LOVED having Bibby on Night Chat!
“Their defense jumped out at me. Kawhi and Harden were seeing 2 or 3 guys everytime.
You very rarely see them pick up their dribble when they get trapped or double teamed, and they were picking up the ball everytime.”

– 30th Knicks (122.5)

Kawhi Leonard is 7/11 on FGs inside the paint
But he has missed all six of his shots outside the paint — 0/3 midrange, 0/3 3s
Kings have a 108-98 lead with 5:49 left to play. They have outscored Clippers by 5 points since the first Kings possession after Fox’s tech pic.twitter.com/pjeBR5yc08 – 11:46 PM

Keegan Murray told Mike Brown to challenge and Brown got on the court twirling, but not in time
Clippers might have caught a break there, and Kawhi got a bucket instead of a turnover – 11:09 PM

Kings lead 41-37 with 6:52 left in 1st half at LA
Offense without Kawhi (and Zu) looking rocky. Just no interior presence when you have PJ/Theis on floor together, though Theis had a nice putback after Harden had a near Wesley Johnson 2.0 on Chris Duarte
0 LAC assists in 2nd q. – 10:24 PM

James Harden drew a Kevin Huerter 3-shot foul, and he will have an opportunity to tie the game at 16 after this mandatory timeout with 6:25 left in 1st quarter
Kawhi Leonard missed his first 3 shots and had a pass stolen to start this game. Kings also have 4 offensive rebounds. – 9:53 PM

Last 3 of last 4 Clippers games:
– Kawhi out at GS ➡️ Brandon Boston Jr. in rotation
– Norm out at MEM ➡️ PJ Tucker in rotation
– PG out tonight vs SAC ➡️ Norman Powell first start this season
T Lue says he wants to experiment.
Maybe we get a Bones sighting too? pic.twitter.com/kD3uwxBN9M – 8:48 PM

More on this storyline
Ohm Youngmisuk: Kawhi Leonard says he feels like the Clippers are competing “but are a step behind.” He says he’s concerned about getting down by 15 to Sacramento and getting blitzed in OKC in second half. He says Clippers are a little flat at the moment. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / February 26, 2024
Ohm Youngmisuk: On losing the tiebreaker to OKC, Kawhi Leonard said, “We want to make sure that we are for sure top six and that we’re trying to do the best we can every night. No matter if we’re the number one seed or the six seed, we got to get better. That’s the goal. That’s the agenda.” -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / February 23, 2024
Law Murray: Tyronn Lue confirms that Kawhi Leonard is set for his usual complement of minutes tonight at Oklahoma City -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / February 22, 2024
