Diabate is looking good with the Hornets. He has all 6 of their points- a drive past Zu, and 2 tip ins.
Dunn way off thus far- both open 3's are airballs
Well, at least that third one hit rim
Clips just 1 for 10 from deep thus far, but only down 3
Hey Lopez hits the 3, and the Clips go back up 19-18. He doing a fake pass before the shot seemed to help?
Harden driving layup to end the first, Clips down 25-24. The 3 point shooting really has to sharpen up or this could be a long night.
Kawhi just so good with stopping on a dime and hitting that little J
Can't be allowing that- letting a 3 point shooter just dribble all the way in for a dunk
Wow- the Clips are 2 of 16 from deep. Sanders though hits that bingo, ties it at 30.
Oh yes- Collins from the corner has been crazy good lately
Best sequence for the Clips thus far- Batum the deflection, and now Harden the perfect dish back to Nico for the bingo!
Nico another big bingo, and somehow the Clippers lead 45-43 at the half, despite shooting 32%. That's because the Hornets are only hitting 39% themselves, and even worse from deep at 3 for 18.
Kawhi heating up big time in the 3rd! Calling bingos whereas those were short in the first half
The Klaw, again from deep- that's *19 in the first 6 minutes of the 3rd. But Ball is keeping them in it with some 3's as well.
Lol Harden with a pair of clever moves inside on the break
Now Ball chucks in a 28 footer, and the Clipper lead is down to 3
It's a crazy shootout in the 3rd- both teams lights out from deep
Jordan Miller what a move to beat the 3rd Q buzzer, spinning it in with the left after the drop step. Clips though only up 86-84
Another key 3 by Lopez, his third, ties it at 89.
Lamelo Ball isn't as quick as I thought he was. Without crazy dribbling combos, timing, reading defenders, and a great first step...
...I'm not seeing anything but a super tall Combo Guard with the green light to do whatever he wants on the court...
Miller the bingo, now flashes through the middle for the slam! Good pass by the Klaw
Miller time- another bingo to put the Clips back up 2
The Beard launching and landing upper cuts, double bingo!
Harden pokes it away, lays it in on the break! Now Miller to the cutting Sanders- slaaaaaaaaaaaammmmm dunk! Clips in control now 112-101, but still 4 1/2 minutes to go.
Lopez has played over Zu in the second half. He has been really good protecting the rim, just daring the Hornets to try and challenge him
Big time rebound by Collins, and Miller applies the final nail in the Hornets coffin! Really good second half as guys woke up, lead by Kawhi and then later by Harden. Jordan Miller with another great performance- the only other Clipper to be in double digits. Lopez and Batum with good games as well.
Clips somehow come back and shoot 37% from deep after starting 1 of 10.
Congrats to the Beard for passing Shaq to reach #9 on the all time scoring list! Those 2 B2B 3's he hit were gigantic to help the Clips pull away.
JMill played a great game tonight. That was exciting, and Kobe Sanders continues to build. I look forward to Cam earning his spot.
