00:33and we also want to welcome in our 2k insider shams charania thanks for taking time to join us
00:40shams yeah are you kidding me i wouldn't miss this my guy rj is in the house yeah we're excited to
00:45have you big fella you guys got the best seats in the house i'm just glad i can occupy for at least
00:51a second and we'll stay in this seat as long as you would like we got the best seats shams has the
00:56has been told we're covered let's go and checking out some numbers for kawaii leonard and over the
01:03last five games his field goal percentage has increased and you can make a case his confidence
01:08as well because of this now the starting group for the visitors they've got peyton watson also
01:16andre drummond out there torian prince is out there with keon ellis and it's gillespie in at the one
01:22and for los angeles hawaii and collins are the forwards harden and bogdanovich are the guards
01:28and it's lopez in at the five
01:30and so off the tip it's los angeles
01:40yes and a nice assist from harden and using that size to his advantage i like it when lopez
01:49establishes himself inside and looks to capitalize the shot by drummond no good
01:56bogdanovich from long range nails it from beyond the arc defensively you have to stay connected to
02:06him on the perimeter gillespie passes to prince now here's ellis
02:11here's gillespie back to prince
02:16and there's the slam dunk to finish it off
02:21great job on the back end of the play yep finished with both hands making sure of it
02:27outside bogdanovich
02:30nice ball movement by los angeles
02:34glennard good and he's a selective three-point shooter
02:38kawaii only takes them if he feels he has a good look
02:42and almost all of the lottery picks in this year's draft coming out of college
02:46choms what's changed over the years
02:48yeah these players in college are making so much money in some ways
02:52players that are going back to school at times are making just as much if not more money than they
02:58would if they're being drafted so the nil money at play is the biggest story players no longer have
03:04to necessarily sacrifice their earnings they can get the exposure they can get the college experience
03:08the big tournament also they can get the big bag the nice pocket change as well so whether you stay
03:14in college or go to the nba draft whether you want to stay abroad but in most cases enter college
03:19basketball there's a lot of money there in nil games popular as ever
03:23and they've been producing at a high level no question they're in a nice rhythm offensive
03:30love to see him inside passing like this as well as guys being on the same page
03:36los angeles has gone two for three from outside the arc
03:40leonard against prince and a nice finish on the layup
03:46leonard's got five points they've hit four of their first five shots great execution and attention
03:53to detail pass to gillespie it's prince on the wing outside watson and here's drummond ellis outside
04:02outside watson six on the shot clock good he hits the jumper that's why you keep your head up
04:09if the assist is there you can pounce
04:12here's harden and down it goes two points
04:18figuring out ways to score that is james hard specialty the beard can hurt you inside and out
04:25and chums you're always ready to break a story is there ever a chance for you to unplug
04:30late summer is when things are quietest that mid-august through september labor day window that's usually the best
04:36moment to get off the grid but ba you never know in today's nba when things could happen and that
04:42could be in the summer too and you're always ready i'd know that about you you're a workhorse
04:46now here's harden a reliable offensive contributor putting up almost 14 a game
04:53and the basket by leonard yeah kawai a master of the mid-range for most it's not efficient but for him
05:00it's cash money here's gillespie six points for him
05:05prince the pass to watson over collins nice form on the 20-footer and you know coach loves seeing his
05:15office operate at this level great passing out there no good with the triple got seven of eight in the
05:23basket gives us a chance to catch up with ali la force thank you guys the clippers last season
05:29inaugurating the intuit dome after for years sharing an arena with the lakers
05:33hawaii leonard said it helps having a home base for you rather than being a roommate coach tyron
05:39lew said it feels so good to have a place to call your own and just call home back to you brian
05:44and looking to protect it all right thank you ali for los angeles they've gone six of nine and finding
05:51their rhythm now here's leonard oh he gets it to go so far he can't miss he's four for four
05:58oh keep beating him this man's on fire leonard's got everything to drop so far shooting four of four
06:05and with the new cba shams powerhouse teams faced with tough choices on their rosters that's the one
06:11part about the cba it's becoming difficult to keep everyone in the fold it's perhaps made dynasties
06:18less feasible in the modern era and we've already seen unprecedented amount of parity in today's nba
06:24well one thing's for sure you better develop your younger players as well and on that note ba there's
06:30no better place to look at the local industry look the defense was locked in on him there they know how
06:36dangerous he can be and they guarded him perfectly mogdanovich is gone one of three shooting so far
06:42here's ellis he's now one for two with that bucket their offense is really humming right now and it's
06:50because of the beautiful ball distribution and so tylu calls a timeout he'll take the opportunity to
06:56and it's a completely new group for the clippers now that we have a chance let's check out the teams
07:08that are scoring the most points off turnovers fifth on the list los angeles this is a squad that
07:14will tax you for any mistake or loose ball they know how to snatch the rock and run flat out to make
07:20sure they capitalize the teardrop and that one dropped for him fantastic touch like a little rainbow from
07:29paul got eight of 13 attempts to go on the wing achimura to the paint here's drummond bearing his second
07:38of three attempts good execution they're getting some short-range looks here there's a minute 59
07:45left to play in the first quarter
07:46beal surveying the d knocks down the triple it's the confidence of beal he lets it fly from range when
07:57he really likes the look drummond passes to gillespie and here's mitchell the three from prince
08:05it doesn't go for him
08:07outside call
08:11pass to beal
08:12we've got 123 left in the first and that one good good work from beal he gets inside and finishes the
08:24play
08:24gone 0 for 2 from outside here's drummond
08:28it's rebounded by los angeles
08:30and they dominated this team last season big difference in talent level
08:35count the basket
08:37and now it's a seven point clipper lead getting out to a nice lead great flow and great execution
08:43pass to prince
08:45now here's achimura back to prince here's achimura defended by jones
08:50that one's good from achimura on the assist from prince
08:54over the last few years achimura has gotten more comfortable in these catch and shoot situations
08:59he'll beal the pass to batum
09:04jones with the ball working on achimura jones misses
09:11gone one for three from beyond the arc
09:15drummond finds mitchell seven second difference between the shot clock and the game clock
09:19oh a little luck that time as it drops and now just a two point clipper lead
09:25he's someone opposing defenses have a hard time game planning for
09:29deal with it he's got five
09:35and he drops in the layup off the glass
09:43fields got his third bucket of the night
09:45they're punishing those late defensive rotations
09:48getting good looks inside throughout the half
09:51and so it's kawaii leonard making highlights for the clippers
09:54hunting for opportunities leading to nine points in the quarter
09:58we'll be right back after this word
10:01and we hope you're enjoying the game
10:15both teams tonight keeping things pretty even on the scoreboard so far
10:19and a moment now to quickly take a look at the offensive approach for los angeles
10:23they've really been dialed in from deep this is a team that has a ton of confidence in their outside shooting ability
10:29and of course taking it inside always a great game plan
10:33and i'm curious if there'll be an adjustment from the defensive end
10:37maybe sag off some shooters a little
10:39chris paul out there with james harden
10:41then there's bradley beal then there's nicholas batum
10:44and it's jones in at the center filling out the middle
10:47that's the group for the clippers starting the second
10:50los angeles has gotten three of their seven threes to find the net in this matchup
10:55harden can't hit
10:57harden's gone one for three from the field here
11:00achimura from long range
11:03he buries it from three
11:05achimura's got eight points
11:07more of an inside the arc guy
11:09achimura can be dangerous from range
11:12achimura against batum
11:17to the wing on the left
11:20call for three
11:21achimura with a rebound
11:23it's a close game here in la
11:25that'll be the first leg of just a two-game trip for them
11:28pass to larson
11:30here's james
11:32perfect night so far two for two
11:35i like the intention
11:36the focus finding a way to make it work inside
11:40beal outside
11:44and once again off the mark by los angeles
11:48gone three of three to begin the second
11:51here's holmes
11:52always a nice way to start
11:54makes his first one
11:55their ball movement on this run has been tremendous
11:58it's led to a lot of good clean open looks
12:01paul looking it over
12:06looking to win the run
12:10and he makes it
12:11nine points for bradley beal
12:13nice work there from beal in the mid-range
12:16and the visitors call time here
12:18brown he's checked in for los angeles
12:33gotten off to a perfect four for four start of the second
12:49watson passes to achimura
12:51over jones
12:53now ellis
12:55mitchell up top
12:57shoots over hardin
12:59mitchell misses
13:01usually he's a master in the middie
13:04but not that time
13:05and then hardin with the jam
13:07look at those handles
13:09look at james hardin getting crafty with the ball
13:11mixing up the defender
13:12mitchell the pass to ellis
13:15that one falls
13:17nice setup by mitchell
13:18ellis has got his second bucket on the night
13:21nice ball movement there
13:23delivered the pass right on time
13:25harden into the lane
13:27uses the glass on the layup
13:30as dangerous a penetrator there is
13:32hardin's understanding for when to knife inside is ridiculous
13:37outside watson
13:39achimura against jones
13:44here's gillespie
13:45and it comes off the front of the rim
13:48clippers trail by three
13:49here's beal
13:53watson with a rebound
13:55right at the defensive effort there
13:57not giving him room to operate
13:59achimura
14:00and it's slammed in by achimura
14:03oh what a finish
14:06rury showing off that athletic ability
14:08thanks to the at&t connected cam
14:10for the up close and personal view of that slam
14:12and in the second quarter a little under three and a half minutes played already
14:20knocks down the long cave
14:23pick works well there
14:24but the defense left a lot to be desired
14:27yeah that just comes down to a lack of effort
14:29the defender has to do a better job
14:31fighting through the screen
14:32here's gillespie
14:34six points for him
14:35that one drops for him
14:37gillespie's got eight
14:38you want to know why they're winning
14:40it's because of his play offensively
14:42and so ty lu calls a timeout
14:44he might have seen something he needs to review with his guys
14:47and los angeles will go for a different look here
15:03lopez he's checked in for jones
15:06john collins comes in for brown
15:08leonard's checked in for bradley beal
15:10and it's bogdan bogdanovich in for paul
15:13here's harden
15:19six points for him
15:21three-pointer
15:27drummond grabs the miss
15:30gotten seven of their first nine shots to drop during the second
15:34count that bucket
15:36natchimura's got seven points here in the quarter
15:38there are so many ways natchimura gets the job done
15:43bogdanovich passes to lopez
15:46harden scanning the floor
15:52shot from the mid-range
15:53drummond grabs the miss
15:55and unlike some other guys
15:57missing a wide open look won't hurt his confidence at all
16:00good on the bucket
16:01drummond's got his third basket on the night right there
16:05i'll tell you i wouldn't want to draw drummond as my assignment inside
16:09you body him up
16:10it still has no effect on you
16:13his playmaking is something to watch
16:16threading that pass right in there
16:18ellis on the wing
16:21back to watson
16:24pass to gillespie
16:27and that one goes he's now recorded his fifth bucket and eight tries
16:34they've been the more poised team tonight and the score reflects that
16:38and it's because they're not playing in a rush
16:40they're just letting their shots come naturally within the flow of the offense
16:43back to harden
16:44takes the three
16:46drummond grabs the miss
16:47he's been off this whole period
16:50unable to sustain any kind of consistency
16:53pass to watson
16:54and he was fouled while in the act of shooting
17:01so he'll take two free throws
17:03they'll pin that one on john collins
17:06and the visitors call time here
17:08field he's checked in for harden
17:24well when it comes to shooting from beyond the arc
17:27these are the league leaders
17:28you look at prince
17:30he is downright lethal from distance
17:32ranking first in the league in three-point percentage
17:35he's a shooter that defenses 100% have to go out and guard
17:39and he can't get the first one
17:46he hits the second from the line
17:56here's leonard
17:58he's got nine
18:00and keeping us updated from the sideline
18:03alley la force
18:04thanks john collins grew up playing soccer goaltender
18:07he said quote
18:09i've always had good hands
18:10but goaltending helped my reaction time
18:12being able to track the ball at fast speeds
18:14it's an important thing for guards to trust the big fella
18:16that you can catch and finish
18:18back over to uba

19:02on the road
19:04they got owned defensively
19:06they just couldn't match the activity level of their opponent

21:10things are going well
21:11and swerving off topic for a moment
21:14since this is the halftime show
21:17i was just wondering
21:18what was halftime like in the locker room
21:21back when you guys were playing
21:22i would never be checking my stats
21:25and figure out if i'm close to a double-double
21:27that's something i would never do
21:29yeah he was trying to figure out if he's close to
21:31the double-double
21:32he didn't know if it was rebounds and points already
21:34or a cheeseburger
21:35i'm talking about the cheeseburger
21:37what are you talking about kitty
21:38turning back now to that game we've been watching
21:42a positive first half
21:44for the visiting team
21:46the difference in field goal percentage is crazy
21:49they're getting exactly what they want out there
21:51yeah even if adjustments are made
21:53how does that defense really slow them down
21:56thanks for tuning in
22:01now it's time to head back over to brian anderson
22:04for the start of the third quarter
22:06well for those just tuning in
22:22thanks for being with us
22:23second half of this game still to play
22:25how about bradley deal
22:27having a dominant impact in this game
22:29you just love his patience offensively in the first half
22:32waited until he got the looks he wanted
22:35you love guys who can get their shot
22:37within the flow of the offense
22:39and one key for quality teams in this league
22:50beating the opponents you're supposed to beat
22:52what goes into that grant
22:54well b.a they call them trap games
22:56an opponent that on paper isn't up to your level
22:59especially when they're missing key guys
23:02the thing is can you find that juice
23:05to take care of business
23:06they've got andre drummond
23:07torian prince is out there with peyton watson
23:10then there's keon ellis
23:11and it's gillespie
23:12in at the point
23:13outside harden
23:16puts up a three
23:17knocks it down from distance
23:19harden's got nine
23:21great shooting reflexes from harden
23:23able to put his shot up
23:24right off that pass
23:26pass to drummond
23:27driving to the basket
23:28and the jam by drummond
23:30and after putting it down
23:33he dangles from the rim a little
23:35man that's borderline taunting right there grant
23:38they're playing with a certain swagger right now
23:40now here's leonard
23:41he's got 11
23:43now lopez
23:44drummond defending
23:45and it goes out of bounds
23:47last touch by leonard
23:49and for those tuning in
24:00we're about a minute into this second half
24:02drummond passes to watson
24:04over collins
24:09a nice shot by watson
24:11seven points in the game
24:12something lit a fire under them at the half
24:15they started this quarter going three for three from the floor
24:18now harden
24:22nine points in the game
24:24oh and another three for the clippers
24:27this defense is getting spaced out
24:30three of the last five buckets have come from way beyond the arc
24:33and in the big market of los angeles
24:35with a sparkling new arena
24:37grant the clippers are confident
24:39they'll be able to attract star talent
24:40well the expectation is
24:42they'll continue to compete with harden and kawai
24:45and then in a few years
24:46perhaps time to make some big moves
24:49now here's harden
24:5012 points for him
24:53and then it's collins with the dunk
24:54a tremendous athlete
24:56collins showing his quickness to the ball
24:58and taking advantage of the second chance opportunity
25:01and the visitors call time here
25:04and with this boss let's take a look at the teams that have generated the most
25:15offense on the break this season
25:17any chance this team gets to run
25:19they take
25:20a quick athletic team on the break
25:22two minutes into the second half of play now
25:30gillespie passes to watson
25:33and the shot counts
25:36he's fouled
25:38and it's a chance for a three-point play
25:40richard the league taking some steps to prevent flopping
25:44what's the criteria for what crosses the line
25:47it's called stim
25:49it's an acronym for secondary theatrical exaggerated movements
25:53yes that's a real term
25:54it's kind of a limited definition
25:56and it basically says
25:58don't be an idiot
25:59shot by leonard
26:01no good
26:01they've had a slight leg up on the boards
26:04and a big leg up on the scoreboard
26:06outside watson
26:10that one's in there
26:12drummond with the assist
26:13drummond's got his fourth assist with that last one
26:16since half
26:18there's been a stark contrast between these teams
26:20i'm talking about efficiency at the offensive end
26:23and start with their defense
26:25they've been intense on that end
26:26and they can actually help their offense as well
26:29now here's watson
26:3012-point lead
26:32their biggest of the game
26:33drummond with the ball
26:34now bugdanovich defending
26:36lets it go
26:38drained it for two points
26:40prince has got six
26:42he drops yet another dive
26:45just facilitating this offense
26:47like a maestro
26:48leonard for three
26:50and that three is knocked down by kawhi
26:54he's really carrying the load
26:56but no man can do it all by himself
26:58ellis outside
26:59tries a ten footer
27:01and the shot is good
27:03off the backboard
27:04he's got nine
27:05that's three buckets in a row
27:07off assist
27:08outside bogdanovich
27:11in the third quarter
27:16with just over three and a half minutes
27:18off the clock
27:18oh and he got fouled on his way up
27:20he'll head to the line to shoot two
27:22it goes on peyton watson
27:24and credit to bogdanovich
27:26for not giving up there
27:27he gets a shot off
27:29and wins a foul for his trouble
27:30it's his first trip to the line
27:32the first free throw is good
27:34and so bogdanovich
27:46nails them both
27:47for a star like him
27:49you get lots of opportunities
27:50at the line
27:51and he's great at cashing them in
27:53drummond passes to ellis
27:56can't cash it in
27:57from close range
27:58and so it's bogdanovich
28:00with it
28:01he brings it up for the clippers
28:02harden from outside
28:04drummond grabs the miss
28:05drummond's got seven rebounds in the game
28:09well grand you look at james harden's
28:11capacity to generate offense
28:12he is still at an elite level
28:14yeah a virtuoso with the rock
28:17even as he slows down
28:18his ability to change pace
28:20keeps defenders off balance
28:22and creates for himself and others
28:25it's just a thing tomorrow
28:26dynamic finish
28:28then decides to hang out a little
28:31for good measure
28:32yep
28:33that's the exclamation point right there
28:35and the visitors call time here
28:37Mitchell's checking for Gillespie
28:42the visitors with the ball
28:58they've got a nine point lead
29:00and following this one
29:01they'll take on the hawks in atlanta
29:03that'll be their second of three games total on this road trip
29:06and that's a low percentage shot
29:08and i'm sure he knows it
29:09and those are the type of shots that just drive coaches crazy
29:12look i wouldn't be shocked to see him sitting on the bench if he tries that bad boy again
29:16here's prince
29:18six points for him
29:19and he gets it to go
29:21their success from mid-range has really set them apart today
29:25los angeles has gotten three of six threes to fall in the third quarter
29:29here's harden
29:31and it's out of bounds
29:32they say it was last touch by harden
29:35but those are the turnovers that have coaches pulling their hair out
29:39why do you think i'm balling
29:41some changes for los angeles
29:43jones comes in for lopez
29:45and it's bradley beal in for bogdanovich
29:47it's watson on the wing
29:52pass to drummond
29:5320 feet out
29:56leonard pulls down the board
29:58clippers trail by 11
30:00outside harden
30:02from outside the arc
30:03offensive rebound
30:05kicks it out to collins
30:06beal from outside
30:08that one falls
30:108 of 10
30:11and scoring with confidence
30:12lackluster defense
30:14showing no desire to chase shooters off that line
30:17ellis passes to prince
30:19collins with the defensive effort
30:22nice contest
30:23a high level of energy
30:25that's how you play defense
30:27that's good
30:28from jones
30:29and the assist by leonard
30:31jones has got his first basket
30:33and it's not always leonard's forte
30:35but he's really developed a solid passing game
30:38mitchell the pass to drummond
30:39shoots over collins
30:41collins with the rebound
30:42collins has got five rebounds tonight
30:45beal finds collins
30:49jones from outside
30:51the shot misses
30:53he's gone three of six from deep so far
30:56here's prince
30:57and there it is for him
31:00prince has got eight points here in the quarter
31:02that was a disgusting first half he turned in
31:06but it's been night and day for him after the break
31:08harden can't hit
31:11the defense just giving him the easy look there
31:14he's not gonna miss that
31:16good
31:17and that makes him six for nine
31:19a quality game for him so far
31:21and trust me
31:22when the d's slow to react
31:23he'll be the first guy to make them pay
31:25yeah they're gonna do a much better job
31:27of putting a little bit of pressure on him
31:29on his way to the hoop
31:30and so ty lu calls a timeout
31:32he's gonna take a minute to regroup with his players
31:35for the clippers
31:36the toons checked in for collins
31:38dunn comes in for kawaii leonard
31:40and it's paul in for harden
31:42clippers trail by ten
31:49outside paul

32:08here's beale
32:12yes
32:13and it's paul with the assist that time
32:15beale's got 22 points
32:17not shocking to see beale running up the scoreboard
32:21he has a knack for putting together some big nights
32:23james passes to mitchell
32:26sinks that one from the post
32:29taking it right at the rack
32:31i mean
32:31that defense is looking real frustrated
32:35that's the kind of aggression you want to see
32:37when you've got a team on the ropes
32:38now here's paul
32:40right now averaging five and a half a game
32:43from deep
32:45no good
32:47now eight seconds separating the two clocks
32:51achimura left side
32:53the three is up
32:55batun pulls it in
32:57clippers trail by ten
32:59beale outside
33:04goes up with the stripe
33:07batun gets the bucket
33:10stayed with it
33:11and his effort is rewarded with the second chance bucket
33:14here's mitchell
33:17and the shot's good
33:20mitchell's gotten four this quarter
33:22and just not letting up at all
33:25i mean you have to love this approach
33:27you want to get the ball to the guys who make plays
33:30this is when good players really get after it
33:33he can sense that they're reeling
33:34and he's gonna put his foot on the pedal
33:37and here at the end of the third
33:38it's a double digit ball game
33:40up by ten
33:42don't go anywhere
33:43the final quarter is coming up next
33:46on 2k sports
33:47and a worthy candidate tonight
33:54as we take a look at our state farm assist of the game
33:57this is the definition of team chemistry
34:00i love to see this kind of communication and connection between teammates
34:05leading to the perfect pass
34:07serving it up on a platter
34:08that is a beautiful dish
34:10and two teammates on the same page
34:12fourth quarter action is upon us

34:24and it's paul in at the point guard position
34:26so that's the lineup on the floor for the clippers
34:29he's been playing great unselfish basketball
34:32really putting the rock in the hands of the right shooters
34:35his court vision has been on display in this one
34:38he's doing a tremendous job
34:40just orchestrating the offense beautifully
34:43this has been the story of the game
34:45a battle fought on offense
34:47yeah but i think it's gonna come down to
34:49who can get the stops down the stretch
34:51because that's who's gonna come away with this one
34:53no good off the glass
34:56shooting an efficient 64%
34:59excellent
35:00pass to gillespie
35:04and he converts the layup
35:08despite the height disadvantage
35:11oh my
35:12he just attacks that interior
35:14really unfazed
35:15throw his height right out the window
35:17now here's beale
35:19well placed jumper from the free throw line
35:22beale's got 26
35:24that play shows why it's so hard to stop beale
35:28his pull up is money
35:30james finds mitchell
35:32here's gillespie
35:34the three
35:35counted
35:36now eight for 13 with that basket
35:38that man is laser focused
35:42now that's bad defense for a team
35:44that has a long way to go to catch up
35:46effort like this makes you wonder
35:48if they've already packed it in for the game
35:49ready to go on to the next

36:22and los angeles making a change here

37:53and count that
37:54two points
37:55and a chance for one more at the line
37:57defensively
37:59they've got to get more bodies in the paint
38:02that's three straight field goals from below the free throw line
38:04some changes for los angeles
38:06john collins checked in for beale
38:08and bogdanovich is subbed in for chris paul
38:11a reliable role player
38:17achimura's versatility
38:19especially scoring wise
38:20is what makes him so valuable
38:22leonard outside
38:24back to bogdanovich
38:27no good from outside
38:30i think he's gone completely dry
38:32nothing is hitting
38:34yeah and the risk now is that he gets inside his own head
38:37time to take deep breaths
38:39in through the nose
38:40out through the mouth
38:41and let the game come to you
38:43harden good
38:45a master at working through contact

38:51mitchell the pass to gillespie
38:54achimura left side
38:56this james on the wing
38:57pass to gillespie
39:00shoots over harden

39:18los angeles has gone 0 for 3
39:22here on the fourth
39:23oh swiped away
39:26here's achimura
39:30and it's slammed in by achimura
39:33adding insult to injury
39:35with the dunk off the steal
39:37nice to see a good play on d
39:39that led to some fireworks
39:41once he poked it away
39:43you knew what was on his mind
39:44shot by leonard
39:46no good

39:59bogdanovich
40:01yes sir

40:07because he can torch you with the pull up jay
40:09and the visitors call time here
40:21and with this brief pause
40:23let's take a look at our player of the game
40:25the incredible display of shooting
40:27just absolutely pure out there tonight
40:30i mean really able to maintain a high percentage
40:33by picking and choosing solid shots
40:35all while outsmarting and outworking the defense
40:38well after losing a couple in a row
40:40it's always great to see someone like him
40:43up the ante like this
40:44he was the main reason why they got this victory
40:47gotten 7 of 12 shots to drop in this fourth quarter
40:58yes sir
41:06count it
41:07they're not messing around
41:09five of their last six buckets
41:11have come from the interior
41:12and hardin's got the ball here for the clippers
41:15it's an 18 point game
41:17leonard fires
41:21that misses
41:22going one of two from deep in this quarter
41:28here's gillespie
41:32defended by harden
41:33and he gets that one
41:35gillespie's got nine points now in the second half
41:38and it only makes sense to give him the rock again
41:41he put the team on his back all game
41:43yeah just keep feeding him
41:46that guy is a man on a mission
41:48and the defense
41:49well they don't have much of an answer
41:51now here's leonard
41:52count it
41:54look at what he's doing here
41:56and it's hard to imagine him playing much better
41:59there's a minute 40 left to play in the fourth quarter of this one
42:07outside watson
42:14clock at six
42:15ellis outside
42:20collins rips down the board
42:23decent look from mid-range
42:25you almost have to take that shot to keep the defense honest
42:28that one goes
42:29yes sir
42:30and his fantastic performance from the last game
42:33has carried over to tonight
42:35he's just riding the wave of momentum right now
42:38getting to his spots
42:39and keeping things simple on the offensive side
42:42now here's ellis
42:43outside watson
42:48releases
42:54bogdanovich there for the rebound
42:57for three
