I talked to it to the guys, most
of the guys individually about it, and so we all wanted to be a
solidarity. And you know, I tech Steve and he says, gonna let
me know, and we talked about it and we came to a conclusion that
we wanted to kneel before the anthem and we did it. Collect The players
are no longer in the bubble, but the social justice movement is still going,
especially in light of events today at the Capitol. There was head coached
tehront Lou post game after the Clippers win one o eight to one oh one
over the Golden State Warriors, who they'll see again Friday. It's a two
game series. We're gonna see a few of these throughout the season. It's
different and get you to it. I think it's interesting. We'll see how
the Warriors try to adjust. And Steph Curry is certainly going to be out
for blood after scoring just thirteen points tonight when he had sixty two his career
high on Sunday. But the Clippers just come at you in waves with defenders
and Dan Craig, who's their defensive coordinator. You could say, coming over
from the Miami Heat, has done a great job so far with this Clippers
team, but it's only going to get better as they build up that chemistry.
Coming up next, we'll finish things out with your phone calls at eight
six six nine, eight seven two five seventy more. Clippers talk right here
on AM five seventy. LA Sports Stagger Paul George is the official home of
your LA Clippers. Don't miss a moment of Clippers basketball all season long.
The Clippers are three and oh coming off a loss this season, they bounced
back after losing by three last night at home against the Spurs. They win
tonight in San Francisco one o eight to one oh one over the Golden State
Warriors. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm out of Moslin and while the
Clippers who have been red hot, they've been the second best three point shooting
team so far this season. They hit just thirty two percent of their threes
tonight, but when you take into account they were three of seventeen in the
first half and they would hit eight more in the second half. They did
step up and knock them down when they needed to, and I thought Luke
Kennard hit a big three pointer in the fourth quarter. It was him and
Paul George getting the scoring started in the fourth after the Clippers really came out
flat entering that third quarter. Multiple times in this one, they didn't close
out quarters well at the end of the second quarter, and then again at
the end of the third quarter they gave up twelve point leads and then they
were down six early headed into the fourth after the Golden State Warriors went on
a twelve oh run. So Clippers got punched in the mouth a little bit.
They had been leading the entire ball game, and then all of a
sudden two minutes into the fourth and you're down, and you got to find
yourself on the road. And it was PG thirteen with a three pointer,
and then Luke Kennard and then Kauhai re entered the game and had eight quick
points, got into the mid range, got to the free throw line.
There was a dangerous play at about the five minute mark with him going into
attack mode and Draymond Greene kind of hooked arms with him like it was jose
Can Saco and Mark McGuire doing the Bash Brothers thing, and Kauai got supermanned
and took a hard fall and his Noah Eagle pointed out, it's a good
thing he had that mask on that might have saved him on that fall.
He wasn't happy about it, and it was either the next possession or two
possessions later. He came down with bad intentions and tried to throw it down
and he was fouled again. But the aggressiveness between him and Paul George in
the second half. Immediately coming out of the half, it was PG thirteen
who was going towards the basket, and then late in the game Kawhi Leonard
was getting to the rim as well. Clippers win one o eight to one
oh one over the Golden State Warriors. They'll see them again on Friday,
still in SF. Before we get out of here, I do want to
thank the Clippers organization, Noah Eagle, Brian Seamen, Ralph Lawler. Back
here in Burbank, we had Zach Attack doing a lot. All the great
music you've heard tonight, that's Zach calling ye. Also one of the best
people working behind the scenes hard here at am five seventy. I think he's
been here since eight in the morning. And Colin wants to excuse me,
Zach wants to me to uh, I guess pay tribute a little bit here
to m F doom as we're getting out, r I P m F doom
