Time for a postgame look, it's your La Clippers. This is Clippers Locker
Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of the
La Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the La Clippers.
Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're La
Clippers, They're locking in every game, every night, Adam Osland, the
Clippers come through late. They win one twenty eight to one seventeen over the
OKC Thunder. Here at Crypto dot Com Arena, welcome into your postgame show.
I'm at am Oslin. Coming up, we'll have clipperstock on AMPI seventy
LA Sports plus second half highlights, your postgame box scoring more. But first
were rejoined by your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlojmenez. After Paul George
goes for a season high thirty eight and eighteen points in the fourth quarter where
he had ten in the final three minutes when the Clippers were down by one,
and then just made it look easy when it was closing time. Carlo,
I mean talk about delivering late. Paul George finished this game for the
Clippers, an offense that was stagging an OKC that was going on a run
at him. They brought it to within one, took a lead late after
the Clippers were up by as many as eleven, and Paul George said,
I've had enough of this or coming home with a win. And he could
not do anything wrong on the offensive end. He was excellent for the Clippers.
He continued to attack offensively the dribble three straight away and we talked about
it at him. It started in the first quarter. It was the first
quarter that set the tone for the Clippers. Both teams were hot from the
outside. We knew going into this one two top teams in the league.
When it came to three point shooting. They delivered tonight. The Clippers were
just a little bit better, as they do lead the league now over the
OKC Thunder from the outside twenty of forty three and by my count, they
ended the game on a fourteen to two run Carlow after the OKC Thunder took
that brief one point lead with three three seven left off the j dub three
pointer, it was all Clippers of the rest of the way. They were
excellent at finishing the deal late. They continue to be a great clutch team.
Adam since the start of December. Clippers are seven and two in clutch
this season under five minutes with under a five point difference. The Clippers were
great in this one, and I think it's so different than okc's last loss
last night to the Lakers, because you look at the stats with a thunder
and you look up and down this list and j Dove gives you twenty five
again. Lou Dort's got nineteen on five threes, the second most he's hit
this season five for six was Isaiah Joe off the bench with fifteen points.
They got production from everywhere, and the Clippers affected their stars, Chet Holmgren
two for ten, Shane Gildas, Alexander six for sixteen, and it's not
like they had many open shots at him. They were combined eight for twenty
six because the Clippers played a fantastic defense without their star of Eatsa Zubats on
the defensive end, impressive stuff. I thought, collectively get ten blocks in
this game, and there should have been one more. I think that goldtad.
The Clippers came together after getting the news earlier that Aviza Zubas would be
out for at least four weeks. Will be reevaluated with that calf strain.
But this team collectively came together and did it as a squad. It wasn't
just Mason Plumbley. It wasn't just Daniel Tice. Terrence Man was great on
the interior, Kawhi Leonard with the block laid on Shay Gilgess, Alexander.
They were contesting at the basket and to me, that was the difference in
the ballgame late yew five different players recorded blocks in this one, Adam.
You talk about a team effort. That is a team effort for this Clippers
team. The offensive rebounding late was excellent. They finished with twelve offensive rebounds,
Adam. That turned into twenty one points tonight. That's huge for this
Clippers team to find that kind of production on the offensive glass. It was
a gritty win and wasn't perfect, but man, what a motivating win for
this team going into four days off to get this one at home again,
it's a great thunder squad. You feel like there's a huge confidence boost.
Obviously, the news of Vitza Zubats is so it's such a bummer, right.
You don't ever want your stoning center, your iron men to be out
but I think this win shows the Clippers that they don't have to miss a
beat just because Big Zoo's not going to be with them. Yeah, they
didn't let that deflate the team. They used it as a rallying cry in
this game. You mentioned how many guys had blocks and contributed on the defensive
end. That was one of the best efforts. And I know the OKC
thunder still hit sixteen three pointers and shot fifty percent from the field. They're
that good defensively. I still think this was one of the better efforts by
the Clippers overall in this game because they didn't have a Vitza Zubats, And
this was the first time in the two to one three era to my knowledge,
that they've been able to win a game where they had Paul George and
Kawhi but they didn't have a Vitza Zubats. They were zero to four in
those situations coming into this one tonight. They get their first victory and they
do it together. It just shows you how this team is able to find
opportunities to get it done later. I think James Harden was great. Eight
assists, sixteen points, he hit down he knocked down four threes, but
you think about Daniel Tice. I mean, this guy wasn't on this roster.
This is somebody who had no one had in that radar. Mason Plumley
goes down in New York, all of a sudden, he becomes a Clipper,
all of a sudden. At him. He's a key player in this
team for the next four months, for the future. I mean, he
was excellent tonight. Three blocks. He blocked everything, including our connection with
him post game. That's how good Daniel Tye was in this ball game.
We talked about it. He's not afraid to get postered. He's not afraid
to have too much pride to not contest shots at the basket. That makes
him special. And to your point, you brought it up during the break.
I think it's fantastic. I'm gonna bring it up fifty times to night
here on Clippers Talk. But Okay, Mason Plumbley didn't get injured against the
Knicks. They don't have Daniel Tice for this situation where now they're without a
Beats Zubats. So maybe a blessing in disguise, Maybe the basketball gods we're
looking out for the Clippers in some ways. Yeah, I mean, you're
gonna have injuries throughout the year. You just hope you have guys who step
up after the fact, and the Clippers don't. If Mason Plumley doesn't go
down in New York, they don't have those guys. They're right now sitting
in the hole with Daniel Tye maybe on another team after asking up to receive
a buyout in the last game or from Indiana. So for the Clippers at
him a big time win, a fun one. And Paul George, if
there wasn't a bigger show to say, hey, I'm extension eligible to Lawrence
Frank, I don't know what tonight was. That was fun to watch.
Those two have both been vocal they want to get it done. I hope
the Clippers can soon because this two one three connection if it keeps continuing.
Look out at Remember these guys haven't played that many games together now, they're
just really starting to gel this season with having played initially I think it was
twenty three straight. That was the longest stretch of time you've had Kawhi Leonard
and Paul George on the court together. And it's no surprise that the Clippers
have been this good and are now twenty six in fourteen, they've had more
availability with their two superstars, and Paul George certainly made himself available in the
fourth quarter he took the Clippers home. They go on to win one twenty
eight to one seventeen here over the OKC thunder Clippers. Next game, believe
it or not, it's like another All Star break. They got four days
off. Next game right back here on Sunday, twelve thirty tip Clippers and
Brooklyn Nets. And they need a little get back after Brooklyn took them down
on that road trip, or Mason Pumley was hurt. The Net's got the
Clippers when they were a wounded animal. They're a different beast right now.
Look out a Carlo Jimenez will be on the call at twelve thirty. We'll
have your pregame show starting at eleven thirty. Carlo, my friend, great
call is always with the family in attendance. Love it. Let's do it
again on Sunday. When mom's got the headset on, Adam, you gotta
crank it up a little bit, Mama. Those best Clippers win and show
their best tonight with a one twenty eight to one seventeen victory. Over the
u OKAC thunder four post game right here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Net,
floating Clippers fully loaded with Clippers fans. This is LA Clippers basketball.
You're listening to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers win
one seven scenes with a thunder. Here at Crypto dot Com Arena, I'm
an a Ozlet welcome back into your postgame show. Clippers get another victory.
They have won nine of their last eleven now and seventeen make it eighteen of
their last twenty two. I want to say I will double check that as
I always do, but it felt like a playoff environment tonight at Crypto dot
Com Arena, Clippernation. Give yourself a pat on the back for this victory.
I don't know if the Clippers pull through in the fourth quarter like they
did without you. Let's talk about that third quarter though. First, the
Clippers let at the half sixty five to sixty one one. After closing out
that second quarter the right way, I want to say it wasn't a mere
coffee three pointer near the end of the half that got the Clippers up by
four. When it was back and forth. They led by five after the
first quarter. Okay Se did outscore them in the second quarter by one,
but the Clippers were up sixty five to sixty one heading into the third.
Paul George only had ten points in the first half. Believe it or not,
well he would match that in the third quarter alone. Bounce fast to
George after helm with seven to shoot, sizing up, shade down the left
alley, steps back, pulls up, puts it in Pg's thirteen with some
tricks, gives it up to George. Turns the quarter with five to shoot.
Flipper's got and get busied. George into the pain looking for a foul,
flips it up on the right hand rainbows in PG. Thirteen. That
is tough. Leonard bounced fast, horning kicks at George open right corner.
Three oh yeah, Pg thirteen It's gotten seventeen plumblin at the helm looking for
George backdoor five pg raising to the rim the harm and a chance for one.
Paul George with ten points in the third quarter. Clippers led by ten
heading into the fourth as they outscored the OKC Thunder thirty four to twenty eight
in the third period and then in a three well with three minutes left in
the ball game. Late, Clippers found themselves down one after a j dub
three pointer that was a ridiculous shot after Terrence Man had blocked in Isaiah Joel
three. They get the offensive rebound and end up knocking down a three pointer.
Anyways, it was unbelievably bad luck, and the Clippers were able to
overcome it. Why because Paul George down the stretch was the best player on
the floor. George stowed away team hine twenty points left wing in front of
the bench for OKC. Pulls out from the base, signed rainbows in part
an extra pass. George open left corner three, pulls up HEYG thirteen with
twenty five. George dances down Broadway, flips it up in hey G thirteen,
pulls out the d I wind kid. Sarah's man left the logo and
his arm branked me on yellow shoes left watch George drowning in white jerseys,
goes up, gets fouled. Plus they'll finish. George my hot hand in
the right wing thirty points, shakes and baits a triple, bottoms a stream
to the heavens. George trimp downtown. He's gotten thirty three. Clippers lead
by six kicks A George right wing a three nylon Clippers lead one twenty six,
one seventeen. He's unconscious. Shan Okaseye right to Laft. He lost
the basketball Georgia Steel with a runway a euro A revers down. Paul George
put this game on ice as he was ice cold in the fourth with eighteen
points. Cold Blooded had ten of them in the last three minutes. The
Clippers went on a fourteen to two run to end the game. They win
once t eight to one to seventeen over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Clippers got
four days off now until Sunday. Right back here at Crypto, They'll be
taken on the Brooklyn Nets. What a way to have a little mini vacation,
although I'm sure Coach Lee will have them locked in and practicing very soon.
Here more postgame coming up next. After the Clippers win by eleven over
the OKC Thunder, you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. The
LA Clippers continue their hunt for a LARRYO. B. They still want to
get that LARRYO. B. Don't miss a moment all season longed. This
is the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers win one, twenty eight to one
to seventeen over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Here at Crypto dot com, Marena,
welcome back into your postgame show. I'm Adam Oslinny. What a game.
Unbelievable, one of the best victories of the season for your Los Angeles
Clippers. They get thirty eight from PG thirteen that was a season high.
He had an eighteen point fourth quarter. The Clippers went on a fourteen to
two runs to end this thing. Paul George had his fingerprints all over it.
As Brian Seman would say, Clippers end up shooting fifty four percent from
the floor, forty seven percent from the outside. They knocked down twenty of
their forty three takes from distance. They are the best three point shooting team
in the league. Without of Vitza Zoobots, Mason Plumby went five for five
with fourteen points, five boards, couple of assists, and three blocks.
Daniel Tice with three blocks himself. He had nine four of six shooting for
him knocked down a three pointer trying to make up for the production without having
Aviza Zubots tonight. They were able to do so in a game where the
Clippers had just ten turnovers. Had three in the first quarter, just ten
in the ballgame. Okay see, but at the half they had just three.
The Clippers started to turn them over in that fourth quarter or ok see
double there are six turnovers heading into the final twelve minutes. They had six
turnovers in the fourth. That's the ballgame. That and PG thirteen going nuclear.
Kawhi Leonard My favorite play of the season the block he had on shake
Gilges Alexander. I haven't seen anyone do that when they're beat off the dribble
by SGA, it's always a bucket. Kawhi recovered and blocked him. He
had sixteen points, just six of ten shooting. Only need one point from
him in the fourth quarter. The Clippers come through an unbelievable performance on a
day where they find out that a Vista Zubats will be out for at least
the next four weeks. Well, we have a moment. Let's pause ten
seconds for station identification. Here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio network, this
is LA Clippers Basketball AM five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles ninety seven, KYSR
HD two Low Angeles and iHeartRadio station. Hello Clippers fans, if You're gonna

they were in attack mode. Adam Osley a battle from three against Okac and
the Clippers come up winning one twenty eight to one seventeen as they knock down
twenty three pointers to sixteen from the Thunder and Paul Georgia rupps for eighteen of
his thirty eight in the fourth quarter, including a huge three pointer, and
then Steele on SGA to the reverse dunk. Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm
at Am Oslin eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six
ninety eight seven two five seventy is the number coming up. We'll get to
your phone calls. You can also get to me. I follow out of
May on X. We'll have I think it's Chuck Mackler's turn to join from
Clips and Dip. We'll also hear from Paul George postgame. And you're head
coach in Tron Lou, who I thought made a brilliant move at around the
six minute mark of the fourth quarter. It's not easy when you have an
embarrassment of riches, when you have so many guys that you can turn to
to bring off the bench, because you'll always be second guest. And I
was wondering at first when at the six forty eight mark he brought in Terrence
Mann for Norman Powell. And I thought to myself, Man, Norman Powell,
he might be the best fourth quarter player in the league in a tight
ballgame like this. It was one o eight, one oh four Clippers,
and he may the move. Norman Powell is shooting fifty eight percent from the
field in fourth quarters, He's shooting fifty five percent from three. You gotta
have some hootspa to make that move to bring in Terrence Man. But then
I realized the genius of coach Lou. Of course I was a little bit
slow on the uptick. You got a four point lead. Terrence Man has
had a great ball game. He hasn't just been good on the perimeter with
his defense, but also at the rim. Terrence Man was contesting shots.
They don't have Aviatza Zubats He's out for at least four weeks. He'll be
reevaluated then with that calf strain. Defensively, they got to do it collectively
right now, Mason Plumley and Daniel Tye alone cannot make up for the law
a big Zoo. They can't. He's the third best room protector in the
league. But what I saw from Terrence Man and the block he had on
chet Holmgren after plumbly bid on the fake in the second half was incredible.
It wasn't just the two big men of the Clippers who combined for six blocks,
Daniel Tice with three, Mason Plumber with three. You had Terrence Man
getting two, James Harden a block, and Kawhi Leonard with what I'm gonna
say is my play of the year so far. Not many can hang with
Shay Gilgess Alexander. In fact, I haven't seen anyone do this this season.
When he beats his man off the gerbil, it is a rap.
He's getting the bucket, And somehow, some way, Kawhi Leonard in a
two point game, was able to recover and block shake Gildess Alexander at the
three to zho eight mark of the fourth quarter, with the Clippers holding onto
a slim one seventeen to one to fifteen lead. That's my play of the
year. They held SGA to just six of sixteen shooting guy might win the
MVP. He's at least gonna be in the conversation. He had just nineteen.
He didn't score in the fourth quarter. I know they were on the
second half of a back to back. They've also, I think been the
best in the league in winning those games. Making adjustments. They got young
legs, they looked fresh. They were attacking the fourth and the Clippers withstood
the challenge. Not only did they withstanding from a team that has the second
best net rating and clutch time in the OKC Thunder on the season, they
dismantled them in the last three minutes after Okase all of a sudden goes up
by one when the Clippers had led by thirteen, were up by ten heading
into the fourth and win three thirty seven left. After an extremely unfortunate play
goes against the Clippers, RAN's man blocked Isaiah Joe who on the night after
going zero six against the Lakers last night, from three, he was five
for five. Man blocks him at the three forty two mark in a two
point game. Isaiah Joe gets it back and finds Jay Dubb Jalen Williams for
a three pointer, who knocks it down and the Clippers are down one and
one fifteen, one fourteen. That great defensive play didn't get rewarded. Okay,
see Thunders still knocked it down, but then Paul George would get a
little fallaway far side short corner, Clippers back up one. He gets the
and one puts him up by two. As he wasn't afraid of attacking,
even when at times guys were shying away because they knew Jet chet Holmgren was
lurking. He's unbelievable. He and Victor Wemenyama are changing basketball with how much
ground they can cover and how skilled they are and how they can score at
all three levels. It's incredible to watch that Rookie of the Year battle if
they go by record. Obviously the OKC thunder are much better there, but
Jet has been so impressive, and tonight he just went two of ten and
only had one block, but the amount of shots that he redirected, the
amount of times the Clippers in the fourth quarter went into the paint and couldn't
put up a shot because they knew he was right there. It is otherworldly,
to say the least. But after PG comes through with the N one,
then they get a stop as Kawhi Leonard blocks Sga. Kawhi gets foult
on the other end, but only goes one for two. The Clippers were
fourteen of twenty three from the charity stripe. They were missing Gimmey's freebies.
They only shot sixty one percent from the charity stripe. In a game like
this, you would have thought that would have come back to haunt that nah.
They got another miss from Sga on the other end, when this time
he was matched up against James Harden. They got the mismatch, They got
what they wanted. Harden, for the most part, made it a tough
shot, a little fallaway on the right elbow. PG gets the rebound,
brings it up the court, puts it up from distance long three pointer,
and the Clippers are up one twenty one to one fifteen. Okay, so
he's not going away. J dub knocks down a cluss jumper. It's one
twenty one, one seventeen. But then James Harden, who had just missed
a floater, went back to it and got it to go Clippers back up
by and then it was about to be over as lou Dort tried to draw
a foul on Mason Plumbley in the near side corner where he made this unnatural
basketball movement to his left unnecessarily to try to draw contact. He did,
but the refs didn't fall for it. You gotta give him credit. That's
not an easy call in real time, they said immediately it was an offensive
foul. Okay See challenged to no avail, and Paul George then sticks another
three oh and then he ripped it from SGA and went the other way for
the reverse dunk. Play Station P podcast p what a performance eighteen of his
thirty eight in the fourth quarter and took the Clippers home. He had ten
points in the last three minutes and twenty one seconds, and the Clippers beat
one of the most clutch teams, one of the most active teams, one
of the most athletic teams that outside of Denver, they scare me most in
the West. And the Clippers win tonight after they lost by nineteen without Kawhi
Leonard in OKC in December one twenty eight to one seventeen was your final.
Let's start things off with Lenny in Inglewood. Lenny, you're on Clippers stop
without a mazzle Man next to the Denver Bro. First of all, we
got a squad man. I mean we really got a squad because for one
James hard says on today where he said he wants to retire to her and
you can just fail. He just feels the cooperation, he feels the they're
on one accord man, And I'm glad PG came through, Bro, because
I was gonna load up on podcast Pete and he came to he ca.
You guys are always waiting like snipers for podcast Pee. Where is this Tom
Berenger on the phone. You just wait for him to trip up. The
guy had one bad game in Minnesota. We want a championship, Bro.
It has to be this year. It has to be this year. We
all know that it has to be this year because John is coming next year.
SGA. He's coming next year. And here's the deal, I think
we can. The only way we get one next next year is if we
win one this year. That's that's that's the only way I see it.
So we we want one, man, Because here's the deal, Adam,
We're not even to get a parade out of it. We know that.
We just wanted. We just we just want, we just want. We
just want to wait. They're gonna take it from here to angle would to
the end to it do if they win, well yeah, well let's let's
let's hold. But you know, these are the Lakers are gonna need some
mental health services because they're not going They're not gonna, they're not gonna like
us at all. But I just, like I said, Man, just
a really good win tonight, man, because they couldnot. They really they
realized the importance of this game. And you're right, Kylu had some master
strokes in terms of coaching, man, and and Plumbly just stepping up.
I'm so happy to see him, Man, just coming this. This was
the game he needed. We need him on the team, no doubt.
And I know I know they're they're they're talking about some tinkering, but no,
leave Plumbly Man. We need that dude. We need that dude.
But all all around, Man, just to satisfying thoroughly good win. And
it's what this what championships teams do? They don't go down two against the
good teams. Man, let let uh okay see go back to okay see
two. We couldn't do that, man, See it have brought me a
lot of doubting. But they did what they're supposed to do to handle business.
And man, let's let's just go. Let's just keep marching forward.
Man, all right, bro, talk to you later. Great phone call
is always letting appreciate you. Clippers win one twenty eight to one seventeen over
the OKC Thunder. They tied the season series up at a game apiece.
One more left to be played could be crucial, critical in the standings.
Clippers just gained a game on them. They're only a game back of them.
Now we'll take a quick time out. We'll come back here at Crypto
dot com arena. After the Clippers just torched OKAC in the final three minutes
with a fourteen to two run, where Paul George had ten of those points,
eighteen in the fourth, thirty eight in the game, a season high
after he just had thirty seven against Memphis in between these two yeah and off
night against Minnesota. I think he made up for it. My player to
watch more Clippers dock next year on five to seventy LA Sports. LA Clippers
basketball is on the two to one three Era continues. You're listening to the
LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Oh. C's not gonna like
this this track coming my way. He wants this song for Lakers victories.
Nah, they got theirs last night against Okay. See the Clippers went tonight
in dramatic fashion. Here at Crypto dot Com Areno. One twenty eight to
one, seventeen over the thunder and SGA with amazing performances down the stretch by
two point three. Kawhi with the block, Paul George with the eighteen points
on the fourth quarter, the steal on SGA. They made him look damn
near uncomfortable. I haven't really seen that much. Give credit to Terrence Mann
and coach LUs sticking with him in the fourth instead of Norman Powell, who
was having an off night offensively two of ten, two of seven from the
outside. But I've seen that plenty of times. And then he turns it
around and has a huge fourth quarter. Coach Lou said, no, we're
playing defense. Terrence Man has played great. It was the right thing.
Ooh, the professors in the building well and one mixtape tour type game going
on. Postgame here at Crypto dot com arena, the Professor Paul George has
handles like that at six' nine and those step back threes are as nasty
as they come. Eight six, six nine, eight seven two five seventy
eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Let's go to Sean in Inglewood or maybe in Shytown right now. Sean,
what's up? You're on? Clippers? Stop with Adam Moslin? Long time,
Sean? Where you been? Hey been traveling man? And uh,
you know I'm out here in twenty below, but you know, still loving
my Clippers. Can you feel the heel? Can you feel it emanating from
Crypto dot com Arena with this three point shooting Clippers go twenty or forty three
from distance? Oh? Man, wish I was there. I can't tell
you I wish I was there. But I want to say a couple of
things. First of all, the composure of this team this year. There's
been four or five games where it looked like the lights were going to go
out on them in the fourth quarter and the other team had the momentum and
they just stayed with it and said, no, we're better and we're not
going to make any dumb mistakes and we're going to win the game. They
overcame about what missed about fourteen free throws and they didn't didn't really you know,
get him. And they just kept going back and you know, just
kept staying with what they came to do. And another thing, if you
think about it, you know, Paul George is getting a lot of flack
about the trade with Shay. You know, I know that. I hear
it on Twitter all the time. You think he hasn't remembered that it was
a little something ext re for SGA tonight. So think about it like this,
what's nineteen times two thirty eight? Paul George had thirty eight and you
Shaye only had nineteen. You think Paul took it personal. I know he
did. And so basically that was some good revenge for Paul, and I
think he needs to stay hungry like that. It was just a really great
win, especially when Kawhi wasn't you know, the didn't have his cape tonight,
but that's okay. Others had their cape. So we just have a
team where hey, and especially in the last few minutes. The Superstars took
over in the last three or four minutes on this team, and everybody made
a player to It was a beautiful game. The Kawhi Leonard blocked to me,
that is a cape. That block is as big as any shot made,
because you saved a layup against SGA. And if anybody had any doubt
that Kawhi Leonard was still on all World defensive player being able to recover on
a drive from SGA going by you, that was insane, Sean. I
appreciate the phone call. I still owe you tickets. Don't think I forgot
about that, all right? Okay, maybe maybe he did forget eight six
six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five
seventy if you're remembers, though, I still got him man in my word
always. I'm met am Oslin live here at Crypto dot Com arena postgame as
I just saw a three sixty dunk. I don't know who threw that down.
Wasn't PG thirteen as he did in the Dunk Contest, as he did
in a half court setting last season in that game against OKC right before he
got hurt. He and Lou Dort running into each other for a rebound.
Well, a lot of connections, a lot of threads, a lot of
storylines between these two teams. Lou Dort five of eight from distance. I
think that's the second most three is he's hitting the game this season. The
Clippers took a real big punch and the best shot from OKC and they're still
standing with the w Clipper Joe and Westlake Village. What's up here on Clippers
stop without Amaza, Hey Adams. Man, it was like four minutes left,
you know, they just took a one point lead, and I just
started thinking, kind of like everyone else, probably, man, here we
go again. But then we stood up. We met the challenge. Paul
George went off and yeah, Kawhi, did he have the best shooting night.
No, But at the same time he came up with that huge block
that was insane for us. Paul George, I think he had like ten
points to in the game. It was awesome, man. It felt like
a much needed win given we had lost and then Timberwolves, and we'd been
on such a good run the last month and a half. It just feels
good, man, It just feels good. Hey, enjoy it. You
deserve it, and you got four days off now to relish in this victory.
All right, I appreciate the fold call. Joe and Westlake become a
regular here, Jose in Downey. You're on Clippers stop without a mauslim post
game after they win one forty eight to one seventeen over a team now that
just has a slim one game lead over them in the Western Conference standings.
I said it pregame. If you want to climb up the ladder in the
West, you gotta beat the teams in front of you. Clippers did that
tonight against Okay, see what's up, Hoose, Hey, Adam, how
you doing? Yeah? I mean a great, great win. I mean
to get a bunch of them off like that. In the end, you
could have easily started taking taking these ill advice shots, but no, it's
up to the garis stay collected. And I think that was that was a
big thing. I heard that first one of the callers in the beginning about
ready to jump on on Paul George. I think I think I mentioned it
to you before. I think he's gonna he's gonna be the guy that pushes
us over the top, because if they're gonna double Kawhi. They you know,
they're gonna come at him and he's gonna have to be the guy that
starts hitting those shots. And today was a great day, uh to to
to see him do what he what he can do. And uh, I
just hope they keep playing and they keep playing well. Man, I don't
see why they wouldn't. But they got three games coming up. I don't
want to say you take anybody for granted, but these next three games coming
up, they're not the level teams that they've played in these last in this
last eight game stretch, So I hope we make up some ground there and
uh, the Denver Nuggets and okay, see they have some tough games coming
up and we're only one game behind each one of them, so hopefully they
make a move. All right. I appreciate the phone call, Jose.
Yeah, you can't take anyone lightly, but you got to win that game
against the Brooklyn Nets after they beat you. That was game two, James
Harden. As the Clippers were still figuring things out there, still were I'm
not gonna say some curious but just interesting lineups that we saw out there.
Started the second quarter, no PG, no Kawhi, James Harden and Russ
were out there. Believe they went minus three. Same thing happened to start
the fourth quarter. I'm looking for some of the lineup data, but I
believe they went minus three again those two without PG and Kawhi. So look,
there's gonna be a lot of experimenting and tinkering because now there's no beat
to Zubots. You gotta find other lineups, other ways to win. Overall,
Coach Lu pushed all the right buttons that move to keep Norm off the
on the bench. For Terrence Man, to me, is an all timer
and speaks to the growth of tea Man and earning those minutes with his play
knocked down on a three pointer, had seven points, four assists. The
box score is never gonna be the prettiest thing unless you're looking at the plus
minus with Terrence Man most of the time or some of the advanced numbers.
He's not a big time scorer. He's a connector. He's a guy who
makes life easier for Kawhi and PG because he will guard and the other team's
best player to start off games. That makes a huge difference. Let me
tell you something down the stretch, I don't know if Kawhi Leonard has the
gas left in the tank to block Sga, if it's not for Terrence Man
taking up that responsibility early on in games, there's that trickle down effect because
he's guarded the other team's best player early. It gives PG and Kawhi more
energy late to do their thing. But Man had a layup to start a
pull up jumper, an offensive rebound from a Kawhi Leonard miss three. I
believe it was that he put back in. But the block on chet who
he and SGA miserable nights. They combine to go eight for twenty six.
And the Clippers did this without of each zubas huge blow earlier today. They
could have let that deflate them. They could have let that seep into their
energy, their spirit out there didn't happen. So proud of this ball club.
And yeah, I know a lot of people thought, oh, okay,
so he just took back the lead. Are the Clippers gonna be okay?
They just took a huge paunch after they had led by thirteen, led
by ten, hanging in heading into the fourth and then okay, see takes
the lead off that big three pointer off a I don't want to say lucky
but fortunate bounce that went their way after Darren's man just blocked Isaiah Joe on
a three pointer when he had missed all night. It ends up in the
hands of Jadubb and he knocks down a three to put him up by one.
But they just responded. They just played through the adversity. That is
what you have to do if you want to win a championship. Things aren't
always gonna go your way out there. It's not gonna be perfect. You
might miss ooh nine free throws like they did tonight, and they still won.
They kept the turnovers down, They had twelve offensive rebounds. They out
rebounded OKC overall thirty nine to thirty five. They matched them with points in
the paint at forty, and the Clippers had big number twenty one second chance
points on nine of twelve shooting. Love seeing this team respond bounce back in
this manner after the loss to Minnesota, which could have been a victory.
They made that push late Clippers tonight they stood a push from OKC. I'll
update you on the Sandy's coming up. We'll hear from coach Lou We'll hear
from Paul George we'll hear from Big Chuck Mockler coming up next right here on
Clipperstock on five seventy LA Sports. LA Clippers Basketball is on the two one
three Era continues. You're listening to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio
Network over the OKC Thunder. You're at Crypto dot com Arene. Earlier today,
we got the news that Into It Dome will be hosting the twenty twenty
six All Star Game and basketball games during the twenty twenty eight Olympics here in
Los Angeles, I mean a Moslin Welcome back into Clippers Talk. Eight sixty
six ninety seven, two five seventy is the phone number right now, let's
get out to Chuck Mockler of Clips and Dip. I heard they got one
k subscribers now on YouTube that big day all around, so many different subscribers.
You know, I was talking with Carlo during the break and we brought
it up on the podcast or the broadcast as well. That will be in
podcast for him later on with Clippers Stock. But he brought up a great
point, as you would expect, said, you know, if Mason Plumbley
hadn't gotten hurt against New York, they wouldn't have Daniel Tice, and therefore
both of these guys right now in a time of need where they don't have
a Vitza Zubats. Sometimes things do happen for a reason. It would appear
wrong, my wrong, Chuck, No, that is a great point.
I didn't realize that either. Shout out to Carlo. But yeah, it's
pretty you know, it's never obviously never given when someone gets hurt. But
the way that this Zubos injury happened is kind of serendipitous for the Clippers.
Right. You get Mason Plumbley, who played out maybe ten more minutes than
I thought he was going to play tonight, mostly because he was just so
good in his return, you know, I mean, fourteen to five and
two with three blocks. I think he has four blocks all season, and
three of them came tonight. Was great to see. And then yeah,
like you mentioned, you know, Daniel Tye coming in with something to prove,
with the chip on his shoulder after not getting as much time and Indiana
after winning you know, the gold medal with Germany. Like it's funny because
if you look at last season center situation, this season is the complete opposite.
We've had good luck even despite the injuries. And we have two guys
who can do different things, but still things that have been very effectius since
they've gotten here. So I mean, I know Paul George had thirty eight
tonight, thirty seven excuse me, thirty eight to seven and five with three
steals. He was the player of the game, I think, just because
of their return, how well he played and what he showed us, you
know with his sighs. Mason Plumley's probably player of the game Part two.
Yeah, Mason Plumbley a block on Giddy to start, then a block on
Chit in the second quarter. I'll put back off a Kawhi miss late in
the second quarter, after being shoved to the ground by Lou Dord a few
different times underneath the basket. Out of a timeout. In the third quarter,
they went right at Sga, who was in foul trouble with Ason Plumbley
for an easy bucket and then he had a block on the other end right
afterwards, kind of lob from James Harden at the four twenty four mark of
the third He was awesome, as was Daniel Tice with his three blocks to
the block on Sga to end. The first quarter a plip back then to
start the second. You want to talk about energy plays from these guys just
being scrappy out there. He had that block that was challenged. I'm calling
it the no look block. I forget if that was on J Dubb or
who that was on, but it was an offensive fat ye it was.
He had a three pointer what's up, Chuck to end the third quarter,
another contest on hit uh just no easy buckets. I felt like for the
Clippers for the most part tonight with out of eats zoobots, it just seemed
like collectively they really came together. And to me, Charles Terrence Man was
also very good, not just with defense on the perimeter, but near the
basket. Yeah, we see Terrence man can continuing to put up these you
know Pat Bev esque stat lines. Right. He had seven three and four
with two blocks to night, and he was ever he wanted him to be
on defense. He cashed I think the first three pointer he made, and
it was just it. It's funny looking at this team from last year because
last year, if Zoo was going to be out four weeks at least,
I would not have had the I don't know if optimism is the right word,
but I guess the peace of mind to know that the Clippers can still
do damage and make noise. It looked like they didn't miss a beat tonight.
Offense three without Sue. You know they were missing him. But people
like Terrence playing so well, especially with defensive end, makes it easier for
guys like Paul George and Kawi Leonard on the offensive end. So Karrence is
doing every single thing you need. You know the well, I guess tonight
the fourth option on the offense, you know the starters and offense to do,
and maybe the third option defensively for the Clippers was Zo bots out Now
I think so again, more up into the right Terrence. He he's still
shooting incredible from three. The role players are doing every single little thing they
need to do, including a mere Coffee who was fantastic to night, I
thought, on both sides of the ball. Yeah, a mirror also,
he had a three pointer to end the first half, and then another one
I believe at the end of the third quarter. Just some really timely threes
when three of three from distance had nine points fifteen minutes. Good defense,
hard defense out there, even on a night where Norm has an off shooting
night. But to me, coach lou not going with him late in the
fourth quarter at about the seven minute mark and putting in Terrence Man instead was
such a brilliant move and a difficult one with how good Norman has been in
fourth quarters. I mean, you gotta think he's had plenty of games where
he wasn't very good in the first half or good through three quarters. You
brought it up a four chuck where he's had still starts and he turns around
the fourth and you could have played that game just betting on Terrence or excuse
me, Norm Palell to figure it out in the fourth. Instead, he
wanted more defense, he wanted Terrence Man. He closed the game and he
earned it. Yeah, tylu is seeing the game better than I think he's
seen it as the Clippers coach. Continuity certainly helps with that. You know,
he actually gets to play the guys that he should be playing, and
he's just pulling all the right strings right now. The Clippers obviously they shot
well, they've been playing fantastic. But you're totally right, Tyler. You
could have sat with Norman we all, I'm sure he would have gotten angry
phone calls about it and things like that. But Tyler's feeling the game as
well as the team is feeling it, if that makes sense. I think
sometimes you watch a team and the team and the coach or maybe seeing different
things or just not necessarily on the same page. It feels like every single
person is on the same page for the Clippers right now, and that is
I guess Kawhi's page or the team's page. But that's a great point.
Credit credit to TYLERU for making the decision to go with Terrance. Yeah.
I think one of the tests of a locker room in on court chemistry and
just being a cohesive unit is what happens once one of your major parts of
this team is missing. How do you get by without guys? Do you
rally around it? Is it deflating? Do you give in? Clippers didn't
do that at all. I thought, even when OKC was hitting ridiculous shots
and they had forty points on the pain, that's not close to a big
number. They leave the league in drives to the basket. Even with all
that, I thought, for the most part, the Clippers were good and
connected defensively, and the effort and the energy was there. On a day
where they find out that a Visa Zubats is gonna be out for a month
with that right calf strain. I just felt like they overcame it somehow.
They overcame missing nine free throws somehow, and they held SGA to six of
sixteen shooting. And my favorite play of the ballgame, Chuck was the block
Kawhi Leonard had on him and then Paul George ripped it from him. I
haven't seen anyone now, I don't watch every game from Okay, but when
you're beat off the dribble by SGA, who was recovered to block that shot,
I haven't seen that. Maybe it's just me. No, it was
incredible, and you messaged you know SGA had had a rough night. Chet
Holgrim had a horrible night. Chet Holgrim went two for ten. We had
Terrence vanguarding chet Holgrim. We tweezed him lack a power forward and I guess
you kind of saw what the Clippers can defense defense can you know, do
to Chet specifically? I did think the Clippers kind of were playing the Thunder's
pace for most of this game. We were just you know, making our
shots. If you look at the box score, it's kind of I mean,
the thundershot forty seven from three's the Clipper shot forty six and a half.
We just made three more of them. So the Clippers it felt like
they were kind of taking what okay, So he was giving them when things
were going well, and then started later in the game to impose their will
a bit. The sequence where Paul George hit a three, ripped the steel
and then dunked it to force the thundertime out late was just something where it
was like, oh, right, we can. We'll have our guys impose
their will on both ends of the floor when they want to. So we're
getting good process with great closing from the stars right now. You know what's
funny, I just realized this. The OKAC thunder shot the exact same percentage
and made the exact same number of three pointers against the Clippers tonight as they
did in OKC when they won by nineteen sixteen of thirty four. Tonight,
the Clippers go twenty of forty three outshoot them from three. They're the best
three point shooting team in the league. The stats say it. Tonight says
it. It was a battle the two best shooting teams in the league,
and the Clippers get the best of the OKAC thunder. They come through late,
led by as many as thirteen, and PG thirteen took them home lastly,
quickly here Chuck. Just Paul George's performance ready you said, go say
whatever you want. Just fantastic to see and bounced back from a really rough
start to this game. The first quarter was obviously not ideal, and then
Paul George is so smooth. Think wow, he's made a lot of shots
in a row, and you look up and he has thirty eight points.
The steels were fantastic. He was a two way superstar to night in every
sense of a word. You know, Kawhi Leonard only took ten shots,
but when Paul George is taking twenty four and hitting sixty three percent of them,
you say five, that's totally okay. Six or twelve from deep I
just I don't know. He said it in his post game. He's just
committed to winning right now and he knows he's, you know, one of
the best shooters in the league. So this was great from Paul George.
I'll have to kind of find someone else who will watch every single one of
his field goals to see how many one dribble or no dribble streets he had.
But Paul George did a great job imposing as well. On this game.
Tyler was really crafty with his rotations. We saw like Harden with the
bench, Paul George with the bench, and Kawhi with the bench. So
it was just great to see from Paul George. And now they get more
importantly four days off to rest. Paul George had thirty eight points played thirty
four minutes, not as many as Kawhi, which is interesting, but he
gets to rest, he gets this great performance still in his mind when they
head to Brooklyn. So just really happy for Paul George. Have you for
the clips. It could not have come in a better time. You know,
you split a series with series quote unquote with the two of the top
teams in the league. Missing Zoo tough to beat Minnesota, but they almost
hung in. They almost got that win, and then tonight they showed why
they are and should be considered a championship caliber team. Clippers win one twenty
eight to one seventeen over the OKC thunder. He is big Chuck Mackler.
No rest for the weary though, just because they have four days off doesn't
mean we're not gonna be podcasting Clippers podcast on YouTube. Oh we got work
to do. Come on the Beata Zoobos News. We got to talk about
this stuff and this great Clippers victory. Jack, thanks for doing this tonight
with the little clips and double dip here on Clippers socckmare friend, thanks for
having me enough took clip quick break. We'll come back close things out.
As the Clippers get four days off, they'll be right back here against We're
Brooklyn at the Nets. On Sunday, I'm out a Moslin. You're listening
to clipperstock right here on Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network at AMPI seventy LA Sports.
LA Clippers Basketball is on the two one three Era continues. You're listening
to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers went over OKC
one twenty eight to one seventeen. Here at Crypto dot com Arena, I'm
out a Moslin. Welcome back into Clippers talk. We got big Bro Jake
coming up in just a moment. Want to update you on the Western Conference
standings. Clippers still in that four spot at game back of the Denver Nuggets
for the three seed a game back of OKAC for the two seed. They
currently have the tiebreaker over the Denver Nuggets. Or no, they have one
less loss and one less win. Better to have one less loss than another
win. Yeah, twenty eight and fourteen Denver Nuggets versus twenty seven to thirteen
OKAC thunder and Okay, see still in that two spot. Clippers just at
game back of them now Clippers nine or they won nine of their last eleven
ball games going back to December. They're eighteen for their last twenty two.
If you want to go back even further than that. With the Clippers going
back to the new starting lineup, they've won twenty three of their last thirty
games. Let's hear from Paul George PG. Thirteen postgame is he had eighteen
U thirty eight points in the fourth quarter. He was on with the TNT
guys. Uh oh, I hope they know who Paul George is. Still
know now? There he is, Paul George. Congratulations you in one twenty
eight, one seventeen, it's left go here. I just want to ask,
after that one shot, it looked like something was wrong with your shoulders.
Is everything okay? Bteam? Yeah, I'm I I'm I I'm going
you had you had you had the wiggle man? How is it feeling?
What was getting into you there? The second right now? High? It
was hot. That shoulder was a little hot. I was trying to cool
it down, but yeah, caught fire and uh we uh was able to
finish this one out. Shack here Kawhi healthy, you playing well? Russell
deciding to come up to bench, James coming into his own How far you
think you guys can go? I think we were in the driver's seat.
We control our destiny. We can go as far as we want to go.
I think we committed to one another, which is the most important team
thing for this team. Pg. Thirteen. This is Candice playing playing rated
R tonight per usual. But how many open catch and shoot threes are you
getting this year as opposed to years? Pass guys like James harden yourself where
you cannot be doubled because you make the other team pay. Yeah, I
mean those guys allow me to get in a rhythm and and honestly just line
them up at will. Both of them require double teams. They require so
much attention that a lot of time, you know it's I have the third
best defender on me, and at that point you know, it's it's the
team is at our mercy. So playing off those guys definitely helped my game
and vice versa. Whenever I get a chance to be aggressive to get them
open looks, I try to PG. What's up is Jamal Crawford When you
first said a while ago that you know what, Kawhi is the number one,
I'm the number two, that was bigger you. I think it helped
set your team. How do you know on Knights when it's time to be
number one like you were to night and just take over games and be who
you are because you're one of the best players in the world. Ski appreciate
it. I mean it's it's honestly just reading the game. You know they
they're gonna double team Kawhi at night in night out. So to alleviate that,
I gotta get going. I gotta be aggressive to at least give him
opportunities to play one on one. You know, every possession that they're sending
two at them. So the more I can be aggressive, the more I
can try to take control. It only opens up the game for him and
allows him to get comfortable. So you know, that's just been my mindset,
you know, on on you know, any given night, and that
mentally was just solely, man, I just want to put everybody at ease.
I know what I'm capable of, I know what I can do in
this league one and two option. I know I'm gonna get my fair share.
Honestly, I'm just committed to winning. And that's it. A season
high thirty eight points for Paul, George and Paul. Listen to this man.
Since November seventh, you guys are twenty three and seven best in the
