Yeah, 17 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.680 it's like when you go to a party and some guy shows up three 18 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.799 hours late, but he's the life of the party. That was Kawhi Leonard 19 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.879 today. I mean, didn't show up on time for the Clippers, but 20 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.120 showed up when it mattered, and he brought the joy to this team. 21 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.359 Finished down the stretch big time buckets on nailing the coffin three.

The Clippers took four 39 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.319 days off in three quarters, but in the fourth the guy they once called 40 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.280 the King of the North was the King of the fourth. That was Kawhi 41 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:07.240 Leonard with fourteen points in the fourth quarter, down the stretch with the Clippers 42 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.159 down fifteen points entering the period, and they go on a twenty two to 43 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.039 zero run to win one twenty five to one fourteen over the Brooklyn Nets. 44 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:23.319 Here at Crypto dot com arena, welcome into Clippers Talk and abbreviated shortened episode 45 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:30.000 is we have Chiefs in Buffalo taking on the Bills a divisional round playoff game 46 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.639 coming up at the bottom of the hour eight six six ninety seven two five 47 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.759 seventy though, is still the phone number if you'd like to get on hold. 48 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:42.280 Maybe we'll get to Sean and Inglewood if we have time here. What 49 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.719 a turnaround I have wondered if this was a flip the switch type of team 50 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:52.840 for some time here. They found themselves when they needed too late after sleepwalking 51 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.000 into a ball game, letting the Brooklyn Nets get going, but then eventually 52 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.199 shutting off the water at the very end of the game. There was a 53 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:08.599 drought, a deep funk from a Brooklyn Nets team that couldn't miss early on, 54 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:15.000 and they didn't make another shot in the last five minutes and thirty three 55 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.759 seconds of the ballgame. After McHale Bridges got a two pointer to make it 56 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:24.439 one fourteen to one oh three, that was it. That was when the 57 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:30.519 twenty two to o run started for your Los Angeles Clippers. It was a 58 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.319 timeout that led to a PG thirteen three pointer. Great Ato. First, 59 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.519 they were looking for him at the rim for an easy lob. Wasn't there? 60 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.279 Pop back out got the three over Spencer Dinwiddie. They like the matchup. 61 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.959 It worked. Then it was Kawhi Leonard getting a dunk, a big 62 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.360 one. You could feel Crypto dot com Arena come alive. They got another 63 00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:01.399 stop, a Nick Clason missed three point. Kawhi then draws a foul on 64 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.240 Cam Johnson gets to the free throw line for a couple, then a Norman 65 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.279 Pal three, a Kawhi Midi back to the free throw line for two more. 66 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.959 I said it on the broadcast, if they were gonna win this ball 67 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.120 game, some of it was gonna have to happen to the charity stripe. 68 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.279 They had to slow the game down, and they got Brooklyn in the penalty 69 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:27.279 early in the fourth. Another Kawhi then three pointer made it one twenty one 70 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.480 fourteen, and all of a sudden, the Clippers are up by six. 71 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.439 A Norman pal dunk with some icing on the cake, or maybe it was 72 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:40.240 that late Kawhi three to put them up with their final score one twenty five 73 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:47.560 to one fourteen. Hashtag come back clips in unbelievable effort in the fourth quarter 74 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.199 after there wasn't enough effort through the first three. But let me tell you 75 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:59.519 this, Brian Seaman asked this question pregame to coach lou He said, how 76 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.120 are you going to figure out how to motivate this team when on the season, 77 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:10.120 teams that had four days off of rest for rest were one in seven, 78 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.040 now two and seven. It's the entire league. It's not just this 79 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.399 Clippers team that has trouble with that much time off or has trouble with early 80 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:23.040 Mattinee home games. Of course they are the only ones to have to deal 81 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:28.240 with those, but they figured it out. They won the fourth quarter forty 82 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:32.160 one, two fifteen. They hadn't given up less than twenty seven points in 83 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.879 the quarter to Brooklyn, and then they hold them to fifteen points, and 84 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:41.639 all of a sudden, when the pressure was on, when the Nets felt 85 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.560 the momentum shift, those shots were no longer falling. Cam Thomas was hitting 86 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:51.120 ridiculous shots as you would expect, as he always does. Even when the 87 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:56.160 Clippers started playing better defense early on in the fourth quarter, when the tide 88 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.720 was starting to turn, he still was hitting tough jumpers over a mere coffee 89 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:05.240 where it was fouled on one I believe, just a tough fallaway on the 90 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:11.480 left elbow. But as the crowd got into it, the Clippers took the 91 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:18.800 momentum and Kawhi Leonard took them home. This is why if you're gonna go 92 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.800 out and have a stinker like this, like we thought they were gonna lose, 93 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.879 where two point three was nowhere to be seen, where their superstars just 94 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.160 weren't performing. If you're gonna go out, you gotta go out firing with 95 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.439 the ones that brought you, dance with the ones that brought you. It 96 00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:42.000 was Kawhi Leonard and Paul George having awful, miserable games, uncharacteristically bad games 97 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:47.759 in the first half they combined to go four ver seventeen. You gotta stick 98 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.199 with it though. They get paid to close out games, and that's what 99 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.959 they were able to do. Only got about five minutes left. We'll get 100 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.800 to your phone calls here Morris in Long Beach. You got thirty seconds here 101 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.279 on Clippers Talck. What's up? Morris? And this was one hell Adam, 102 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.680 This was one hell of a game. Adam. I had one eye 103 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.079 on the football game, another either going down to day as a mad Day 104 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.480 game and kawhiet and just Kawhi gone seven points. He had set food woke 105 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.040 up in a point. Look out, Adam, they're ready to go. 106 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.319 They are ready. Hell of the game, Live, Hell of the game. 107 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.120 I'm too excited. Hell of the game, and I've gone too long. 108 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.079 Thank you for the phone call, Morris. Without talking about Russell Westbrook 109 00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:31.720 had twenty three point points, most in a Clippers victory this season, ten 110 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.399 of sixteen shooting, most field goals since Game four versus the Suns in the 111 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:43.320 playoffs, nine boards, six assists, and really made the biggest impact and 112 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.799 kept them in it in a game where they were lifeless. They didn't have 113 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.480 the energy. Russ brought it. He was, I want to say, 114 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:56.759 the only guy that was a positive at the half in the plus minus category. 115 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.759 He ended up a team high plus twenty two out there in thirty one 116 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.720 minutes, ten of sixteen shooting. He saved them in this one. They 117 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.279 have no shot without Russ playing like he always does when everybody else was stuck 118 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:16.559 in mud, cement, quicksand Russ was bringing the energy, getting out in 119 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:22.600 transition and converting some of those layups he had been missing recently. But his 120 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.639 spirit kept them alive, kept them believing. I think and Coach lou I 121 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.919 talked about that ato he kept making the right decisions lineup wise, I didn't 122 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:39.600 like them going big early on for too long, at least to start out 123 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.519 Halves. I thought it wasn't gonna work against Brooklyn with all their switchability out 124 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.639 there. It wasn't. Mason Plumley was eventually pulled midway through that third quarter. 125 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:50.639 It was a lot more Daniel Tice, He's only six' eight, 126 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.399 and then by the end of the game it was the big four with Norman 127 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:03.360 Powell closing things out. Terrence Man got some run too. A mere Coffee 128 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.120 was in there at times, but you had to match what Brooklyn was doing 129 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.000 with their size to win this game. Oh, speaking of a guy who 130 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.600 always thinks you have to play big Sean and Inglewood, Shawn, you're on 131 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:22.000 Clipper Stock without a massl Clipper Nation. Are you not entertained? I'll tell 132 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.200 you what. That was a beautiful game, even though I'll tell you, 133 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.559 Adam, I thought they were going to blow that one. I'm sure you 134 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.240 did. Are you there? Did I get an email from you saying this 135 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.679 team doesn't have it? No? You did, No, you didn't. 136 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.639 I was hoping. I said, they just can't blow this one. That's 137 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.000 this one. And they came through, and I'm so happy and Yeah, 138 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.320 shout out to Russ because Russ held it together and he just shows his leadership 139 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.840 all the time. So that's all I gotta say. All right, good 140 00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:00.440 phone call, Appreciate you. Sean. Russ was mister consistent throughout the four 141 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.279 quarters. But somebody who really woke up, especially in the second half. 142 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.720 Just nine points of the half is what James Harden had. He ends up 143 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.559 with twenty four. Hit a tough step back in the fourth, then got 144 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.919 fouled on one, knocked down all three three throws, ends up with ten 145 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.799 assists, did have four turnovers, some bad ones, but six of eleven 146 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:26.240 shooting three of six from the outside. He was my player to watch. 147 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.759 Finished up with a team high of twenty four. What a comeback. As 148 00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.559 fast and furious as it was for the Clippers. That's as fast as we 149 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.879 got to get out today.
