the Clippers, they were in attack mode Adam Osley. The Clippers took four
days off in three quarters, but in the fourth the guy they once called
the King of the North was the King of the fourth. That was Kawhi
Leonard with fourteen points in the fourth quarter, down the stretch with the Clippers
down fifteen points entering the period, and they go on a twenty two to
zero run to win one twenty five to one fourteen over the Brooklyn Nets.
Here at Crypto dot com arena, welcome into Clippers Talk and abbreviated shortened episode
is we have Chiefs in Buffalo taking on the Bills a divisional round playoff game
coming up at the bottom of the hour eight six six ninety seven two five
seventy though, is still the phone number if you'd like to get on hold.
Maybe we'll get to Sean and Inglewood if we have time here. What
a turnaround I have wondered if this was a flip the switch type of team
for some time here. They found themselves when they needed too late after sleepwalking
into a ball game, letting the Brooklyn Nets get going, but then eventually
shutting off the water at the very end of the game. There was a
drought, a deep funk from a Brooklyn Nets team that couldn't miss early on,
and they didn't make another shot in the last five minutes and thirty three
seconds of the ballgame. After McHale Bridges got a two pointer to make it
one fourteen to one oh three, that was it. That was when the
twenty two to o run started for your Los Angeles Clippers. It was a
timeout that led to a PG thirteen three pointer. Great Ato. First,
they were looking for him at the rim for an easy lob. Wasn't there?
Pop back out got the three over Spencer Dinwiddie. They like the matchup.
It worked. Then it was Kawhi Leonard getting a dunk, a big
one. You could feel Crypto dot com Arena come alive. They got another
stop, a Nick Clason missed three point. Kawhi then draws a foul on
Cam Johnson gets to the free throw line for a couple, then a Norman
Pal three, a Kawhi Midi back to the free throw line for two more.
I said it on the broadcast, if they were gonna win this ball
game, some of it was gonna have to happen to the charity stripe.
They had to slow the game down, and they got Brooklyn in the penalty
early in the fourth. Another Kawhi then three pointer made it one twenty one
fourteen, and all of a sudden, the Clippers are up by six.
A Norman pal dunk with some icing on the cake, or maybe it was
that late Kawhi three to put them up with their final score one twenty five
to one fourteen. Hashtag come back clips in unbelievable effort in the fourth quarter
after there wasn't enough effort through the first three. But let me tell you
this, Brian Seaman asked this question pregame to coach lou He said, how
are you going to figure out how to motivate this team when on the season,
teams that had four days off of rest for rest were one in seven,
now two and seven. It's the entire league. It's not just this
Clippers team that has trouble with that much time off or has trouble with early
Mattinee home games. Of course they are the only ones to have to deal
with those, but they figured it out. They won the fourth quarter forty
one, two fifteen. They hadn't given up less than twenty seven points in
the quarter to Brooklyn, and then they hold them to fifteen points, and
all of a sudden, when the pressure was on, when the Nets felt
the momentum shift, those shots were no longer falling. Cam Thomas was hitting
ridiculous shots as you would expect, as he always does. Even when the
Clippers started playing better defense early on in the fourth quarter, when the tide
was starting to turn, he still was hitting tough jumpers over a mere coffee
where it was fouled on one I believe, just a tough fallaway on the
left elbow. But as the crowd got into it, the Clippers took the
momentum and Kawhi Leonard took them home. This is why if you're gonna go
out and have a stinker like this, like we thought they were gonna lose,
where two point three was nowhere to be seen, where their superstars just
weren't performing. If you're gonna go out, you gotta go out firing with
the ones that brought you, dance with the ones that brought you. It
was Kawhi Leonard and Paul George having awful, miserable games, uncharacteristically bad games
in the first half they combined to go four ver seventeen. You gotta stick
with it though. They get paid to close out games, and that's what
they were able to do. Only got about five minutes left. We'll get
to your phone calls here Morris in Long Beach. You got thirty seconds here
on Clippers Talck. What's up? Morris? And this was one hell Adam,
This was one hell of a game. Adam. I had one eye
on the football game, another either going down to day as a mad Day
game and kawhiet and just Kawhi gone seven points. He had set food woke
up in a point. Look out, Adam, they're ready to go.
They are ready. Hell of the game, Live, Hell of the game.
I'm too excited. Hell of the game, and I've gone too long.
Thank you for the phone call, Morris. Without talking about Russell Westbrook
had twenty three point points, most in a Clippers victory this season, ten
of sixteen shooting, most field goals since Game four versus the Suns in the
playoffs, nine boards, six assists, and really made the biggest impact and
kept them in it in a game where they were lifeless. They didn't have
the energy. Russ brought it. He was, I want to say,
the only guy that was a positive at the half in the plus minus category.
He ended up a team high plus twenty two out there in thirty one
minutes, ten of sixteen shooting. He saved them in this one. They
have no shot without Russ playing like he always does when everybody else was stuck
in mud, cement, quicksand Russ was bringing the energy, getting out in
transition and converting some of those layups he had been missing recently. But his
spirit kept them alive, kept them believing. I think and Coach lou I
talked about that ato he kept making the right decisions lineup wise, I didn't
like them going big early on for too long, at least to start out
Halves. I thought it wasn't gonna work against Brooklyn with all their switchability out
there. It wasn't. Mason Plumley was eventually pulled midway through that third quarter.
It was a lot more Daniel Tice, He's only six' eight,
and then by the end of the game it was the big four with Norman
Powell closing things out. Terrence Man got some run too. A mere Coffee
was in there at times, but you had to match what Brooklyn was doing
with their size to win this game. Oh, speaking of a guy who
always thinks you have to play big Sean and Inglewood, Shawn, you're on
Clipper Stock without a massl Clipper Nation. Are you not entertained? I'll tell
you what. That was a beautiful game, even though I'll tell you,
Adam, I thought they were going to blow that one. I'm sure you
did. Are you there? Did I get an email from you saying this
team doesn't have it? No? You did, No, you didn't.
I was hoping. I said, they just can't blow this one. That's
this one. And they came through, and I'm so happy and Yeah,
shout out to Russ because Russ held it together and he just shows his leadership
all the time. So that's all I gotta say. All right, good
phone call, Appreciate you. Sean. Russ was mister consistent throughout the four
quarters. But somebody who really woke up, especially in the second half.
Just nine points of the half is what James Harden had. He ends up
with twenty four. Hit a tough step back in the fourth, then got
fouled on one, knocked down all three three throws, ends up with ten
assists, did have four turnovers, some bad ones, but six of eleven
shooting three of six from the outside. He was my player to watch.
Finished up with a team high of twenty four. What a comeback. As
fast and furious as it was for the Clippers. That's as fast as we
got to get out today. Programming note coming up bottom of the hour.
You're on m five to seventy LA Sports Divisional round in the AFC Chiefs in
Buffalo taking on the bills. Before we get out of here. I do
want to thank the Clippers organization. Ryan Seaman, Ralph Lawler, Noah Eagle
saw him today here at Crypto. Big Brother Jake Warner, our head engine,
Zach o'caldy, our producer back in the bank. I'm sorry we had
to make it a quickie. Well that's how the Clippers did it in the
fourth quarter with a fast and furious comeback on a twenty two to oh run
down fifteen entering the period to win it. Final score once twenty five to
one fourteen. They're back taking on the Lakers Tuesday night here at Crypto.
I'm out of Masla. We'll talk to you then. Why was doing his
thing? All they want to do is win, La win. I thought
