What a victory by the Clippers. 23 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.719 Chris dunndowters, James hardened doubters. What do you have to 24 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.200 say now? Chris Dunn started off the game hot from 25 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.480 the outside, started off the game. Given Steph Curry fits, 26 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.719 he ends up three of three from distance and plays 27 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:28.840 some of the toughest perimeter defense I've ever seen in 28 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.239 my life. Yes, Steph is Steph, and he had twenty 29 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.920 one points in the fourth quarter in overtime, but you 30 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.799 held him down enough throughout most of the ballgame, where 31 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.040 in the first half I believe the Clippers at one 32 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.519 point were plus fifteen with Steph on the court. They 33 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.560 made their run at the end of the first and 34 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:54.719 into the second without Steph Curry. This Clippers team, this 35 00:01:54.760 --> 00:02:00.079 Clippers season, is an all timer. You'll never forget how 36 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.879 much this team was doubted heading into the year, and 37 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:08.439 how they came through winning fifty games and stayed out 38 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.080 of the playing and got the five spot. And oh 39 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.840 if Houston could have helped him out, they could have 40 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:18.039 been four. But that's all right. Clippers are used to 41 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.919 doing it the hard way. Things weren't perfect in this game. 42 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:26.360 They had some miserable turnovers. But I am in the 43 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:32.000 mode right now of results over process because it's basically 44 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.159 the playoffs. Yes, some of those bad habits they may 45 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.280 catch up with them down the line. They luckily didn't 46 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.759 in this ball game because they were creating turnovers on 47 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.719 the other end, and the Clippers were the squad that 48 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.479 was a little bit better down the stretch with holding 49 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.319 onto the basketball. But what a fourth quarter in over time. 50 00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:01.120 This Clippers team led by one at the half after 51 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:04.800 a first half where I liked how they started with 52 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.960 Steph on the court, but then they let go of things. 53 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.879 It was a close ballgame. Kawhi and one to put 54 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:18.560 them up by nineteen to fifteen. Early in the first 55 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.639 Zoo to done for a layup twenty one to seventeen. 56 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.800 Buddy Healed, though would hit a three pointer to make 57 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:35.159 it twenty two to twenty one. Clippers only up by two, 58 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.759 and then Steph Curry went out of the ballgame and 59 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:47.439 the Clippers ended up going ice cold where their backups 60 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.759 were not getting it done. This game was about the starters. 61 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.680 This game was about their superstars. This game was about 62 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:02.599 their big three in why James Harden of eats Zubats 63 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:10.759 and Chris Dunn for the most part, because unfortunately, the 64 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.360 backups did not have their best. It was a mere 65 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.079 coffee's first game back in a couple of weeks. He 66 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.120 didn't look right, had a really bad turnover, and the 67 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.040 Clippers went through a stretch where they gave up a 68 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.120 fifteen to oh run from the end of the first 69 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:36.279 into the second quarter. It was hard to watch. Harden 70 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.399 had a really bad behind the back pass, Tobogie a 71 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.000 POD's layup going the other way into the first quarter, 72 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.839 and the Warriors were up thirty three to twenty five 73 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:52.759 after one. When the Clippers had that early lead, when 74 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.879 I thought they had come out with the right energy, Well, 75 00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.319 the starters did. They did their thing. They won the 76 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.800 Steph Curry minutes. The backups weren't good enough. That's okay, 77 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.120 that's why the starters get paid what they do when 78 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.240 they came through. But down eight after one and I 79 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.519 thought they just won the Steph Curry minutes and you're 80 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.519 down eight, How does that happen? Norm is getting blocked 81 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:30.079 by Moody in the second quarter. They had turnover after turnover, 82 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.800 a Draymond Green three pointer early second I was concerned 83 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:43.360 about that. As Kawhi got doubled, was throwing the basketball 84 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.199 away and the Clippers had plenty of issues with turnovers 85 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.639 in this ball game. Zubats came back in early second 86 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:57.000 with Norm dj Bogie Kawhi, they continued to miss. A 87 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:05.040 Kawhi three pointer was the first field goal from the 88 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.920 three forty six mark of the first quarter through the 89 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:15.279 nine to nineteen mark of the second quarter. So we're 90 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.839 talking about six minutes with the Clippers not getting a 91 00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:27.439 field goal. It was unbelievable. It was brutal, and there 92 00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:29.480 was a fifteen to ozer run by Golden State, and 93 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.040 it honestly could have been worse. That Kawhi three pointer 94 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.560 got it to thirty seven to twenty eight after they 95 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.959 were down by twelve. Another Norm turnover. Moody Steele goes 96 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.879 the other way. Bogie would hit a three ball in 97 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.319 a game where he struggled after he was being matchup 98 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.839 hunted over and over again by Jimmy Butler, and I 99 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.600 thought to myself, you don't need a soft switch on 100 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.240 the perimeter with Jimmy, I had a great three point shooter. 101 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.120 You got time to fight through those screens and stay 102 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.360 with him. Stop giving him Bogie to pick on. That's 103 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.720 not a good matchup for the Clippers. After a timeout, 104 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:18.079 Buddy Healed hit a three pointer, eleven point game. But 105 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.240 then at Kawhi lay up off a really nice feed 106 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.920 a mortar fire pass from James Harden over the top 107 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:27.759 of the defense, Zuo would get a dunk. It's a 108 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.360 nine point game. At forty four to thirty five, another 109 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.879 done three, he goes three or three from the outside. 110 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:38.160 They were all critical. Forty four to thirty eight, Zu 111 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:43.040 bucket off at Kawhi feed four point game, Looney would 112 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.079 put him back up by six, roll into the basket 113 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.480 for a layup. But then the Kawhi big throwdown going 114 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:52.360 left with two hands Don Steel and three. That was 115 00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:57.040 his third three already of the first half. It would 116 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.720 be his last. That's fine. He did his damn job 117 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.759 on all offense, because on defense he was an absolute pest. 118 00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:07.279 I said all season long, I think he's even better 119 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.959 than Patrick Beverley defensively. I think he's that good as 120 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.120 a point of attack specialist. But it's a one point game. 121 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:22.360 The Clippers had trailed by twelve in the second quarter 122 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.839 before the half was over, though, as they were battling 123 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.960 back and forth, there was something special that happened that 124 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:39.600 needed to happen. While there was some wild and crazy 125 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:44.039 basketball and some highly competitive ball out there, Hard and Flower, 126 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.200 putting the Clippers back up forty nine to forty eight. 127 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.000 Dunn picks up his second foul. Well coach lou on 128 00:08:52.120 --> 00:09:00.440 this and won by Jimmy Butler. He reviewed it and 129 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.759 Jimmy got called for the offensive foul. It was overturned. 130 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:08.519 That's a huge swing instead of getting maybe three points there, 131 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:10.559 instead of it being an and one with a foul 132 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:16.320 on Chris Dunn another foul from him, they take it 133 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:22.159 off the board. Now they would have a turnover and 134 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.559 a Jimmy lay up afterwards, fifty to forty nine Warriors. 135 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:29.120 But then a Zubac put back was doing work all 136 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:32.480 game long. Clippers back up by one. Steph three off 137 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:37.159 a screen by Draymond before the half was over, foul 138 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.480 on done away from the ball, Steph hits some free throws. 139 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.559 Clippers are down by four. I'm thinking at this point 140 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.679 they're gonna go into the half down. Kawhi big three 141 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.320 pointer though, right then one point game. Steph misses a three, 142 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.519 Harden hits a three Clippers up by two. Curry hits 143 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.240 a three Clippers down by one, and Norman Palell hits 144 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.360 a thirty eight footer to end the first half to 145 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.639 put the Clippers up by two. After all that sixty 146 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:09.799 to fifty eight, Clippers twenty four minutes in unreal, just 147 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.440 back and forth, Harden three, steph three, Norm buzzer beater 148 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.720 three to end the second. Clippers lead by two heading 149 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.600 into the third quarter. Zoo put back dunk to start 150 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.720 things off. Draymond a three pointer, and I hate seeing 151 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:30.480 Draymond threes. It wouldn't be his last. I respect him, 152 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.759 but he is one of those guys when he's not 153 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.200 on your team, you love to hate him. Kawhi would 154 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.919 hit a three pointer, his twentieth point. Clippers up early 155 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:47.240 in the thirds, sixty five to sixty one, and here 156 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:53.080 come the turnovers. Kawhi offensive foul on Jimmy Butler, another 157 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.840 turnover in transition when the Clippers had a five on 158 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.960 four and Jimmy Butler is still hanging out on that 159 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.200 end because well, the Clippers had numbers going the other way, 160 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:04.600 so what does that mean? Somebody's cherry picking behind them. 161 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.799 Jimmy Butler two handed dunk, sixty five all Draymond three 162 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.519 sixty eight sixty five. Golden State felt like they had 163 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:20.559 retaken control of the ballgame. But then Kawhi steady mid 164 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.799 range bucket falling away right baseline over Draymond and Jimmy Butler. 165 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.559 Just a tough shot on the fade away MJ ninety six. 166 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:34.200 That's the mode he was in. Norm would foul Jimmy 167 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:38.720 Butler on another and one. He had plenty of them. 168 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.960 Clippers still up by three. After a timeout, it was 169 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:47.519 seventy to sixty nine. Clippers are now down by one. 170 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.399 As we go through this, I'll take a quick time 171 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.519 out here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty. Let's pause 172 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:57.519 for station identification for ten seconds. 173 00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:02.759 Here this is LA Clippers Basketball AM eleven k e IV, 174 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:07.559 Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station. 175 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.519 As we move along with the game recap, Kawhi tried 176 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.000 to dunk it with his left hand when you knew 177 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:17.519 he was on different time, he was moving different. Kawhi 178 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.399 was aggressive, The Clippers were aggressive going downhill in that 179 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.000 third quarter. He tried to yam it on some guys 180 00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.360 with the left hand, gets fouled, but he missed the 181 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.879 second pre throw, a sign of things to come. Gary 182 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.639 Payton bucket on the other end really poorly played by 183 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.159 James Harden defensively there, but he had some good defense. 184 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.120 Later in the game, Clippers are down by one. Kawhi 185 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.679 hits a jumper on Buddy Heel. He can't guard them. 186 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.320 We know that Harden with the floater. Now the Clippers 187 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:51.200 are up by three. Time out Golden State. Kerr challenged 188 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:56.639 a turnover by James Or who was last touched on 189 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.840 touched by ended up being out on the Clippers, I believe. 190 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.799 And now the Clippers got dj and Bogie in for 191 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.440 Dunn and Kawhi at the three minute mark of the 192 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.480 third quarter. Bogie fouls right away again as they're trying 193 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:13.519 to pick on him. It was his fourth and then 194 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.240 a Harden turnover. Looking for Viasta Zubots on a long 195 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.000 outlet pass, Zuke kind of misplayed it instead of continuing 196 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:23.720 to run towards the basket. I thought the ball went 197 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.679 over his head and it wasn't that bad of a pass. 198 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.279 If eats a Zubots, I don't think he he saw 199 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.480 it correctly or his catch radius was waiting for it. 200 00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:39.559 But before the third quarter was over, Norburn Pal hit 201 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:45.039 a big bucket, a sweeping layup. It's eighty three, eighty 202 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:49.799 two Clippers heading into the fourth, they were up by 203 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:52.000 two and a half. They're up by one heading into 204 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:57.519 the fourth quarter. Harden, Kawhi, Ben Simmons, DJ and Bogie 205 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.480 start the fourth a lineup we haven't seen all season. 206 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:05.480 Desperate times call for desperate measures. James Harden is not 207 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.679 coming out of this ball game. What an absolute warrior. 208 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:12.080 Excuse me, Clipper, they're playing the Warriors. Jimmy Butler gets 209 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.399 a bucket to start the fourth Clippers down by one. 210 00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:20.360 Harden turnover, but then takes it right back from Pozinski. 211 00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.679 Bogey bucket a floater he misses, gets the rebound, little 212 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:29.519 fade away Clips up eighty five to eighty four. Bogey 213 00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.919 didn't have a good game, but that was key. Still 214 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.159 Pods gets a bucket. The Warriors are up by one. 215 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.240 It's the twentieth lead change of the ballgame. Just an 216 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.559 incredible game. Kawhi now a long three pointer on the 217 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.679 right wing. Clippers up by two. They get the stop. 218 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:52.960 Good defense hardened on Jimmy Butler locked him up. Harden 219 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.000 banks shot going left. Clippers up by four. Draymond misses 220 00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:00.799 a three out of a timeout rebound. Clippers, Bogeys and 221 00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.240 Ben Simmons gets a scrappy board and finds DJ for 222 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.039 the huge oop, but Bogie picks up his fifth foul 223 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.720 on Butler. He hits both free throws. Clippers still up 224 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.200 by four, ninety two to eighty eight. Harden gets fouled 225 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:20.000 on a three then by Gary Payton Junior. Not exactly 226 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.759 the glove, the mitten. I don't know he's good. He 227 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:29.840 hits all three of them. Clippers up ninety five to 228 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:33.879 eighty eight. I thought they got the separation they needed. Nope, 229 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.759 Steph Curry is about to pick up steam. He hits 230 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.960 a three right away on Bogie Kawhi free throw line 231 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.320 jumper ninety seven ninety one, Clippers by six. POD's floater 232 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:49.600 and one. Norman Zoo come back in for Bogey and Ben. 233 00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:53.080 It's the Clippers starters back out there. We're done ninety 234 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:57.720 seven ninety three as Pods misses the free throw to 235 00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.440 complete the and one. The Golden State eight Warriors missed 236 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:06.240 some key free throws in this game. Guys Hard would 237 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.000 miss a layup on the other end, and Curry got 238 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.919 out in transition for a quick layup. Uh oh. Five 239 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:14.759 straight from Steph ninety seven to ninety five. What was 240 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.000 a six point game is down to one. Norm big 241 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.879 scoop layup, Clippers up four. We know how good Norm 242 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.840 is in the fourth quarter. You gotta stick with him, 243 00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.879 you gotta believe in him. Fallon, done on Curry and 244 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:28.919 Golden State is in the bonus. Now with six oh 245 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:33.279 eight left in the game. Curry floater, two point game done. 246 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.200 Floater to answer, big shot from Chris Dunn. Clippers up 247 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.840 by four, pods three on a chaotic play with a 248 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.759 tip out from Looney to him on an offensive rebound. 249 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:46.879 It's a one point game. Is the Clippers are up 250 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:51.480 one oh one to one hundred. Norm misses gets it back. 251 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:54.240 Zoo tries to fade away as the shot clock is 252 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.759 running out. He can't get it. Clippers are only up 253 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.039 by one, but they get a stop on pause. On 254 00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:02.720 the other end, Zue with some great defense. Zoo now 255 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:07.240 hits a floater, big shot. Clippers up three. Steph Curry 256 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.680 is unconscious. There's nothing you could do. He hits a three, 257 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.759 comes off a tough screen. He's already got ten points. 258 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.720 Early in the fourth quarter, it's one o three all done. 259 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.119 Turnover out of the time out, bad turnover. Looking for 260 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:25.359 a viatz a zoobots had me worried. But Gary Payton 261 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:30.160 the second misses a layup, got it back. Curry fouled, 262 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:35.200 goes to the line, hits both, but Norman pal another 263 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:39.519 big bucket in the fourth, reverse layup Andraymond there had 264 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:43.200 nothing for him. One oh five all Curry fouled on 265 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:47.200 a three, then by James Harden gave him a taste 266 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.680 of his own medicine. Harden got fouled on a three earlier. 267 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:56.359 This time he foul Steph. Steph Curry hits both. He's 268 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.839 got fifteen in the fourth. Clippers are down by three. 269 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.920 This is gut check time. What happens right after that? 270 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:10.119 Boom Kawhi jumper his first shot attempting over five minutes. 271 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:15.400 Didn't love that. Clippers down by one, Curry three. He 272 00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:18.720 has eighteen in the fourth. Now you're down by four. 273 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:22.720 This is the moment for the Clippers to me. You're 274 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.000 down by four in the fourth quarter, and Steph Curry 275 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:32.519 cannot miss. With a minute fifty six left, it's one 276 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:37.000 to eleven, one oh seven Golden State Warriors. This is 277 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:41.480 when you could break. But they got to travel on pods. 278 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:46.440 With great defense from James Harden, Clippers get a bucket 279 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.319 off a zoo lob. It's a tie game. Now one 280 00:18:50.400 --> 00:19:01.599 eleven all Kawhi Steele time out Clippers basketball. Just in 281 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:06.640 unbelievable performance. First this, you're down four after the Steph 282 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:10.160 Curry make with a minute fifty six left, James Harden 283 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.039 gets I think it was a bank shot lay up 284 00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:16.240 off the Kawhi assist. Then it's a turnover by Pods 285 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:21.519 for traveling Avista Zubats with the bucket off the assist 286 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:28.319 from Chris Dunn. Tie game, and what happens right afterwards 287 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.480 This was scary. After Kawhi ends up getting a steal 288 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:45.000 off great defense by Chris Dunn swarming Steph Curry. Again, 289 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:53.960 We're tied up at one eleven. Kawhi gets fouled. They 290 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.759 had a foul to give. It's Clippers basketball. There's thirty 291 00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:02.680 two seconds left. They get back to Kawhi. Tie game. 292 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:10.240 Draymond Green intentionally fouls him. Kawhi is headed to the 293 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:13.960 free throw line. That's a little bit later in the 294 00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:19.039 ball game. I'm getting ahead of myself here. The Clippers 295 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:26.480 end up with an underrated play where they get off 296 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:29.160 that turnover from Steph Curry and the Kawhi Steele with 297 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:35.119 thirty two seconds left. They ended up getting a long 298 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.759 two point shot by Kawhi to win it over. Draymond 299 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:42.720 Green doesn't go I didn't love the shot. I gotta 300 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:46.640 be honest about that. I felt like they settled a 301 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:51.400 little bit. Kawhi isoh, yes he had the game winner 302 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:57.440 against Sacramento. But now you're going into overtime tied at 303 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.720 one eleven. What happens typically in ot first team to 304 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.759 make the shot typically wins with five minutes left. It's 305 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.599 not a Lawler's law thing, but look it up. Well, 306 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.839 the first guy to get a shot after both teams 307 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:18.319 were missing first, Gary Payton, then Harden, then Pods misses 308 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.000 a three ball tapped to Steph Curry. He missed an 309 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:25.599 easy one. Well, James Harden hits a three ball to 310 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.960 put him up one fourteen to one eleven, the biggest 311 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:32.160 shot of the game to that point, dun Steele. James 312 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:38.160 Harden hits another three. The Clippers are up six, in 313 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:43.480 complete control. I thought, for sure, this is it, this 314 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:47.640 is the moment, right, it has to be. They're up 315 00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.400 one seventeen to one eleven. But then Zoo doesn't close 316 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.799 out on Draymond Green in the far side corner well enough, 317 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.559 and he gets a three pointer to go after he 318 00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:59.559 already was three or five from the outside. He's had 319 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:01.720 a good seat shooting three pointers. You have to guard 320 00:22:01.759 --> 00:22:07.960 that shot. Brutal three point game, hardened floater. Now and 321 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.359 everybody's talking about will the Clippers get calls in this 322 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.599 game because doesn't the league want Warriors versus Lakers in 323 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.039 the first round. Well, I'd say they might have gotten 324 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:23.400 a call here because James Harden, I think, was passing 325 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:28.559 this ball to a Vitza Zubots. It's tough. It's why 326 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.359 it's so difficult to defend. Was it a floater or 327 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:36.279 was it a pass? As he gets fouled, they said 328 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.039 it was a floater. He was taking a shot. He 329 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.839 gets to go to the free throw line. Clippers go 330 00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:47.359 up one, nineteen to one, fourteen. That wasn't under the radar, 331 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:53.920 huge call that went the Clippers way. This didn't Curry 332 00:22:53.960 --> 00:23:00.480 three pointer? Was it Curry or Gary Payton? I mean 333 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:06.680 went in doubt. It's Steph Curry one nineteen to one, seventeen. 334 00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:10.799 Clippers steal up by two. They're not going away a 335 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.720 six point lead in overtime, feels like a ten point lead. 336 00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:17.480 It feels like a twelve point lead, but Golden State 337 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.640 continued to fight back. Then Kawhi missed a three pointer 338 00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:26.359 over Dremond Zubots, though gets a steal on the other end, 339 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:32.119 huge defensive play James. Then another call that goes in 340 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.279 the Clippers favor and it was obvious to me, but 341 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:39.039 he goes back to the floater, goldtending on Jimmy Butler. 342 00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:45.079 They review it. It was goldtending foul on norm underneath. 343 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:52.759 Now on pods they had a foul to give. But 344 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:57.519 now there's a foul out of the inbounds play and 345 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.920 this was critical done on Jimmy Butler for an and one. 346 00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:06.599 The contact looked marginal. Coach Lou uses his time out, 347 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:11.200 his last one, to go for that review. They win it. 348 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.000 They get the two points, but he doesn't get the 349 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.680 foul call, so there's no and one. Clippers are still 350 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.119 up by two at one twenty one to one nineteen. 351 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:25.440 But then Kawhi traveled on the other end. He lost 352 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.960 the basketball first got to touch it afterwards as he 353 00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.480 was going up for the shot. It's a travel. Draymond Green, 354 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.799 though missed a layup as Kawhi was there with the 355 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:38.160 defense Clippers ball two second difference between game clock and 356 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.160 shot clock norm fouled. They got a side out here 357 00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:44.880 with seven point seven seconds left, they had a foul 358 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:46.720 to give. They're trying to get it to Kawhi to 359 00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:49.319 go through the free throw line. They do. He gets 360 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.000 fouled up too. With six point one seconds left, he 361 00:24:53.119 --> 00:25:03.759 misses the first unbelievably felt like games twenty thirteen against 362 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.559 the Miami Heat and the finals. He missed a crucial 363 00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:11.319 free throw there. Unfortunately, he hits the second though. Clippers 364 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.359 are up three six point one seconds left.
