The game is over, Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame reaction has just begune Kawhi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. This is Clippers Locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look ahead on your hope for LA Clippers basketball. And now your host, you, sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. How about one late Christmas miracle Clippers down by fourteen with under three minutes left and they go on to win by eleven in overtime in Detroit over the Pistons. Final score one forty two
Clippers Detroit, one thirty one. Welcome into your postgame show. Coming up, you'll hear from the head coach and the players. After this one, we'll get the second half highlights. But while we have a moment, let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on the Los Angeles Clippers Radio network, this is LA Clippers Basketball AM five seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight
seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeart Radio station. No correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we just saw twenty point twenty nine point turnaround from the Pistons lead to a twenty five point turnaround from the Clippers late to get the victory. You would be correct at him. And how about Paul George just recognizing the moment, taking over when they need him the most. In overtime, he scored or assisted on everything but the final field goal.
That's what that's what he does. When you need him the most, you go to a superstar, right and he had thirty two points, eleven assists, and four rebounds in this game. He got to the free throw line at will twelve or fourteen nine of nineteen overall, only nineteen shots to get thirty two points is impressive stuff in thirty eight minutes. I thought two way. He had that pass that he gave away and then he got it right back from Killy and Hayes for the easy slam. I thought he was great
down the stretch. And obviously we just talked to Terrence Man. They don't win this game without what team man. I'm Air Coffee and Moses Brown do at the end of that fourth quarter, and that's what Terrence does. It feels like every time he's in the game. That's why I think a lot of fans are clamoring for him to get more action, and I would assume
that after tonight that will become a reality. So I joked on Twitter not sure if coach lew was pulling the starters because he's waving the white flagg er. He just doesn't like what he's seeing out there and wants some new energy. It turned out to be that apparently. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if that was the initial thought process. But what we've learned with this team, and it's one of the best lessons that any team can give,
is that you never give up on a game. And I probably should have learned that lesson a little bit better because I didn't see them coming back in this one. It just didn't feel that way. It just didn't have the feel of a comeback Clips game. Usually the comeback Clips games happened with a lot more time on the clock and you can start to see it developing, similar to what happened against them on Friday in Philly, it just you can see it the makings of it. This one, you couldn't see it.
It just kind of happened, and it was happening very fast down the stretch. So this wasn't your typical comeback Clips game. But with that being said, what we learned is you can't give up on a game. And Toronto lou I don't think gave up on this game. He said, all right, you know what, we got three however many minutes left, it was three minutes actually exactly said, let's get these guys in there, see
if they can pride us a spark. And then they did. They provided a spark, got a couple of turnovers, a couple of three balls, just did exactly what they needed to do and more than anything. And this goes back to the whole adage that we have. Sometimes a dunk is more than a dunk, and steal is more than a steal, a block is more than a block, or a three is more than a three. Sometimes
a win is more than just a win. And this could be one of those that they build on, similar to that Atlanta game where the Clippers have been struggling. Two years ago. Before that Atlanta game, the Hawks were the hottest team in the NBA. I think they had won eight in a row at that point, and Trey Young was playing the best basketball of his young career. They were starting to find that groove under Nate McMillan. And
yet the Clippers got that win. It sparked something for the rest of the season into the postseason, and that's the hope of the game like today, can you spark something heading down the stretch for the rest of the year. Well, and no, you were asking for it all game long. Whence the defense gonna show up? I mean they gave up thirty six points in that first quarter. Well, I guess over the last eight minutes of the game going into over, I'm a thirty to five run. They locked in
and that's it. But that's the recipe for success for this team, especially when they're playing offensively the way they did today. Look at the numbers, fifty four percent from the floor nineteen to forty four, forty three percent from three, They get twenty nine free through attempts, and they end this game with a flory of assists to get them to twenty four on the night. Offensively, I thought they look great pretty much all night long. Defensively was
their problem and turnovers. They gave up nineteen turnovers. The difference today they ended up turning over the Detroit Pistons eighteen times. So you even it out a little bit by your stout defense and down the streats. That's exactly what happened for the Clippers tonight. The Clippers pull off the impossible down fourteen with under three minutes left. They go on to win in overtime one forty two to one thirty one in Detroit over the Pistons. You know what, on
a game they win like this. The other best part of the NBA is they got another one tomorrow and I'm excited for it at a home it look in the heat. Look they should have Kawhi Leonard back. We're all expecting that. They're going to Toronto where he won a championship. Tip time is at four thirty. Clippers and Raptors. We got your pregame show starting at three thirty. No, I can't wait. You're just jumping the gun at him. You have to say it right, can't wait? Can't wait?
Clippers come back down fourteen? Win an ote? What a call? We got it for your next there's no an eagle on it. How how sway Clippers find a way? You're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers radio network. Oh, Paul George La Clippers Basketball continue sen his fains as he carries the three on the home of your La Clippers. I mean, look, when you come back down fourteen with three minutes left, Yeah, we might have to do it acapella for a little bit. Clippers find a way. They
win one forty two to one thirty one in Detroit over the Pistons. They pull off what looked like the impossible. They win in overtime, just an unbelievable hashtag comeback Clips effort. They do it again against all odds. Welcome into your post game show. I'm Adam Oslin, coming up on m five seventy LA Sports, and just a little bit we'll have Clippers talk for you. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy. There was just one more present to unwrap Clipper Nation, and let's get into it right now. Clippers. As I mentioned, we're down fourteen with under three minutes left. Norman Powell hits a three pointer. Mind you, it looked like coach lew had pulled the starters and was waving the white flag. Now. I don't know if he was just looking for more energy out there, he didn't like what he was seeing from that group. They weren't getting it done, or he you know, really thought
they had a chance with these guys to come back. A mere Coffee has a dunk, Moses Brown has a layup and and one, and all of a sudden they're within seven. And then Saint Nick does this coffee into the front court rights to left, down the middle outside, but two of them are straight away. Three is up. It's good Nick, but Tom brings it to within four, one twenty seven, one twenty three, with one thirty two to play a four point game. It didn't look so impossible after
all. With a minute thirty left there they play the free throw game. Clippers have it too within two after Luke Kinnard hits a couple at one twenty seven to one twenty five Pistons. Then Paul George goes to the line with twenty one point two seconds left and has a chance to tie it down too, but he misses the first hits the second. Clippers down one at one twenty seven to one twenty six. They have to foul Killian Hayes, though,
then misses the second free throw and it's a two point game. And once you know Terrence Man would make his first shot when it mattered most, George lost the ball got a fact, fades, feeds inside of the right block. Thirteen seconds left, back to George. Ten seconds left, Clippers down by two. George on the right wing caught up seven seconds left. Man tries right, pulls it, hits it the right elbow jumper ties the game. One twenty eight to play. Excuse me? One twenty eight apiece
four point nine to play. Get it in, Bob Donovit's left to right. Three seconds left, Bo donovits and that was good. Bogdanovits should not make it this spoiler alert. We're heading to overtime and to start things off well, the starters are bracket and Paul George was doing this. The Clippers have it with George tom to keep driving. Middle on Hayese gets the rim
a lot of contact, oh, Paul George. He bags it in plus the foul superman of the rim for the hope and harm and the Clippers after their first lead since ninety four ninety two, it's one thirty to one twenty eight. Paul George would turn it over, steal it back and have a dunk. Clippers are back up by two after the Pistons had hit a three pointer to tie. There Luke Kennard then hits the three Clippers are now up by five and Terrence Man it wasn't just where he did at the end of
the fourth quarter. He was great. No. T two. It's awards in on the front court, right to left, into the front court on the screen to his left. Now for Man Lobbett Man on the left wing, steps back near side, corner three ball. Oh, he's got it. Terrence Man. It was a long two with his foot on the line, but either way. Man with four points puts the Clippers up one thirty eight, one thirty one, two thirty five to play an ot The Clippers
outscored the Pistons fourteen to three. It overtime. They finished the game going back to the fourth quarter on a thirty to five run and they win one forty two to one thirty one after trailing by fourteen with under three minutes left.

Subscribe to Clippers Talk on iHeart Radio or wherever you podcast. Now your host of Clippers Talk.
Here's Adam Osla. Do you believe in post Christmas miracles? Clippers were down fourteen with under three minutes left in the ballgame. They go on to win by eleven in ot in Detroit one forty two to one thirty one. Unreal welcome in the Clippers stock. I met him Oslin to eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number coming up? You're gonna hear from the head coach and the
players after this one. I no words. I know I'm supposed to have him here for you, but what we just saw was one of the most improbable comebacks by a team known for them they have had in just coach Lu's era, even not even going back to the eighteen nineteen season with Doc Rivers, with all those twenty point comebacks, the thirty one point comeback against the Golden State Warriors in the playoffs. Just over the last few years with Coach
Lou, they've had ten comebacks of eighteen points or more. But in this one, it looked like they were given the game away again. There was a twenty nine point turn around. The Clippers go from being up fifteen midway through the third quarter to down fourteen with two fifty three left in the fourth quarter, and they end up winning by eleven from a twenty nine point turnaround in favor of the Pistons to a twenty five point turnaround in favor of the
Clippers for the win. I know it's a gamer runs, but this is extreme and I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before. I know at Evil four Letters, Stats will have something, Elias Sports Bureau will have something on this. And the odds of the Clippers coming back. Never tell me the odds. They went han solo with it, but this was special
Clipper Nation. They didn't even have Kawhi, by the way, But maybe if you're reading his lips on the sidelines as he gets ready to play tomorrow in Toronto, he might have said that that's a very good win, that's a very good comeback. It went from I was ready to say the nightmare after Christmas put them down fourteen and seemingly coach Lew waving the white flag with three twenty seven left, they're taking guys out. It looked like they had
maybe given up. But I sit on Twitter, I'm not sure if coach Lew is given up or he just doesn't like the effort from the starters right now and he starts pooling everybody. A mere coffee comes in for John Wall Terrence man in for Marcus Morris, Moses Brown, and for Paul George, who has taken a lot of unnecessary hate on Twitter from cliper Nation. By the way, give him his flowers. Norman Powell enters the game for Aviza Zoobots and they come back. Powell hits a three pointer okay, nine point
game, two fifty two left. Bogdanovitch goes to the free throw line, missus one would end up a critical miss. Later, a mere coffee as a dunk, ten point game, Moses Brown and and one seven point game, and then Nicholas batoum Saint Nick not done. One more gift for you hits a big time three point with a minute thirty two left after a Moses Brown's steal on Killian Haynes, and the Clippers are within four. It's doable. They can see the finish line. You give a team like this,
with all the comebacks they've had life, they're gonna find a way. I was telling our producer Katie and studio, the Clipper is going to do this down four a minute and a half left. That's an eternity for them. They will find a way to pull it out. Luke Kennard sings a couple of free throws, but then Paul George and we thought this might come back to come back to haunt them. They're down two with twenty one point two
seconds left. One seven twenty five is the score. Pistons in front and PG thirteen misses the first to two, had a chance to tie it there, hits the second. They're down one and Killian Haynes. Hayes, excuse me, does the exact same thing. He misses the second one. He's an eighty one percent free throw shooter. Had a great ball game for Detroit, and they leave the door open for the Clippers to tie the ball game with a two pointer. Paul George was well defended, looked like he lost.
The basketball, goes into the hands of Terrence Man, who hadn't made a shot in the game, and he comes up with a right elbow jumper and sticks it to tie it at one twenty eight. Bogdanovich heaves up a prayer and we're going into overtime, where the Clippers smelled blood and dominated. They won the overtime fourteen to three. Paul George started things off with an end one, then after he had a turnover, stole it and had a
dunk. Luke Kennard yailed a big three pointer, Terrence Man and another jumper, and they just blew him out in the last eight minutes of the game. Going back to the ends of the fourth quarter, the Clippers went on a thirty to five run, unbelievably after they couldn't find their defense from the outset. They gave up thirty six points in the first quarter, They couldn't slow down Detroit and they hold him to five points during an eight minute stretch
at the most critical junction of the game to win it. What a victory and Noah Eagle talked about it post game. Could this be something that catapults them forward like that Atlanta game from two years ago where they were down twenty In a similar fashion, Coach lou pulls the starters, Luke Kennard goes off, goes eight of eight, including a half court shot at the end of
the third quarter. They come back to win, mostly with some of those backups that came in like he and Terrence Man, who were huge, and the Clippers said something was born out of that victory and it would propel them all the way to the Western Conference Finals or unfortunately, they didn't have Kauai and they would fall to the Phoenix Suns. But they got to a place they had never reached before, and sometimes a victory is worth more than just
that one game in the standings. This could be one of those nights for the Clippers. We'll see real quick because they're in Toronto tomorrow and they just won two in a row, struggling overall three and seven in the last ten. The good news is Kawhi looks to be back for that one. This is a back to back. He hasn't played one all season long. He's only been in thirteen games. Clippers are ten and three in those thirteen games, and he's taken on his former squad. What a victory in dramatic fashion
to say the least. Hey, it goes from being what I said on Twitter would have been the worst loss of the season, worse than their loss in overtime to the magic where I think they were up by fourteen with minutes remaining because Detroit has the worst record in the league, had lost five in a row. Don't have Kade Cunningham, there are mess and the Clippers let him score at will until the last eight minutes, including overtime. Their defense
just never showed up until the very end. But I thought for sure, Yeah, it's probably going to be their worst loss of the season, and it goes from worst loss to maybe biggest victory, craziest comeback at least so far. We got coach lou coming up. We got Luke Kennard post game. But I do want to get out to some phone calls. Sean and Inglewood. You're on Clippers stop withoutam Oslin. What's up day, my man? Adam, Like you said, with good victory, get to talk to
you. But I have to say, you know, I actually give tylu a C minus on the last two games because he almost made the same mistake that he made in Philly. There's a reason why all the basketball consultants and ext players say that the Clippers have the best bitch in the league, the deepest team. Okay, so if you have the deepest team, use them. Hello, Robert Covington is not playing at all? Come on, really, lost of teams would love to have him, but Shan almost made the
same mistaken I'm just guessing that is the issue. Lots of teams would love to have him. He may be a luxury for the Clippers. I don't know what they're up to with him. Most people do speculate they're keeping him on ice and healthy and available for a trade. I don't know if that's true or not, but I don't know what else to think at this point. I don't know what else to think about that. But onto. My next point is that you can see the rotations were weak tonight getting in that
first part of the fourth quarter, and they needed to play deeper. This is not the playoffs where you play seven or eight guys. You need to play these guys because each guy brings something different than something you need, and you have to stop getting into these bad patterns. They should have won the Philly game had they played the bench earlier. They didn't, you know, they didn't play enough people. So and then you had Lunard sticky Milton,
and you could have had Covington or either Terren's man sticking him. And he was just tearing Luke Nardo a couple of days ago. So I give him a C minus on the last two games. But congratulation Flippers, But I'm sorry, I'm whatever you say. Yeah, I'm just gonna say this. I think coach lou Is doing some tinkering with some of the small ball they've
been playing, where four guards have been out there at times. He wants to see everything they have before he really starts to pick and choose who are going to be his guys, and just kind of reduced the rotation a little bit. That's that's my best guess, because Coach lou is the smartest guy in the room. We've seen him make the great adjustments over and over again when they have to. I just feel like he doesn't have to yet. That sense of urgency with forty seven games yet or left isn't there yet.
That's my best guess. And you heard what I said about Rocco. That's the only thing I can conclude at this point because it is a little bit baffling, as I'm sure the Detroit Pistol and Pistons are feeling like right now. Baffled, befuddled, poor Dwayne Casey. They thought they had it in the bag up fourteen under three minutes left, and somehow, some way the Clippers find a way to come back to win in overtime by eleven. We'll
take a quick time out. We'll get back to your phone calls. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Hashtag comeback Clips. They do it again and they're most improbable come back at least this season. Down fourteen and they go on a thirty five run to end the ball game to win by eleven.
Unreal more Clipper Stock next during AMP five seventy l a sports am to the field to the amphe eat up Paul George LA Clippers Basketball continue heights. It is pains as he carries the three on the home of your LA Clippers. I'm on the run of Wolf sleeps Night. It's like it all goes up in side two. The flow Imma tells one living all around. When has the world become burn? I've been getting paid about four five, Miss r let first come back down fourteen was under three minutes left to win in
overtime one forty two to one thirty one in Detroit over the Pistons. Welcome back into your post game show. This is Clippers Stock. I'm out of Oslin to eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number coming up. We're gonna get to coach Low post game. But first Damien in Los Angeles, Damian, what's up? You're on Clippers stalk triple? Hey baby, how about that? Man? We got the eight mile miracle day after Christmas? I got one,
you know what I'm saying, and get nothing for Christmas. The Clippers gave me a beautiful victory. I'm not I'm not saying there was some mom spaghetti on the Detroit Pistons jerseys after that one. But something went terribly wrong down the stretch, you know, and you could see it. I don't know if you could see that. And I tweeted you, you know about the look in Terence Man's eye, but also the body language in the Pistons going into that overtime was not good. They look very defeated out there on
the court, and it really showed in their play, you know. And then the other thing I told you they probably were gonna end up with about eighteen They end up with about eighteen three at the end of the night. And sure enough, I mean, they had nineteen, but one of those is in overtime. You know. It's a it's a real head scratcher of a game. It's the real conundrum of the game. I think that you probably had a really valid point about Coach lou and the substitution patterns, because
I was kind of scratching my head on that a little bit. But I can see in a game like this where you have somebody who's lost the five, you know, you're not expecting a whole lot from Detroit. You don't have anything to prove to Detroit. We can go out there and see what's working and see what we're gonna be able to depend on. Because you're right, Coach Lou is gonna have some choices to make come playoff time. Yeah,
he's gonna have to shorten the rotation a lot. And even before then, we're we're not far from the halfway point the season now, and the Clippers are thirty five games in, so they're six away from the halfway point of the season. The other part of it is regarding rotations. They're on the back to back, so he was going to fiddle more, play guys more to try to get other guys rest in this one. Now, you can make the argument that because they didn't put this game away up fifteen on
the third quarter, they could pay for it tomorrow. They could have tired legs out there against Toronto, but at some point you're just so desperate to find a way to come back and win. You say it's a great victory because as dejected as Detroit was, the morale right now with the clip Hippers in that locker room has to be in an all time high. Maybe. Ay all up, man, Ted Lasso, Baby believe, you gotta believe, you know, And I you know, I see seeing spage for the
Clippers a little bit. I think they got down on them Filves a little bit, you know, on that third and fourth quarter a little bit. It was that characteristic. You know, I think they just need to remember who they are. You know, who this team is. This is in our DNA, this is who we are. But we do run up against teams that also want to fight, and we need to, you know, just stop playing down to those guys. We need to go out there play
a little bit more bullyball. I was discouraged by John wall a little bit. You know, he was having a good night, but a plus minus was not good. No, he he ended up, you know, struggling. He was a minus twenty six. The thing is he had his moments, but the problem was he was out there when that big twenty nine point turn around happened. He goes four or six from the outside, had five assists, but also five turnovers. So John Wall really has been struggling in
the month of December. I gotta be honest about that. He hasn't looked right. The progress just hasn't been there that we were hoping for because he hasn't played much at all the last three years, had just played forty games, and it's not Progress is rarely linear. But he's taken a step back in a lot of different ways right now and just hasn't been much of a
positive when he's been out there on the court. But just believe I'm gonna go with the Don McClaine believe it since I saw him on the postgame show afterwards. Clippers, somehow, some way they found that faith, that belief. Late they made it happen after having seven of their nineteen turnovers in that third quarter, and I put him on third quarter watch officially after what happened the last three games now going back to Charlotte and then Philly. They lose
the third quarter to Charlotte by eight coming out of the half. They lose it to Philly by twelve in a game they were up by twenty in they were up by fifteen in this one, and they lose the third quarter by nine points to Detroit. So something is a miss there. They have to make some corrections, especially because immediately coming out in the first few minutes of
that third quarter, and it was a lot of Paul George. He had thirteen of his thirty two in the third, had eight of his thirty two and the fourth and ot late, but they unraveled with those turnovers after getting up by fifteen, and it looked like it was going to be another problem for them just coming out of the gates and playing a complete quarter. They never They never really did outside the second quarter where they held Detroit to twenty
five and they out scored him thirty five to twenty five. That was the best they looked until the last eight minutes. How's scoring them thirty here going on a thirty to five run in the last eight minutes to win this one and winning it in overtime. Let's hear from coach lou post game. Very interested to hear from the head coach after this one Clippers come through with a one forty two, one thirty one, almost impossible victory late in Detroit.
And that's just credit to our guys just staying ready, you know, Moses Brown, Mirror Coffee team man like I came in, did a great job of just you know, playing hard and just playing together, playing and you know, with some emergency and Nickel out there with that group, along with Norman Powell or Luke did a great job just staying within the game, you know, And so in the NBA, you never know what could happen.
And like I said, I credit you know, Moses for staying ready at Mire for staying ready because they didn't play the whole game and then come in for the last three and a half minutes and produced the way they did was huge. It just does a lot about our team. You know, guys are gonna be ready, I don't no matter when they're called up on.
And like I said, they did a good job. And so I knew it was gonna be a tough game, you know, I knew with the two bigs they started, you know, offensive rebounds, we gave up sixteen and then once again we had nineteen turnovers, you know, and So when you do that, when we're up fifteen, and then you get a technical foul, get two technical fouls, offensive rebounds, turnovers, you know,
and so ain't thing can happened in this league. And so you gotta play the game all the way through and you just can't, you know, get up by a big margin and let us slip away. And so it's a learning experience for us. I'm glad we on the other end of the learning experience, but you know, we just gotta be better just playing through the
game. Was there a point in the last three minutes when he before he get down to single days, when you thought you saw something and you would like, let me just ride this out and and see we're actually going to get back in there. Yeah. I thought it was our defense, just our urgency defensively. I thought Moses did a great job at the rim and rebound the ball a mere coffee, got a deflection to steal te man deflection steal. And you know, the way Nico plays is just you know,
that's the way he plays every single night. But just those guys come in and compete on the defensive end allow us to get back in the game. Coach little Post game, Clippers down fourteen under three minutes left, and they went in over to by eleven in Detroit. Absolute heroics late Terrence Man hit the game time jumper to put it at one twenty eight all to get him into ot and then they just ran away with it. Paul George was brilliant early at overtime, had the and won the steel on the dunk. Luke
Canard hit a three pointer, Terrence had a couple of buckets. They out scored Detroit fourteen to three in overtime and overall thirty to five in the last eight minutes of the game. It was a good day for the Clippers after all. Coming up next, more postgame audio you'll hear from Luke Canard. We'll get back to your phone calls. Eight sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
This is Clipper stuck here on AM five seventy l A Sports Just Todays, saw the police and bow right past No. You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball up to clipp puts it down plus the five every game all season long on their official home Clippers Wine one thirty one in overtime in Detroit after they were down fourteen with under three minutes left. They pull it off. Another crazy, wild roller coaster of a Clippers come back. But they are victorious
in the front end of this back to back. Tomorrow they'll be in Toronto, taken on the Raptors. We expect them to have Kawhi Leonard eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number if you'd like to get on. I'm also at follow out of May on Twitter. Just how unlikely was that Clippers come back?
Well, this comes from the Evil four letters, stats and info entering tonight over the last twenty five years, going back to the ninety six ninety seventh season, teams when trailing by fourteen or more were three minutes remaining. We're two in twelve thousand, eight hundred and seventy three in those situations and the Clippers just became the third team to do it over the last twenty five years. Tay, just a walnut, Tay, just what's up? You're
on? Clippers? Stop without Amassin? Hey Adam, what a game? But shame on me because when they went down fourteen, turned the TV off, left the room set and then you know what, I got that sixth sense and I'm like looking at my phone, like let me just check this coore. So I look at it and I'm like, oh, well, they're down setting and then I see the next play and it says, oh, but twom hits the three and then they're down four. So I go back to the room, turn the TV on, but I go stand in
the spot because I feel like, you know, I'm really superstitious. I'm gonna go stand to that spot. I stood in that spot for the last two or a minute and a half in the whole overtime. So I'd like to say I had a little, you know, hand in that victory. I'd like to give credit to the players and the coaches that actually put in the work. But maybe that's just me tageous. I'm not superstitious at all. And there's somebody from Detroit who was doing the exact same thing and their
team ended up losing it. So I don't I don't know. I'm not into that stuff. But you know what, recently, I've been doing this stupid driving into crypto dot com arena video mix where I listened to some mashup and the Clippers are five and one when I do it, and I keep doing it, and it's gonna be a little bit because the Clippers still have three more games left on this five game roadie. They've started off one and one, and it looked like they were going to blow back to back huge
double digit leads. They were up twenty in Philly, they lost that game by five. They were up fifteen in Detroit, the team but the worst record in the league, and then all of a sudden, they were down fourteen with under three minutes left. But they figured it out in the nick of time. Where's Johnny Depan? You need him? Morris sexually? Don't Morris? And long Beach, what's up? You're a cliver stock. I'm gonna tell you something, madam. There's no such thing. There is no
such thing as a gimme in the National Basketball Association. If you get a win, please appreciate it. And then the second thing I want to say is tell them follows to get out of town as quickly as they can, because we stole this game, and there's a whole lot of witnesses to it, and you just gave up the evidence in the statistics. Ain't nobody's seen nothing like this before, Adam. They stole this game, So tell me to get out as quickly as they can. And that's not gonna be an
easy one. Tomorrow Nurse can coach from the Raptors. That guy can coach. I don't care what their records are, so tomorrow is not going to be easy one. But tell them fullos to get out of town quick because what they did, they couldn't explain that in the court of law. Stole it like the Santa and Friday after next Clippers do it again. An exciting, improbable comeback Clippers victory. This just a thirty to five run in the
last eight minutes when they couldn't stop Detroit whatsoever. Pistons were out there shooting over sixty percent from three in the first half. They still had sixteen three pointers. They had eleven made in the first half. They average eleven made per game, and they did that in the first half. Clippers defense, it found a way late. Coach Lou pushed the right buttons, putting the right guys. They had a sense of urgency. Eventually they figured it out.
I don't know how they do it. They just do all right, we'll preview tomorrow's game coming up. Clippers win one forty two to one thirty one in ot over the Pistons. You're listening to Clippers stock here on the M five seventy only spot. I mean get the checking them run indo. I mean get this glidden, we were running. This has a minute. This is love. Oh Paul George LA Clippers Basketball continue pisen his pains as he carries the three on the home of your LA Clippers. Want to shoot,
shoot, shoot shoot shoot. Before tonight, your Los Angeles Clippers been trailing by fourteen or war were three minutes left. We're oh, in four seventeen. That changes. They finally get a victory in that scenario, down by fourteen just under three minutes left, they come back to win in overtime in Detroit, one forty two to one thirty one over Well, Lukennard's former team in the Pistons, Reggie Jackson's former team, Marcus Morris's former team.
And here was Luke Kennard post game on Valley Sports speaking with Jamie Magio. Guys, thank you, thank you very much. I don't know how to describe this one. But let's take it first to the overtime period. You guys looked absolutely locked in. You had a huge three of steel as well. What was it about the overtime period that you guys were able to hunker down and really lock it. I mean, honestly, it started with Nicobatum in the in the regulation when we cut it about I think six or five
there, he said he brought us all in. There was a there's a free throw and he said, we got plenty of time, just like we've done this before. So credit to Nico for really locking us in there. It's just to get it back to tie the ball game up and going into overtime, and then you know, we brought our guys back in PG. He just draw so much attention, so I was able to get loose on one and guys made big plays, Terrence obviously with the shot to tie it
up to go to overtime. So I got stepped up there. Nan. It feels good to get this one second game of a five game road trip. You guys are playing again tomorrow in Toronto. When Tai brought in a mere coffee, Moses Brown some of the other bench players, what were they able to accomplish to help turn things around. They just played hard. I mean a mere Moses. I mean those guys they're they're true pros and and anytime they get in they play hard, they make winning plays. And I
mean Moses had some big rebounds, a big basket. So yeah, I mean just we we had those guys last year, es like a mere especially that played in big games for us and one as games, so they know what it's about, they know what it takes to win. And having those guys get out there and give us that extra kick at the end kind of helped us out a lot. What does it show you about your team that you guys did not give up in this light? I mean it shows a
lot. It shows us a lot, you know, being on the road for a few days now, I know he still got something to go, but this kind of gives us a little bit more momentum. It shows us that you know, each night's gonna be tough, and you know got teams are gonna play their best against us, and us fighting till the very end. It shows a lot about what we have. But we were a lot
that we gotta take care of and get better at. There was Luke Kennard post game had a three and ot, finished four of eight from distance, had eighteen points six of twelve overall from the field. He's been the best three point shooter in the league going back a couple of years now, since he became a Clipper. They saw this in him. They gave him an extension early on, and now it looks like a team friendly extension. Sorry, Nick right, Nick wrong. In that case, Clippers find a diamond
in the rough in Detroit. They bring him in, best three point shooter in the league. He's just under shooting fifty percent from three, it is, and he hits big shots. That's the other part of this. You know, Luke Kennard, if the Clippers are coming back in a game, you just know he's gonna have his imprints, his fingerprints all over it.
He did hit clutch free throws, hit that three I mentioned in overtime, and somehow under three minutes left, two fifty three left in the ball game, Clippers down fourteen, and that cliche will to win, refuse to lose mindset kicks in. He spoke about Nicholas Batoum there gathering the guys, saying we've been here before. And that's what you love about this squad and a
victory like this, they can draw confidence from this. The next time they're down and it looks bleak, the Clippers could say, Okay, let's go. We can figure this out. And by the way, teams know about their reputation too. We've seen that before this season. When teams are up big, like Phoenix was recently against them, they kept their guys in late because they know the Clippers could come back at any moment. Clippers coming back
