WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:01.760 The LA Clippers. 2 00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:05.759 The game is ended, gather round boys, time to recap. 3 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.759 But the post game coverage is just getting started. 4 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:10.240 The success is the failure. 5 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.519 Let's discuss this is Clippers locker road breaking down today's 6 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.480 action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers. 7 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:19.480 Here's at a moss Lag. 8 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.079 Clippers lose a heartbreaker in Minnesota. They fall ninety three 9 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.640 to ninety two late to the Timberwolves. Welcome into your 10 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.839 postgame show. I'm at a Moslin coming up second half. 11 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.479 Highlight your postgame box score and Clippers stock on m 12 00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.759 five to seventy LA Sports if you want to get 13 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.560 on early eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy. 14 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.119 But first we go back out to Target Center with 15 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.880 Carlo Jimenez. Carlo, I was wondering late there if the 16 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.719 Clippers might foul. Maybe, UH clue me in on this 17 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.359 because I wasn't sure the game clock versus shot clock? 18 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.600 Were there two more seconds on the shot clock or 19 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:57.920 less on the shot clock than the game clock in 20 00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:59.600 this one? Is that why the Clippers in foul? 21 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.560 Yeah, they had about two seconds in between shot and 22 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.879 game clock. At him down the stretch. I agree with 23 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.120 you because it is a one point game, even if 24 00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.280 you foul, you have a chance to tie. So I 25 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.959 understand the thinking there, But also at the Clippers defense 26 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:17.280 had for seventeen steals tonight, so maybe you think our 27 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.719 defense has been so so good, let's get a stop, 28 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.079 rely on them, and then hopefully get a bucket on 29 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.959 the other end. It's a coin flip decision from ty lu. 30 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.799 I don't think he made the wrong one in this one, 31 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.799 with the way his defense had been playing. The Clippers 32 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.640 lost this game because they scored two points in the 33 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.680 final four minutes and ten seconds and that was the 34 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.439 Vitza Zubats tip in, and had three turnovers in that 35 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:41.480 stretch as well. 36 00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.079 They look so good at him, but I think at the. 37 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.120 End of this four game road trip, a long one 38 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.560 at that, they just ran out of gas down the stretch, 39 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.840 could not get the offense going that had been working 40 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.480 at such a high level through those first three quarters. 41 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.040 Yeah, I'm with you. It's a tough call. All the steals, 42 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.640 all the turnovers they were creating, they just couldn't get 43 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.760 that offensive rebound away from the Minnesota Timberwolves, who got 44 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.159 a couple of them. And it looked like Chris Dunn 45 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.840 was going to come up with it, he lost the 46 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.159 ball to Mike Conley. It was a little bit of 47 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:10.360 a chaotic sequence late there, and the Clippers just stalled 48 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.039 out on the offensive end. You mentioned it, but just 49 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.479 two points in the last four minutes. Clippers offense not 50 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.240 good enough when it needed to be in a defensive battle. 51 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.719 But there were so many good performances in this one. 52 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.520 I felt like Aviza's zoobots played very well. I know 53 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.719 they tried to give him the basketball against Rudy Gobert 54 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.439 late there weren't able to as Kevin Porter's junior turned 55 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.360 it over as he was falling out of bounds and 56 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.479 rolled his ankle there. But James Harden with big shots, 57 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:37.080 Nico but Toom was some huge shots in this one 58 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.719 for the Clippers. They just come up one. 59 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.240 Point short, one point short, and all I can think 60 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.360 about Adam is Dante Divincenzo's bank three at the end 61 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.360 of the shot talk on the left wing, and the 62 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.560 Clippers were that close in this one. They were that close, 63 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.840 and like you said, a lot of positives to take away. 64 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:53.879 I think there was a lot of moments in which 65 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.280 they looked like a team that had figured things out 66 00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:01.000 offensively and defensively, Adam probably their best to performance of 67 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.560 the season when you think about all the turnovers they 68 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.039 forced and the way they were slow down and offense 69 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.599 that had been lights out to start the game. Minnesota 70 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.639 came into this game averaging one hundred and twelve points 71 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.479 and they finished with ninety three of them on the night, 72 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.800 almost twenty points less than their season average. 73 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.120 The Clippers were excellent on the defensive end. 74 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.439 It was fun to watch this team play with so 75 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.879 much heart, play like they were the team that had 76 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.159 lost four in a row. But I think you're just 77 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.240 going out with a little steam late. The good news 78 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.479 is though you got them one more time. Minnesota will 79 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.360 come to town on Wednesday, and let me tell you what 80 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.199 that is going to be a fun rematch. 81 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:34.639 Yeah. 82 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.120 I like the way these two teams match up against 83 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.199 one another here. The defensive battle at this turned into 84 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:44.080 the grind house that the Target Center turned into. That 85 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.199 was a fun one. Unfortunately, the Clippers came up just short. 86 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.240 They lose ninety three to ninety two in Minnesota to 87 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.159 the Timberwolves. As Carlo mentioned, they'll run it back into 88 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.919 a Dome next week December fourth, but before that on Sunday. 89 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.400 Clippers back Home taken on the Denver Nuggets. Sunday night 90 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.240 tip off for that when it into a Dome is 91 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.199 at seven. We'll have your pregame show starting at six. 92 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.280 Carlo Jimenez, great call a is always will be good 93 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.120 to see you back home at into it on Sunday night. 94 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:17.759 My friend, I miss Jadam. I will see you Sunday. Clippers. 95 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:19.759 We'll hope to get back in the wind column. We 96 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.519 got another one. Let's go. 97 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.399 Clippers fall late in Minnesota to the Timberwolves. Final score 98 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.399 ninety three to ninety two. Second half highlights coming up 99 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.480 next right here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. 100 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:35.759 I love this team. I never miss a game. 101 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.120 You're listening to LA Clippers basketball free ball, Yes, sir, 102 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.480 right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network. 103 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.560 Clippers lose late in Minnesota ninety three to ninety two 104 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:54.000 as they could not execute late in the ballgame. With 105 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.319 four minutes and ten seconds left, the Clippers led ninety 106 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.519 to eighty seven, but they would score just two more 107 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.079 points on a tip end by a Viza Zubots, and 108 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.720 they would lose ninety three to ninety two. They got 109 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.120 outscored six to two in the final four minutes of 110 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:15.360 this one, and then an interesting play down the stretches. 111 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.360 I bring it up on my phone to try to 112 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:22.959 rewatch exactly what happened here. With just under forty seconds left, 113 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.720 It's Minnesota basketball. It's ninety three to ninety two. They 114 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.360 lead by one. The Clippers get a stop, they get 115 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.399 the ball back. They have a chance to win the 116 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.800 ball game. Even if Minnesota scores and it's not a 117 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.720 three pointer, it's still a one possession game here. But 118 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.720 the Clippers were not able to secure an offensive rebound. 119 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.680 After a miss by no Neil Alexander Walker in the 120 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.680 near side corner was contested by Batoom, Chris Dunn tips 121 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:52.759 it out to himself over Rudy Gobert with twenty nine 122 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.480 point eight seconds left, goals for the basketball and got 123 00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.279 caught by the turf Monster the green floor. He falls 124 00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.040 over going for it, loses it. Mike Conley ends up 125 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.879 picking it up. There's twenty seven point three seconds left, 126 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.079 so Minnesota basketball, and there's about a two second difference 127 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.519 between the game clock and the shot clock. Now make 128 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.199 it three seconds. Minnesota has it back once again. The 129 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.959 Clippers could still end up getting a stop here late 130 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.360 and finding a way to win this ball game. But 131 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.040 instead of fouling, they elected to play it out. With 132 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.639 how good their defense was and a three second difference 133 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.000 between the game clock and the shot clock, I can 134 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.000 understand why Minnesota, though, was running down the clock. They 135 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.480 were parking the bus here late, ten seconds left. They 136 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.519 get it to the right wing. Here comes Nasri with 137 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.600 a basketball, puts it on the floor. Attacks. I think 138 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.839 this is Julius Randall has three players on him. There's 139 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.680 seven and a half seconds left here. The Clippers still 140 00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.480 could elect a foul, but nor James Harden or if 141 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.319 beats a Zubots or Nico Batoum elect to do so 142 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.079 against Julius Randall. Here he kicks it back out. Mike 143 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.120 Conley Junior has it three point two seconds left on 144 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.319 the shot clock, six seconds left on the game clock. 145 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.319 He puts up a three pointer. This would effectively end 146 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.120 the game and put them up by four. There's four 147 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.279 seconds left. It hits the front of the rim. As 148 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.560 I'm trying to the bruder fill my way through this 149 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.839 and again an offensive rebound by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Could 150 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.439 the Clippers have fouled? The shot was put back up immediately. 151 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.519 Nico Batoum was there. It looked like it was Anthony 152 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.759 Edwards and Rudy Gobert underneath the hoop. It would have 153 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.920 to be Nico Batum fouling Rudy Gobert with one point 154 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.040 nine seconds left. That could have been the decision right there. 155 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.800 He did not. Rudy Gobert eventually tried to take it 156 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.959 back out and kicked it back out to the near 157 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.040 side corner to Mike Conley. That would have ended the 158 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.319 ball game. Ninety three is your final. There was an 159 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:08.240 opportunity there to foul intentionally foul Rudy Gobert underneath the basket. 160 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.680 Niko Batoum was the guy closest to him. They didn't, 161 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.160 and there were some errors made and the Clippers self 162 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.920 destructed a little bit down the stretch there. They end 163 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.439 up losing by one in Minnesota to the Timberwolves. Ninety 164 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.920 three to ninety two was your final. We'll take a 165 00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.839 quick time out, we'll come back, We'll get to your 166 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.120 final box score. Clippers dropped to twelve and nine on 167 00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.279 the season, and the Timberwolves break a four game losing streak. 168 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.720 I'm at Amsland and you're listening to the Los Angeles 169 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:39.879 Clippers Audio Network. 170 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:42.279 I love this team. I never miss a game. 171 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:46.720 You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free Ball, Yes, sir, 172 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.039 right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network. 173 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.519 I'm not playing tonight Clipper Nation. If you're in here 174 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.360 in the chat on the YouTube side at Clippers Talk 175 00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.679 and you're saying Chris Dunn is trash because he lost 176 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.480 the basketball late after getting a rebound over Rudy Gobert, 177 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.080 a guy who was and has been one of the 178 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:14.840 best players this season for the Clippers, you're getting a 179 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:20.039 time out immediately. I'm not doing this overreaction. That's crap. 180 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:26.200 I'm sorry, that's insane. Chris Dunn is part of the 181 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.519 reason they were in this ball game, part of the 182 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.000 reason they had seventeen steals. His defense is elite. We're 183 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.159 not playing the blame game and saying trade Chris Dunn 184 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.919 after one bad play where the only reason he even 185 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.399 had a shot to get that board is because he 186 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:51.240 tipped it out to himself over Rudy Gobert. Somehow Clippers 187 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.000 lose a heartbreaker. Let's not blow things out of proportion. 188 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.720 Let's not overreact here. They lose ninety three to ninety 189 00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:01.320 two in Minnesota to the timberwol It drops them to 190 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:06.480 twelve to nine. Minnesota's four game losing streak is over 191 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.120 and they get their first victory in about a week 192 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:09.559 and a half. 193 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:09.879 Here. 194 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.759 Clippers did everything they needed to defensively in this ballgame. 195 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:19.399 They didn't execute well enough down the stretch period and 196 00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:24.679 they should have fouled Rudy Gobert with two seconds left 197 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.080 on the game clock when he got the rebound. I 198 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.480 just rewatched it. Niko Batoum is right there. He doesn't 199 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:37.039 foul him. The Clippers seem to have a memory lapse 200 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.519 of sorts late, not knowing exactly what they needed to do. 201 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.080 La went one for their last six from the field 202 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.679 with three turnovers in the last four minutes and ten seconds. 203 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:53.759 That's why they lost the basketball game or naything. So 204 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.480 let's not do this thing where we talk about getting 205 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.480 rid of guys or overreacting and saying somebody is bad 206 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:03.799 because they had a rough play late. I'm not hearing 207 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:08.440 that stuff. We are out of here until Sunday night. 208 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.440 Clippers back home taking on the Denver Nuggets. Tip Off 209 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.960 is at seven pregame at six.

Clippers had a Chicago 228 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:12.360 Bear's esque end to the game. They lose ninety three 229 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.840 to ninety two after a botch final possession where you 230 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.879 simply have to foul Rudy Gobert with two seconds left 231 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.679 underneath the basket with the ball before you had a 232 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.519 chance to kick it out and they could run the 233 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:27.320 clock out and win the game. Clippers lose Buy one 234 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:31.080 in Minnesota to the Timberwolves. Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm 235 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.759 Adam Oslin eight six six ninety eight seven two five 236 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.879 seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy. 237 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.879 If you're listening on AM five seventy LA Sports or 238 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:45.159 on the YouTube live side at Clippers Talk, appreciate you. 239 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.960 They don't appreciate the overreaction saying we should trade Chris Don. 240 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.000 You guys are nuts. One bad possession which he created 241 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:03.840 getting a board over Rudy Gobert, we couldn't secure the basketball, 242 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.240 ended up losing it slipping on the surface. I'm wondering 243 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.039 if any players are going to talk about a slick 244 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.600 surface out there on that green court. First KPJ lost 245 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.399 it out of bounds and turned his ankle, and then 246 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.480 Chris Dunn at the end couldn't get his footing underneath him, 247 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.720 got bit by the turf monster or attacked the green monster, 248 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.759 the neon green Monster. Frustrating loss because it was right 249 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:34.200 there for the Clippers. In fact, they were in control 250 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.320 late at the four to ten mark, They're up ninety 251 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.519 to eighty seven. They scored just two points the rest 252 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.559 of the way and had three turnovers over that stretch, 253 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:53.919 not good enough one for their last six from the 254 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.279 field with three turnovers in the last four minutes and 255 00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:03.559 ten seconds in a defensive slugfest. Sure, but they had opportunities, 256 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.120 and I think part of the reason they lost was well, 257 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.000 they didn't get Big Zoo involved enough and they forget 258 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.519 about Avisa Zoobos. I know they tried to go to 259 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.200 him on that play where KPJ fell out of bounce 260 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.840 and slipped out of bounce and got hurt. He had 261 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:28.720 deep position on the block against Rudy Gobert, But how 262 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.600 does he only get up nine shots in a game 263 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.480 where he's eight for nine in thirty three minutes. He 264 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.399 looked good against Rudy Gobert. He had one of the 265 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.240 best post moves I've seen by anyone all season long. 266 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:50.000 One of their few buckets down the stretch of easta 267 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:58.559 Zoobos with a crazy shoulder fake on Rudy Gobert. I 268 00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:59.879 want to try to find the point of the game 269 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:07.039 that was at going to his right. Just ridiculous shot 270 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.000 fakes and shoulder fakes. That was near the end of 271 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.039 the third quarter when the Clippers weren't scoring. I don't 272 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.159 know how you don't get it to him more and 273 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.240 get him more involved. It has been a constant theme 274 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:27.159 that has gone on for far too long, and with 275 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.000 the way he was playing against Rudy Gobert is just inexcusable. 276 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:37.639 The Clippers had multiple opportunities, and yeah, we can talk 277 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:43.720 about Terrence Man not finishing in transition where the Clippers 278 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:50.279 had a Jordan Miller steel but a mislayup to start 279 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.639 the fourth, then a man's steal but got blocked by 280 00:15:53.720 --> 00:16:00.000 nas Reed, then Moe rejected Dante Devencenzo on the other 281 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.759 man gets it, gets blocked again in transition by nas Reed, 282 00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:09.840 nas gets an a one. Clippers were down by seven 283 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.080 seventy eight to seventy one early in the fourth in 284 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.600 that constant uphill battle that they were dealing with all night. 285 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:25.080 Those were big missed opportunities. The Dante DiVincenzo banked in 286 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:32.519 three right after Nico Buttoom tied the game. Who played 287 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:36.879 brilliantly outside of just not fouling Rudy Gobert. There at 288 00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.159 the end with two seconds left, he ties the game 289 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:50.320 and I think seventy eight after hitting multiple threes, and 290 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:52.600 Dante DiVincenzo banks in a three at the end of 291 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.799 the shop clock just a crazy wild hail Mary throw 292 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:01.000 it up. Better to be lucky than good sometimes. Shot 293 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:06.799 that was a huge one that I can't forget. After 294 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.759 it was tied, not at seventy eight, but at eighty. 295 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:12.200 All was seven forty nine left and then Dante DiVincenzo 296 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.400 hits that three. They're up eighty three to eighty, but 297 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.799 the Clippers they get down seven again. It's eighty seven 298 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:25.119 to eighty after Rudy Gobert gets an easy one. Mobama 299 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.279 then gets the oop from KPJ eighty seven to eighty two. 300 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:33.799 Clippers battling back. KPJ tough jumper on the right elbow, 301 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.960 fading away on Rudy Gobert. Eighty seven and eighty four. 302 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:44.119 Three point game, Clippers getting stop after stop. Then a 303 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:49.079 Visa Zubas gets a huge dunk with the right hand 304 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.799 after a perfect pocket pass and the pick and roll 305 00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.440 from James Harden at the four to forty six mark. 306 00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:59.559 Clippers are down by one. Then the James Harden and 307 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:01.960 one that I thought was going to be the shot 308 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.880 of the game that got them the victory, a three 309 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:07.440 point play that turned into a four point or after 310 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:12.880 he was fouled at the four to ten Mark. They 311 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.160 only scored two points the rest of the way after 312 00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:18.119 he knocked down the free throw to complete the four 313 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:26.759 point play. Just very very frustrating. Clippers offense stalled out 314 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.079 like we had seen earlier in the season during crunch time, 315 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.720 during clutch time where there now I think five and 316 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:40.519 six this year. But they had a three point lead 317 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.279 with under four minutes left and you scored two points 318 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:50.720 the rest of the way. Brutal offensive stretch. Minnesota was 319 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.839 locked in. It worked like I thought it would, Anthony 320 00:18:54.960 --> 00:19:00.240 Edwards calling them out after their loss on Wednesday, saying 321 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.319 they were soft. I knew there would be a spirited 322 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:07.759 effort from the Minnesota Timberwolves, and they played with great 323 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.519 intensity and matched the Clippers on that end, who were 324 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.519 awesome defensively. Still, it's not like Minnesota did a lot 325 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.559 of damage. They only had six points the last four minutes, 326 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.960 but four more points than the Clippers had. The Clippers 327 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.359 turned them over at will seventeen steals after they just 328 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:37.920 had eighteen against the Wizards on Wednesday. I just don't 329 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:40.279 know how you don't come through and have better offensive 330 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.960 execution down the stretch. But I think some of it 331 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:46.880 it's just not enough of the offense is being played 332 00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:54.640 through Vitza Zubas, something I've been saying forever. So let's 333 00:19:54.720 --> 00:20:00.480 go through the shot attempts for the Clippers. They had 334 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.759 that three point lead off the four point play from 335 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.759 James Harden. At the four to ten mark, it's ninety 336 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.720 to eighty seven Clippers. They get a Jade McDaniel's miss, 337 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:14.319 but then a Chris Donn turnover that would lead to 338 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.559 an Anthony Edwards dunk ninety to eighty nine. James Harden 339 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:24.640 goes for the kill shot another three step back, No, Still, 340 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.839 Clippers up by one. Aviza Zubats actually got the offensive rebound, 341 00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:32.960 tipped it back out to James, tried another three, couldn't go. 342 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.559 This seems to always be the theme when they're losing 343 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.640 these games late. They're going for tough, long three point shots. 344 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:50.960 James Harden miss floater. Clippers still up ninety to eighty 345 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:55.160 nine until Anthony Edwards hit that three to make it 346 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.920 ninety two to ninety. Chris Dunn missed an open three. 347 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:05.279 Down by two. Kevin Porters Junior now with a shooting 348 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:07.680 foul on Anthony Edwards. He misses the first hits the 349 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.799 second Clippers down by three time out. That's when Kevin 350 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:13.920 Porter Junior was trying to find if eats A Zoobots 351 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:15.759 and lost the ball out of bounds after he slipped. 352 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.960 Brutal play. 353 00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:21.160 They just. 354 00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.640 They couldn't even get their footy. Is anybody gonna talk 355 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.039 about that court? Am I out to lunch on? 356 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:33.200 That? 357 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:39.160 Is a player gonna say something? Still? Chris Dunn then 358 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:44.880 gets the steal on Anthony Edwards. Incredible play Clippers basketball. 359 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.160 James Harden misses another three pointer, so that's three he 360 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:53.200 has missed under four minutes, and a floater of eats 361 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.440 A Zubas gets the offensive rebound over go Bear and 362 00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:58.599 tips it in. The only way he can get his 363 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:02.240 offense going is by many actually it himself, apparently because 364 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:05.240 they ain't going to him. I don't know what the 365 00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:10.279 deal is there. The Clippers are down by one at 366 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:13.240 ninety three to ninety two after eats A Zubats tips 367 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:17.440 in the miss three by James Harden with fifty seconds left. Nah, 368 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:21.200 miss is a three pointer, and there's the rebound that 369 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.839 we thought Chris Dunn was going to have, but he 370 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:28.400 couldn't secure it. He went over Rudy Gobert to tip 371 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.519 it to himself, but he lost the ball slipping to 372 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:36.480 the floor. It's a damn slipping slide out there, crocodile mile. 373 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:39.799 I don't know what it was. What twenty six seconds left, 374 00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:46.599 Mike Conley comes up with it. Clippers don't foul, They're 375 00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:49.400 trying to get the ball back. Believe they had a 376 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.920 time out. They just need a defensive stop. There was 377 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.319 a three second difference between the game clock and the 378 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:01.440 shot clock, meaning when Mike Conley got the ball seconds left. 379 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.400 Eventually there was a three second difference, so the Clippers 380 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:10.759 were gambling a little bit, thinking they could get the 381 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.920 stop and get the board, get a time out, and 382 00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:17.960 have two seconds at least left to get a shot 383 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.480 off on the other end to win the game. Down 384 00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:26.440 by one. Well, after Mike Conley missed a three pointer 385 00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.640 with four seconds left, there was an opportunity there as 386 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.000 Anthony Edwards tried to tip it in so you couldn't 387 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.160 really foul him in time. But then the ball went 388 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:39.640 into Rudy Gobert's hands with two seconds left, and Niko 389 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:44.799 patombs right there but didn't foul his fellow Frenchman to 390 00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.359 put Rudy Gobert a bad free throw shooter at the 391 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:52.559 line down one with two seconds left. That's the missed 392 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:54.440 opportunity to me. I mean, there were a lot of 393 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:56.279 things that went against the Clippers, don't get me wrong, 394 00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:01.599 some things that were miscues on their end and self 395 00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:06.359 inflicted wounds. But they had an opportunity still to foul 396 00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:08.160 the guy you would want to send to the free 397 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:11.759 throw line with two seconds left in Regobert, and they 398 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.599 just didn't do it. I don't know what they were 399 00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:19.480 looking at. Nico was right there. I just rewatched the play. Guys. 400 00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:22.359 The people saying Chris Dunn should have given it to 401 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.640
