Karen's manure once again. He's Clippers Talk. I got calls on Clippers Talk.
Immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable of.
Hosted by your pre and post game voice of the La Clippers, Adam Osler,
and a bit of a role reversal. It was the Clippers hungry like
a wolf in Minnesota to see some shots fall from distance, and they would
some red meat for me. I had to do it. Clippers go twenty
one to thirty six from three. Finally, that's almost sixty percent and they
win one twenty six to one fifteen over the Timberwolves. Welcome into Clippers Talk.
I'm at him. Oslin to eight six six ninety eight seven two five
seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventies. This is no one
else. Remember the Bruce Campbell commercial for Old Spice to this song where he's
playing the piano. Oh, it was beautiful. We'll get your phone calls
coming up. Clippers make it two in a row for the first time this
year. And some of that hot shooting we saw in the second half against
the OKC thunder where they shot fifty six percent from three Monday night at home
at Staples Center. It did carry over that confidence that we thought could be
something they brought with them to Minnesota. Yeah. I don't know if the
TSA just couldn't stop it getting through, but they had it. It was
on board, It came with them, it traveled, and it was Reggie
Jackson. It all started with him. He had thirteen of his twenty nine
points in the first quarter. After hitting the biggest shot of the game,
that floater Monday night against OKC to put them away. He had the biggest
shot tonight, a three point dagger to get the Clippers back up by eleven
late when Minnesota was trying to make a push, but action Jackson. Reggie
Jackson finished seven of nine from three. Those seven makes from the outside,
that's a new career high. And when he's going like this eleven of eighteen
from the field, when he is the number two option next to Paul George,
who also went eleven of eighteen for thirty two points and went four of
eight from three, these Clippers become that much tougher defensively. They were spotty
at times tonight, you could say, and Minnesota did hit fourteen three pointers
themselves, but when the Clippers are this good offensively, when shots are starting
to fall, it's tough to beat a team that shoots sixty percent from the
field and fifty eight point three percent from the outside. In fact, I
just saw this on Clippers PR sent this over and this was just the thirteenth
time in NBA history that a team has shot above fifty eight percent from the
outside. I'm guessing on so many takes, and the Clippers did have a
few tonight. Yeah, fifty eight percent or better from three minimum thirty five
attempts, and the Clippers in this one got up thirty six, so they
were right there. They go fifty eight point three percent from distance, only
took twelve free throw attempts. But that's gonna happen when you're that good from
the outside. That third quarter, though, who Clippers put up a forty
five spot. Reggie Jackson and Paul George combined for twenty five of their forty
five points in that quarter, after Terrence Man and Paul George combined for twenty
five of the thirty one in the second quarter. So different guys supplementing some
of the offense and being that second option at times next to Paul George stepping
up in different areas. Terrence man at thirteen of his seventeen points in that
second quarter, but he went six of seven from the field, three of
three from distance. And how about Nicholas Batoum, who in three of their
last four games now is hit at least three three pointers. Tonight he doubled
that six of eight from three. And there was a mad scramble late in
the game, and Satan Nick would be the beneficiary of where the ball ended
up. In fact, I found the play for you. This was late
in the fourth quarter, and it was Nicholas Batoum and plenty of other Clippers
stepping up. And here he was, and I think about three and a
half minutes left, Jackson looking for George bouncing to him just inside the arc
on the right wing. Babily stepped up. Jackson, your side corner PUFFI
doesn't take the three. With four to shoot, cruises us Funny gets rid
of it. Patom fourth side corner three call it goes Nick Patoomb at the
end of the shot clock bills out the Clippers and they lead one twenty one,
one thirteen. Saint Nicholas, he's been so good defensively and locked in
on that end. The last four games since Marcus Morris has been out,
he's been injected back into the starting lineup. The defense is always there.
What he's doing from the outside and hitting those corner threes the same way he
was last season where he shot over forty percent from the outside. The Clippers
did as well. And I told you here on Clipper Stock when there was
all this outcry about the poor shooting numbers that were going on, I said
it the entire time. They are going to progress to the mean. Things
are going to even out. Most of those great three point shooters from last
year and those great performances we saw. Those guys are still here. This
was bound to happen. Law of averages. It swung back in their favor.
Finally didn't happen in Portland when they started six of six and then shot
miserably afterwards. But it did happen in the second half Monday night, and
that translated into the entire forty eight minute game tonight, where the Clippers continued
to pour on three pointers. But that third quarter where they went eight of
eleven from three, was special to score forty five points. Something else note
was how they were able to lock down defensively at the end of the game.
And it wasn't just Paul George this time. It wasn't just Eric Bledsoe.
It was Luke Kennard who had a steal on an inbounds pass from former
Clipper one of our favorites, Patrick Beverley. After Pat Bev got the technical
foul swiping at Lukennard's hands after a play, he got it to Nicolas Batoum
after the steal. Batoum threw it down with two hands. But if he's
a Zubots had a steal late. Reggie Jackson had a steal Reggie Acon Jackson.
Yes, two guys aren't exactly known for their defense, and Reggie Jackson
and Lukenard came up with huge plays. Late, Kennard was hounding Anthony Edwards,
who lost the ball out of bounds two and in a game where the
Clippers hit twenty one three pointers, Luke only has one of them. I'd
say that's actually a good sign, and it's a great sign that into the
fourth quarter they're too hot a shooters Reggie Jackson and Paul George, they only
scored six points. The Clippers won this with different guys just producing out there.
I mean, Hartenstein had their first five points of the fourth. Who
would have guessed that he did get into foul trouble again, But I'll take
the hustle and aggressiveness over a guy playing timid and soft out there, and
you're never going to get that from Isaiah Hartenstein. Justice Winslow had his moments,
also pushing the ball, just had two points but a couple of blocks.
Eric Bledsoe had a big sequence where I believe he went to the basket,
went coast to coast and then had a steal and found Terrence Man streaking
down the court for an easy one. So even though he has struggled from
the outside, that's not his game. Went over three, still goes three
of eight from the field, has six points and seven assists to night to
just one turnover. He did some very good things out there, But how
about PG thirteen. I've gone too far without really zeroing in and dialing in
on just how good he's been this season. In fact, you can make
the argument that through seven games, nobody has been better than Paul George and
the NBA. So far, he's averaging a league high twenty eight point nine
points per game, five assists, eight boards, while shooting fifty one percent
from the field and forty two percent from three at a high volume hashtag m
v PG. Clippers win one twenty six to one fifteen over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
We will take a quick time out here on Clippers tack. We'll get
to your phone calls. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number. I promise I will screen your calls during the break here.
Clippers win the first of two games up in Minnesota, and they come
through late once again. It was just a five point game at one point
with five minutes left. Made plays on both ends, clutch threes and some
big time steals, some defensive defensive effort all around when they had to have
it by guys that, like I said, aren't known for their defense.
Love seeing that. More Clippers out coming up next right here on the AMP
five seventy l A Sports. When I'm getting to it, girls trying to
give me scraps on this is LA Clippers basketball quarter three for the time he
got it. This is the official home of your LA Clippers, and try
to get a piece of mind. So I gotta gree on my pieces that
return of the gang stuff. Thanks Touff to get this on that Blistan,
the return of the three balls from your Los Angeles Clippers. As they win
one twenty six to one fifteen in Minnesota over the Timberwolves. They go twenty
one of thirty six from three. That's fifty eight point three percent. Remember
they led the league in three point percentage last year at forty one percent.
That was fourth all time, So you could say, oh, it's a
flukey night from three. Now they were due for a night like this.
The flukey Knights were were in there were ice cold from the outside, those
same guys that were hitting all those threes last season. Maybe it's the Wilson
basketball. Maybe it's just getting used to getting up and down again on the
court. Paul George talked about having tired legs at times, getting acclimated to
this season in an eighty two game season at that and I also shorted the
Clippers one. They went nine of eleven from three in the third quarter.
It's the highest three point percentage minimum ten attempts in a single quarter in franchise
history. Clippers making some history in this one tonight from distance. They win
by eleven in Minnesota. They'll run it back against the Timberwolves. That game
is Friday night, tip time at five pm. We'll have Clippers countdown for
you starting at four pm. Right now, Paul's ten seconds for station identification

Hey, it's our birthday today. So I was on my way home thinking
I was going to go and enjoy the game tonight. Little did I know
by somebody got home little relay about a behalf time? Was that being said?
I heard no Ego already called it, So no ego. If you
listen to me, thank you, thank you, Adam, thank you,
Jamie, thank you, Hamma, thank you DJ Dan. That being said,
Oh my, I said that. Text me right now. Come on,
maybe's gonna say another w as soon as I saw that text, I
called you Adam because, man, like you said, two back, your
back wins for Adam lives. Get Everything you're saying is you did to my
ears way blow playing a couple of blocks. We we came back. You
know what I'm saying, Adam, So you already know what I'll say.
It is my birthday, Hopper Jose as you turned twenty one to match the
amount of three pointers the Clippers hitting this game. Oh, twenty one.
I turned twenty six. But it also enough. All right, they might
hit that next time. Thanks for the full call'll say, let's go Clippers.
Indeed, someone else I haven't talked about yet, Avita Zubots had an
under of the radar very good game and they needed him to. He struggled.
I think just went one of five from the field against OKAC Monday night.
He's missed some easy ones early in the season. He's looked to have
tired legs or just to be out of rhythm, out of sink. Coming
off the knee injury against the Phoenix Suns, and while there was no long
term structural damage, it sounded like it was just a sprain, but it
took him a while to get back into training mode. It threw off his
off season. Could say he goes four or five though, for ten points,
six boards, to assist a steal, a big one late, and
a block, and guys were looking for him again near the basket for some
easy oops. And when he's beating his man down the floor and it's Carl
Anthony Towns, who has no eagles said can run like a gazelle. That's
when you know if Viza Zubats is starting to feel pretty good. Towns went
just six of sixteen two credit of Vizza Zubats for some of that defense.
Let's go to Sean and Englewood. Sean, what's up here on Clippers off?
Without of Aston, Hey Adams did to hear from you, mate?
I just wanted to point out a couple of things. They're hitting their threes,
but they're taking their threes in rhythm. Now they're taking I think,
Sean, Sean, I gotta say, those are the same threes that they
were missing before they were in rhythm. They just missed. No, I
don't think so. I think you were rushing to shot just here. Well,
well, they've been perplexed at why they're missing open threes. The players
are the ones saying that they're just missing them. Yeah, well, anyway,
let me just say this. As good as they're playing, if you
think about it, they have a front line that's not playing them Kawai Morris,
and a backer that can start for almost ten team with the NBA,
of course, and when those guys come back, they're really going to be
a superpower again. And I just expect them to take the West this year,
Sean, Thank you for the phone call, Sean. Was some optimism
there at the end. Another thing the Clippers, another area they've been struggling
in was just rebounding. And while they only had three offensive rebounds, some
of that is a byproduct and product of making sixty percent of their shots,
they still had thirty five total. They competed out there. Minnesota finished with
thirty nine, and Minnesota shot forty five percent from the field. They have
stretches where guys got hot. They really did, and Anthony Edwards finished with
twenty eight points. He's making that next step in his second year. Now.
They're a very good young team that didn't have D'Angelo Russell Tonight. Patrick
Beverly is helping them, but he did have that big turnover where he threw
the ball to Luke Kennard after they got into it for a second, and
Patrick Beverley was getting into it also with Paul George, a bit of a
one out one battle. You saw that in the second half where George eventually
went by him, but the crowd got into it. It was just fun
to see Patrick Beverly again, granted in a different uniform, and I know
he's an all time favorite for your Los Angeles Clippers, and he helped set
some of the culture that's been built over the last three years. He's part
of the foundation that has led the Clippers to this point. But I really
liked what we saw from Nicholas Batoum Offensively. You know the defense is going
to be there, the hustle. Coach lu said he set the tone last
game defensively, and he's been doing that with the starters and overall so far
this season Clippers. Coming into this game, they were fifth defensively. I'm
pretty sure that's surprising to most of Clipper Nation. They would have thought of
anything, they'd be better offensively and the defense would take more time to catch
up. But I kind of see that as a blessing in disguise almost that
they're going through these hardships offensively, that they're having a tough time figuring things
out on offense. Because while they work out the kinks on offense, and
they have the talent and they have the personnel, and they have the roster
and the guys to hit shots. We saw it tonight, they had to
develop that defensive mentality because that was the only way they could win games with
their defense, with holding teams down. They only scored ninety nine points Monday
night, but they only gave up ninety four, So it could be a
blessing in disguise long term for them to have to lean on their defense while
their offense was still coming around. Let's go to Greg and Ventura. Greg,
what's up here on Clipper Stop with Atamasin. I'm you and Noah have
stepped up your game this year. You guys are excellence, and you're more
excellence than you've been before. And I think it's because you've worked on that.
The last time I talked to you, Adam, was the last game
of the season last year, and I recommended that they don't resign Kauai,
and you didn't think much of that, but I still don't don't see how
it works out ultimately, because that's a lot of money that they could have
bolstered the roster with. Here's the thing, though, Greg, you can
pay money to keep your own guys. It's not like they would have had
that forty million to go out and spend and bring another free agents. That's
not how it works. Okay, Well I stand corrected then on that,
and I wanted to say, you know, Paul George, I totally agree
with you, he's having a great start of the season and it was really
cool to see guys step up in the last couple of games to supplement him.
I think he is the worst supplement a little while ago. And that's
what they're doing. Nicholas and certainly ready out there shooting like they're like they're
doing. And I think we've got a real chance to stay in the mix
for the whole season, being the playoffs, and we'll see what happens.
Adam, what do you think? I'm with you, Greg, great phone
call. He stepped up your game as well. Love Greg and Vincer.
Yeah, this team just has to stay afloat, stay above five hundred,
stay competitive in the Western conference. That's so far everybody's been beating each other
up. You're seeing these wonky shooting nights from everyone out there. It hasn't
just been the Clippers that the new Wilson basketball or the new rules have affected,
because overall teams haven't shot this poorly from three since ninety nine. Teams
around the league shooting their lowest field goal percentage since two thousand and four,
something is up. It hasn't just affected your Los Angeles Clippers, but they
found a way to dig themselves out of that shooting slump. I think it
was more concerning just because it happened at the beginning of the season. If
they already got off to a hot start went through a cold streak, you
would have expected them to get right back to shooting well from distance. Tonight,
things swung back their way in a hurry. Twenty one of thirty six
the Clippers go from three. That's fifty eight point three percent. Coming up
next year, we'll have some postgame audio from head coach shn Lou and Reggie
acton Jackson's mojo back. Who was my player to watch twenty nine points,
had thirteen in the first quarter, thirteen in the third, quarter and then
the biggest shot of the game. Again. When Reggie is going like this,
I really think there's a ripple effect throughout the entire roster. When he's
this confident, they feel like they can't lose. We saw it in the
playoffs. More Clipper stock. Next here on a five seventy sports kitchen dating
come to baby. Look baby, just simply you can't see. This is
LA Clippers basketball quarter three for the time he got it. This is the
official home of your LA Clippers. Last year, the y'all I swear feels
like the last few nights we've been neverwhearing bag, but I just can't remember
it. I'm white in my doing, white in my doets. Sometimes I
wonder Clippers win one twenty six to one fifteen over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minnesota.
Welcome back into Clipper Stock. I'm at a Maslin eight six six nine
eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number if you would like to get on I'm at Follow Adam a
on Twitter as well. We'll get back to your phone calls. But I
do want to hear from Reggie Jackson post game on Valley's Sports with Jamie Mogio.
We're rand in Boston. Junior said to speak nicely to the room,
and I want to know what you said, because you had seventy two percent
of the team's points in the first quarter. You came out on fire.
What got you going? Teammates just making great plays. We were attacking,
touching the paint. Anytime we touching the paint, We've got so many shooters
out here, the ball gets to spraying. So I just got some easy
looks early and then playing off Paul. Paul's gonna draw two or three or
so. He found me, and teammates found me, and I was just
a recipient of good basketball, to be honest. But yeah, I got
a credit my rookie Brandon Boston. He told me I talked to her nicely,
So I just wanted up the last couple of days. I pleaded with
her, just be kind to me. I'll be kind to you, and
I'm fortun enough to get something in so so I gotta go tell him appreciate
it. I gotta give him a big hug when I get her back.
That's great. I was speaking of the team. The guys played so well
tonight, shot over sixty percent, dropped forty five points in the third quarter,
a lot of three balls going down. I want to know what does
it feel like when the offense is moving like that. It feels great for
us, especially with this link that we have, all this athleticism, the
talent that we have. We know we can, like I said, a
touch of paint. We have a lot of mismatches because we have a bunch
of smalls. Our wings slash those guys that can touch the paint. So
for defensively, once we get stops, we get the rebound, we can
get out, we can got speed, get people cross match, like I
said, getting the paint, then fine, fine shooters. So Nico really
got us going early, he got hot, and then the rest of us
I think kind of fed off that. So many great things to take away
from this game. You guys have now back to back wins. What do
you take away? What do you build upon our communication? I think we
did a great job community gaming. I think we came out here and competed,
competed and played hard. We're gonna understand, We're gonna play play them
again in two more days. A tough team, nothing's gonna be easy.
So we're gonna enjoy this one right now, but we're gonna go back,
get to the drawing board, figure out how we got to be better,
and come out here and expect another tough fight on front. Now. There
was Reggie Jackson postgame speaking with Jamie Mazzio from Bally Sports West. Reggie goes
seven of nine from three. Those seven makes a career high. He had
six by the third quarter, but that seventh came late to put the Clippers
back up double digits. They would win eventually, buy eleven over the Minnesota
Timberwolves and somebody else who I think can take this team to new heights,
if they're going to level up, if they are going to surprise people,
even without Kawhi Leonard, I think Terrence Man and his scoring are more important
than people realize. He had seventeen had thirteen of those points in the second
quarter, and that was when the Clippers got up twelve. They let go
of the lead. We're only up by four after they let up a little
bit in the last two minutes of that second quarter. But Terrence Man six
of seven from the field, three of three from distance. Look, he
shot forty one percent from three last year it was only on about an attempt
per game. But he is a really skilled offensive player that showed some of
that tonight. And if they can maximize his talent during this season while they're
without Kawhi Leonard right now, without Marcus Morris, without Serge Ibaka, I
just think if he gets closer to averaging let's say, thirteen or fifteen points
per game, it can really change the trajectory of this Clippers year. In
fact, let's hear from Terrence Man post game after a seventeen point performance and
the Clippers one twenty six to one fifteen win over the Minnesota Wolves, which
I will always do all the time, you know, stay confident in my
shot, okay, which I will always do. Tire preteen just to shooting
shooting made us keeping not to bone and not the phone. How hard is
that? It's actually Louisi went with this young turner around the same turner around.
It's not that hard. I mean, I've been playing basketball in my
life, so I know how the game goes. You know, everybody goes
to you know a little bit of a slump shooting the ball or whatever you
want to call it. But you know, you know, yourself. You
know your shot, and you know when the missus feel good, then you
just keep shooting him. Someone who has had to develop your shot, everythings
to do left forward stay, Uh, what where do you feel like you're
most comfortable shooting? Evolved? Whatever you kind of found to be something weirds
like alo if I getting this kind of rhythm with college fields and cow fetching
it, I'm on making shots. I think it's just like everybody else.
When that first one goes in, you know you everybody feels like you almost
unstoppable at that point. I know, I do. He knows difference all
ready, mother difference. Nah. I mean he's playing aggressive like he's been
all year. You know, got up eighteen shots, did this thing and
they've fallen tonight. And that's you know, that's just what the difference was
between this week's games and uh, last week, Reggie Jackson and the Clippers
found a slump buster in Minnesota. They win by eleven over the Timberwolves.
They'll see that same team coming up on Friday, coming up here on Clippers.
Sooft though, we'll get back to your phone calls eight six six ninety
eight seven two five seventy eight six six, nine, eight, seven,
two, five seventy we'll hear from coach lou after the Clippers win two in
a row and now three and four on the season. And this is Clippers
tuck. I'm at a Oslin and you're listening to a five seventy elf sports
say if you were re first nineteen seventy five and half was born in with
a man a way before I got had wrapped. My mama had an again
at the eighth of seeing my daddy was then back to more LA Clippers Basketball
Act Defense the offense for the Clippers on the official home of your Los Angeles
Clippers. Yeah, all I do is we we we no matter what,
We'll got money on my mind, I can ever get enough. And every
time I've never building, everybody go up and they say that I know,
it's just a third win of the season, But the Queen of Clipper Nation,
Lily Batoum, put the gift out earlier. Plus she liked one of
my tweets, which always makes me feel good. So I had to play
tonight. Clippers win one twenty six to one fifteen over the Minnesota Simberwolves.
Nick Batoum twenty points, five boards and assists to steal a block and go
six of eight from three as the Clippers go twenty one to thirty six as
a team from distance, Wilson, they're figuring out the new basketball. It
could sound crazy to some. I get it. They're professionals. That also
means they are so finely tuned dexterity wise and have been playing with the Spaulding
basketball their entire lives, and now they have to switch it up, and
some guys have adjusted quicker than others. I expected to keep happening though,
for this team, for them to continue to progress to the mean. I
don't know if they're gonna leave the league and shoot forty one percent from three
again this year. But they can shoot the thirty eight. They can shoot
thirty nine. Last year was a very special year from three. But if
they do the same things, if they apply the same principles drive, kick,
swing, and pass up good shots for great shots, they're gonna have
a few more nights this season where they shoot close to sixty percent from distance.
Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm at a moslin to eight six six
ninety eight seven two seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy.
Let's hear from coach lou after the Clippers make it two in a row.
They win in Minnesota and they'll see them in the Twin Cities again Friday,
like I said, gets his team. They turned They turned teams over.
We knew that coming into the game, you know, like I said,
I thought we asked me careless ones. But they did a good job defensively
being into us and I'm pressing us about Pat Bailey's pressure, bandon Bill's pressure.
I thought they did a good job. We're trying to get into the
basketball, you know, given twenty one turn offs for thirty points, and
we talked about it before the game. You know, we gotta take care
of the basketball. But we didn't do that. Oh well, other than
that, you know, I think they had fifteen offensive rebounds, but they
got those mostly in the second half when he was crashing, and Pat Beaverley
had six. So, like we said, the guards are gonna crash as
well. It's not just the big man. We gotta make sure we put
bodies on everybody. And he heard us on the glass tonight. But you
know, just offensively, you know, having thirty three assists, you know,
making with twenty one three is out of thirty six. I thought it
was good. And you know, guys continue keep taking their shots. We
talked about it all week long about just stepping up, having confidence and taking
their shots. And our guys were open and they they made shots. So
that was good to see. Is this another kind of reason why he will
say, you know, keep taking the shots, keep playing the way that
they're playing, even though some of those passes will put up in the other
team's ends. You see what was the result when johns were made. Yeah,
I mean, you know, when PEG's driving, when Reggie's driving and
Blaso's driving, or like you know, we get into the paint, guys
have to help and with Zeo's presence underneath the back, underneath the glass like
guards are coming back to crackback. So open threes are available if you make
the right pass and the right play. And I thought we did that tonight.
Like I said, thirty three assists. We got some wide open shots
and let me finally knocks them downs. Make my day that we preach shot
at the end, you can't say helpout being both three points says asting be
doing. But how much do you can you did a game shooting performance like
this, Oh, Paul was big. But like you know, I don't
think Reggie's compience every waivers. You know, he's one of those guys that
you know plays through it. He puts the work in and you don't have
you know, times when you don't shoot the ball as well as you want
to. You know, everybody goes through it. But you know, when
you're open and there's a good shots, you have to take those shots.
And that's why that's why I've been preaching over the last couple of weeks,
has to be built in the fourth quarters. Both eight. You kind of
almosts your from your prospective Jets teams you didn't have some other name, But
tomorrow you seem like he's guy fluted up and fairly made it. Frum on
what Reggie could must the ball if he was driving something on his knees when
he fell down. Yeah, there aspect. I mean, I don't know
when it got through. And like I said, Nico makes some huge shots
for us when they had momentum. You know a few times in that game,
Nico stepped up and makes some big shots to kind of you know,
get you know, sell them down, selling loves down and stopped them from
gaining more momentum. So he makes some big shots for us the like listen
to get that definitely in a game like this, Oh, it's just different.
You know. If I'm just having them on our team and have him
on our side and now having to compete against him. You know, I
guess I love have Bev and remind me a lot of myself, you know,
just how I had to get here and you know, scratching and clawing
to to be who he is today. So I've always loved a guy.
He always have a special place in my heart, and so it's just good
to see him out there. But you know, it was just tough that
he's on the other side. Clip Or Nation is always going to have a
ton of love for Patrick Beverley, deservedly. So it was a part of
the corps that helped turn things around and make that transition from lob City to
the two one three connection now with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. Something else
Toron Lu talks about there. He was asked about that three pointer right place,
right time, Nicholas Batoum hitting that huge three pointer late in the game
with two fifty five left. It was just a five point game at one
eighteen to one thirteen. Nicholas Batum hitting six three pointers, but timely three
pointers. That's what we've seen from him since he has been a Clipper.
It's something he did earlier with Charlotte, with Portland as well. But Coach
lu started off talking about the turnovers and that was an issue early on this
game, and he said, at Minnesota is very good at turning you over,
but the Clippers have been the best at taking care of the basketball so
far this season. They had average just twelve turnovers per game coming into this
one, and they had thirteen at the half, but they progressively got a
little bit better after the first half. At least they had six turnovers on
the first quarter, seven in the second quarter, but then just four in
the third quarter, just four in that fourth quarter. All right, Clippers
win one twenty six to one fifteen in Minnesota. They are staying there,
extended stay in the Twin Cities. They're taken on the Timberwolves again Friday night.
