Transcript

The game is over, Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame reaction has just be gone. Kawhi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. This is Clippers locker row, a recap of today's game and a look ahead on your hope for LA Clippers basketball at now your host, You,

sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Kawhi Leonard says, come with me if you want to win the terminator hits, the game winning jumper and the Clippers when one nineteen o one seventeen in Charlotte over the Hornets, in the return of Kawhi PG and Luke Kennard and this one coming up, we'll get to your second half highlights, your post game box score. You'll hear from Kawhi and the players and head coach. But first, back to Noah Eagle in Charlotte. Noah, it's what we've come to expect from Kawhi

Leonard. And even though he was struggling throughout the game, he wasn't in the fourth quarter. I mean, how perfect is that? First of all, I'm just watching the replay right now, and right as he put it up, Brandon Boston has given the sign like it's good. It's good he's given like that, and one side of yeah he did. He sweet talked, no doubt. But how fitting is it that his first game back, not only is the game and the balance with the ball in his hands,

but of course he knocks down the shot. It's just it's too perfect, and it's it's a perfect example, microcosm and everything in between of what this Clipper team needs to get them over the top. And it's Kawhi Leonard playing like Kawhi Leonard. They are really really good even without him, and they proved that last year forty two wins essentially without him and Paul George, and they were well on pace to doing that and then some again this year even

if they didn't come back. But this is why you need those guys game on the line. Who makes the plays, Well, it's Paul George tapping it to Leonard. Then they get to stop who grabs a huge rebound over Mason plumbly Paul George again, and then the recognition from PG to see Leonard has the mismatch that they're looking for, and then the presence of mind, the experience and the talent to go and knock it through well, Kawhi Leonard delivers it and he does it just calmly, and you know what, it

wasn't even stoic. He actually did show a little emotion. I think that had to feel good for a guy that's missed as much time as he has, has been frustrated that he's been sidelined. For that to be the first game back, that's got to be a monkey off his back as well. Emotion chip activated as Kawhi goes four of six from the field with eight points in that fourth quarter, hit the last four points for the Clippers. But even on that putback layup, there was a great effort tip play by Paul

George to get it to him exactly. And that's the example the two on three connection playing in harmony. When they've played together over the course of their tenure in Clipper uniforms, they're almost unstoppable. Their record is impeccable. They are on a fifty something wind page fifty seven, fifty eight level wind pace when they've played together over the course of the four seasons. They've figured it out. And I told you it's similar to when you defeat a video game.

The first time I used the example of Super Mario Bros. With the girl in our town that was really good at it, Princess shows me and my sister. Yeah, I'll use it again. Right, So when you first go through it, it's hard to beat a level and you get stuck on a level and you can't get through. But you finally beat at the one time, and then let's say you start the game over again, Well it might only take you three tries instead of twenty five tries like it did

the first time. So that's the way I look at it. Here where Kawai and Keg they know the blueprint. They figured it out in that Utah series. So now it's just about finding it again and it should come a lot quicker than it did the first time around. As evidence by tonight, it's like they got the game Genie two. Clippers winning this one off of Kawhi Leonard game winning jumper one nineteen to one seventeen over the Charlotte Hornets. Their next game, first of a back to back, starts in Orlando on

Wednesday, same tip time at four. We'll have Clippers count down your pregame show starting at three. Noah Eagle, my friend, great call and the game winner or playing that coming up next. We will talk to you on Wednesday, Adam, Come on, I mean, do you even have any question as to what I'm gonna say? Can't wait wait? Clippers win and the return of Kawahi PG of Luke Kennard.

Second half highlights Clippers led by nine at the half, it was sixty three to fifty four, but things flipped around and eighteen point turnaround in that third quarter as they found

themselves down by nine, down by six heading into the fourth. But early on that fourth quarter it was the former Charlotte Hornet and Nicholas Batoum and Luke Kennard who was back for this game, doing some big work from distance wall driving right feeds right wing three. Canard got head and put today in.

Luke Kennard with a chance for four and his return action as he brings the clips within a bucket ninety to eighty seven, rolls to Canard on the outside, back to man shot corner, kick it, Batoomb corner three, Nikomtomb night on from the far side and the Clippers go back in front on a seven now think sprint to start the fourth wall with a chest pass Canard nearside, corner tough three on the way, Oh, Luke Canard money fading out

He didn't even bring it down and buttomb with rain drop flying from the left wing for three forces a Charlotte time out one oh four ninety six la in front. Clippers started five of six from distance from three in that fourth quarter, and

it was the bench unit leading them. But then the starters were going to close things out, and who else but the claw had to have the ball in his hands. Lead Leonard down the right alley all the way to the rim. Oh the up and under reverse goes down Kawhi Leonard and double figures with ten in his return. Six players and double figures for the Clippers, none of which have twenty jaff step and drive cut off by mc daniels, no guests to the done in line fades from ten and hints go on.

poke by George Flintard inside can the board man got paid. Leonard lays it in to tie the game one seventeen a piece with thirty nine point seven seconds left, and after Jalen McDaniels missed a twenty four foot three pointer, the Clippers had the basketballs just under twenty seconds left. Who else you're gonna give the ball to? Five seconds left? Leonard facing up, three seconds left, step back eighteen foot her pokwi Leonard. He delivers. What a welcome

Now your host of Clippers Talk. Here's Adam oswin. Yes, the claw Kawhi letter took hold of the game late hit the game winning jumper, I extended near side and the Clippers win one nineteen to one seventeen in Charlotte over the Hornets. Welcome into your post game show. This is Clippers Talk. I'm outam moslan 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 here

on the show. We got postgame audio from the clock Kawhi Leonard and you'll hear from the head coach in Tehron Lou. But what a return. Welcome back Kawuhi, Welcome back Paul George, Welcome back Luke Kinnard, and welcome back Clipper Nation. Fans who were on the outs the last couple of days, who were frustrated, one to see Kawhi Leonard and Paul George out there. They're back back with a bang, back with a game winner back playing

twenty eight minutes. Was Kawhi Leonard in this one. Mostly you have played before this game and the previous five was twenty five, played twenty eight and they were necessary. Had eight of his sixteen points in that fourth quarter, four of six and the fourth and scored the last four points a hustle put back lay up off the hustle from Paul George to tip it to him on

an offensive board. Just a beautiful two on three connection play there. That could be something that gets this team or really rolling again if they could stay healthy. Get Norn Powl back now too. The Clippers are going to be in great shape. And we talked about it earlier. Remember what coach lew

said pregame asked Noah Eagle about this. There was an interesting quote that came out where he said, it's hard to really assess our team because our guys have been out for so long, but this next stretch of twenty to twenty five games is going to be very important for us. Tonight's the start of something new. Boy, was it ever a Kawhi game winner? Okay, nothing new there, We've seen that before. He's been doing that in his entire career. A two time Defensive Player of the Year winner, two time

champion, two time finals MVP with two different organizations. He's trying to make it three now and give the Clippers their first ring and Larry O b as a franchise. That is the goal. And people are freaking out on me on Twitter saying what's going on doing some sky is falling, prisoner of the moment, moment panic stuff. And I told him, guys, they got fifty eight games left. Now, fifty seven left. You don't want to rush these guys back if they're not ready yet. You don't want to exacerbate

and further the injury that keeps them out of the lineup longer. You want them back when they're feeling right and the doctors clear them. I know guys want to play. You gotta protect players from themselves. Kawi wanted to play when he had stiffness in his right knee in that game in Okac. Paul George, I'm sure wanted to play. Luke and Are wanted to play before they got in today. But now is the right time. Four game road trip, a tough Dember schedule, and now maybe the Clippers can gain some

continuity and consistency out there. Because it wasn't up and down ball game. Still, they led by thirteen in the second quarter, but they couldn't run away with it up by ninth a half. There was an eighteen point turnaround where they were down by nine with four minutes left in the third quarter. Clippers came out lethargic in the third like they had the last couple of games, but more understandable than because it didn't have the cavalry with them. But

the starters didn't have a good opening to that third quarter. To say the least. They got outscored by fifteen there in the third. Terry Scary Rozier had thirteen points thirteen of his eventual twenty two in the third. Kelly Oubre Junior, who had sixteen in the first half, well, he had twelve more in the second half. He was very good. He's had twenty or more and seven of his last eight games now, I want to say. And the Clippers were down by six heading into the fourth what happened then?

It was the bench unit that woke up and Luke Kennard started off the quarter with a four point play. Welcome back, Luke Newcomb. I mean, just an impactful performance in his first game back, seven to fifteen, sixteen points. I'd say, oh, three from three, any right, I didn't call that along too? Is that what the discrepancy was with the score? They ended up calling that along too. We didn't know for the longest time in the fourth quarter there were two different scores going on. When the

Clippers down by three or were they down by two? Seems pertinent, seems like something you might want to know. Different plays could be called depending on how much you're down. They ended up figuring it out with about two minutes left, after Paul George was called for a technical because he was frustrated because he got beat defensively and threw the ball at the stanchion and back into his

hands. If he didn't say anything to anyone else, if he didn't say anything to an official or an opponent there, I don't understand the technical you wanna talk about, no harm, no foul. The ball went right back into his hands. He threw it off the stanch and understandably frustrated. It didn't look like he said it said anything. That is just in a game, and a one point game with two minutes left, you're gonna give a team a technical free throw there, and that's how the Hornets tied the ball

game. So a close back and forth contest late. But you know what close games like this, Brian Seman, I'm gonna butcher this saying that he has. But those blowout wins gets your fat and happy and unprepared. It's

the close wins that make you more battle tested. And for the Clippers to have a win like this, if you had any questions about their morale or confidence and where this team was at state of the Clippers, this is exactly the type of momentum victory that can carry that can start to turn the season

back in your favor. And they're still fourteen to eleven, with Kawhi playing six games, with Paul George missing nine, with Luke Kennard out the last three weeks, seems like they're in a pretty good position in the Western Conference. Nobody's running away with it. Phoenix is starting to heat up. But Kawhi Leonard doing his best work in the fourth quarter. Seen it before,

the opponents have seen it before. Two and that mid range, step back, unguardable shot that he has in his bag, acl is not going to affect that. It's just all skill, that game winner. It's too tough to guard. It's one of those playoff type of shots, mid range live still in the playoffs and in big moments in a tie game. One seventeen was the score with twenty seconds left and the Clippers had the basketball and Kawhi Leonard do you know what, Katie? Can we play the game winner one

more time? I want everybody here, Noah Eagles brilliant call here to give the Clippers the victory five seconds left, Letard facing up three seconds left, step back eighteen but her cool, Kawhi Leonard, he delivers what a welcome back and a superstar has come out to play once again. It's what he does. He lives for those moments. The flaw little Toy story sound for you. He is most comfortable in those high pressure situations, in chaos,

he's at his best. The game slows down because he didn't look great. He didn't look to be in much of a rhythm heading into the fourth quarter. Do you want to know what Kawhi Leonard had. Who's still struggling from the outside, And I think that's gonna be a critic cold piece here, a missing piece of the puzzle. When he starts to really look like himself,

he's gonna start hitting threes again. I think he's started off this season something like two of twenty from the outside, and he's a good three point shooter, but going into the fourth he had just eight points on three of

nine shooting, five boards and assists. He was a minus two in the game at that time when they were down by six hitting into the fourth and he ends up scoring eight in just the fourth quarter alone, in the last six minutes after the Clippers bench gave them a five point lead when they were heading into the fourth quarter down by six. Credit John Wall was some great kickouts and his drive and kick ability. He had twelve assists to just three

turnovers, twelve points. Four of thirteen shooting did hit a three pointer, just three or six from the free throw line. Some are saying, I shouldn't have brought it up pre game. Then he hit seventeen of his last eighteen. I was told pregame it's cool, just not during in the game. Plus broadcasters, jinkst you're really gonna call me a broadcaster? How can that even apply to me? Exactly? But the pace that he played with and the way he found guys. There was a beautiful three pointer that was

knocked down. I want to say it was by Marcus Morris, and it was off a quick pass from Wall to Kennard and then it was but Toomb not Morse. Just two really good passes. So John Wall would have the hockey assist in that situation. Luke Kennard ended up with the assist. But but Tom let it go almost before they even touched his hands. He has that quick release from the outside. And you don't think that game meant a little bit more to him. Take an incoming and booze from Hornets fans.

He had thirteen. All of his makes were from distance, four of six, two of them came in the fourth quarter. Big shots as part of the recipe for this Clippers team when they're getting big victories, it usually involves some critical shot by patomb Late a three pointer. But I thought the ball movement there want to highlight that it was brilliant. Marcus Morris also had I

think this was in the first half. He had a three ball off the movement from Kawai and Paul George, and look better out there next to those guys, wouldn't you know? Five of twelve just two of eight from distance. But considering how much he had been struggling, he was my player to watch. I think he was eight for his last thirty five from the field, and he goes five of twelve because he was getting open looks. The

Clippers were generating more open looks. It's not just because they were better with ball movement. It's because the gravity of Kauai oh Paul George into an extent Luke and Art when you have the best three point shooter out there, And he did get credit for that three pointer because he went to a three from distance that four point player earlier. He finished with nine points three or five, shooting two of three from distance. That's what makes everything so much easier.

And guys roles and what's needed from them and asked of them. It starts to fall into place. Because this is the squad they're supposed to have. Still missing Norman Powell, that's a huge piece. But anything close to hole for this Clippers team and they can do damage. That's how good they are. But they did end up with thirty assists on their forty five mats, and a lot of it was from John Wall with twelve assists. Paul George was seven. Did have a couple of curious turnovers in that third quarter.

But Paul George had a really good game twenty eight minutes, nineteen points, eight of fifteen, shooting two or four from the outside, was smooth with it. I want to say he had twelve of his nineteen in the first half, and when their offense did stall in that third quarter, he was the only guy making shots. Reggie five or thirteen with thirteen points. He hit three three pointers. Catch and shoot Reggie because he's getting good looks. Terrence man at a huge tip jam in this one off a miss from

Paul George. Where's fault on it? A lot of good contributions. I think Moses Brown not getting enough credit in his ten minutes, had eight and seven and redirected some shots and got credited for a block. Clippers win one nineteen to one seventeen over the Hornets. Still looking for postgame audio from your hero Kawhi Leonard. He hits the game winner with one point four seconds left. A skip bayliss one point four left. Clippers hold on to win by

two in Charlotte. In the return of Kawhi PG and Luke Kennard coming up. They'll be in Orlando on Wednesday. They're on a back to back. You know what, before we break, let's get it out of the way. Let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on five seventy l A Sports. If the mouse will cooperate with us, do we have is LA Clippers Basketball AM five seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD to Los Angeles and iHeart radio station. Help me help you mice. Clippers went

one nineteen to one seventeen in Charlotte over the Hornets. Coming up next here on Clippers Stock. We'll get your phone calls at eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy A couple of regulars Morris Javier are online right, I'm Adam Oslin. This is Clippers stock here on M five seventy l A sports. I ain't going nowhere, so we're used to me otis look at me? Is what they used

to be? Oh? Paul George LA Clippers basketball continue ice in his pains as he carries the three on the home of your LA Clippers and Models beat Chicken, nac did ass and para to bet something you can'ts gotten to see old type the shapes and stones being broke, his chapsish and up quake. Clippers win in Charlotte on a Kawhi Leaner Mini one nineteen A one seventeen A big minixy morn I don't think so. Clippers win by two thanks to number

two. Finished with just sixteen, but had eight of those points in the fourth quarter that scored the last four points of the ball game. A hustle put back lay up before that, with thirty nine seconds left off a ball that was saved from going out of bounce by Paul George got it to his running mate and the Clippers come through in their first game back in some time. Was some pretty critical players, I would say, who are missing.

In fact, this was the first game for Kawhi Leonard since November twenty feet, first game for Paul George since November nineteenth, first game for Lukenard since November fifteenth, first game for all three since October twenty three. Clippers pull off the victory, though late. Welcome back in the Clippers stock. I'm at a maslin to eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy Haavier and lahabra heights. What's up here?

On? Clippers stop without a auslin? Hey, what's up at him? Thank you for I take him a call? My god, there must be a full moon. I couldn't believe it when I before the game, I saw the uh I went online. It's like Luke is coming back, Kawai and Paul George at the same time. I'm like, wow, I mean and it was. It was nice to see. And during the game, I mean, it just they need some time to play together. So I kind of knew it was gonna be a close game. But at the

end, I guess when kah I made that that game winner shot. It just gave me goose bumps and reminding me back in the days, like a couple of years ago, reminiscent of what two thousand, nineteen twenty twenty, when a couple of games they had game winners. So I was like, man, it's been a while since, uh since that happened. So I'm so happy and also, Adam, next thing is the next couple of games. I believe they play Orlando, Miami and the Wizard. Is that correct?

Coming up? It's Orlando first, Miami, Yeah, and then the Wizards all on the road, next three on the road, then they come back home and take on the Boston Celtics next Monday night in downtown LA. Yeah. So so if they win the next three games and could go for and on this road trip, and then they could come back home and then you could chance it could probably be a second third even horse set. So see what happens. But after this game, I know they're gonna win the

next three, So it's a it's a really good start. So thank you, Adam, thank you for taking with them. Positive call from Javier. There are we still looking for Kawhi lettering postgame audio. How do we got it? We've had it for a while. Well that's all I want. Okay, let's hear it. Kawhi Leonard on Valley Sports with Jimmie Maggio. Yes, sir, don't get him look into send it back down to Jamie. You're standing by with a man of the All right, guys, thanks

some quite great to see you out on the court tonight. How did it feel for you to be in that moment and able to hit the game winner? Felt good? My teammates trusting me, They say who it was on me at the beginning It was Rosio, but they did a great job switching and I was able to get the spot in the ball in my spot and shot the ball confidently. How did you feel throughout the game? Just your sixth game up the season? How how did you feel physically? I felt

good. I mean, we can't wait to get back playing in a rhythm. Man, you know, playing more minutes. H But you know, I'm taking a challenge and I'm happy we got the win to night. I'm happy as well. Can you talk about how you guys were able to get the wins night? Because it looked like it could have gone either way. There in the second half, our bench came in and played a great game. We gave up the lead in that first uh. In that third quarter,

they pushed it. They did a good job the Hornets did by giving up eight or nine points. Second unit came in, got us back up six seven points and we was able to close it out. Great way to start the trip. Thanks quite a few words, but many buckets in that fourth quarter. In the game winner, there was Kawhi Leonard post game Clippers win one nineteen to one seventeen in Charlotte over the Hornets, and this was with no Roco playing, no Brandon Boston Junior, Noah mere Coffee, and

Norman Powell still out with that growing injury. Kawhi played in our thirty minutes, so did Paul George. They both looked like maybe they were going to be capped at twenty eight. Entered the game with about six minutes left. In that fourth quarter. It was dicey. It was back and forth. Kelly Ubray Junior has been on a heater, Terry Rosier is not afraid of anybody, and PJ. Washington had a big game two with twenty six. So the Clippers had to earn this one, but I think it's better that

way. They'll learn more in close games like this than from big blowouts. Now you want to see some of those, so guys get rest and they got a back to back coming up. But it was still good to see the two on three connection. First of all, Paul George zero rust. I mean he had a couple of bad turnovers. He normally has that anyway, so you can still say zero rust. But his three point shooting look

great. He was in rhythm. Kawai still not. He was late when he needed to be, but overall he's short with a lot of jumpers short from distance. Missed an easy one to lay up in transition had it redirected. I don't think he pushes himself, just like when we see playoff Kawai and how much different he looks there in the biggest moments like Game six and must win on the road in Dallas. He knows when to ramp up and find that extra gear, and that's what he did in the fourth quarter.

But I think one of the indicators will be with him when he's really feeling good is when he starts hitting more shots from the outside. He's just short on a lot of those three pointers wide open or not. Most of the time they're covered because he's Kawhi, But that's we'll know. Okay, the timing, the rhythm, He's starting to get back and sync. But the good news is until then, and I said this on Twitter, like Paul George has to be the number one right now. Doesn't mean he has to

do in the last two minutes. But overall, I assume he's going to be playing heavier minutes than Paul George or excuse me, than Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George will have more of the scoring load on his plate, on his shoulders, and that's to be expected early on this season as Kawhi Leonard comes along. But they got fifty seven games left to figure this out, and I don't think it's gonna take that long because we've seen the flashes before.

And look, those two cemented themselves as the two one three connection and a great duo during that playoff run in twenty twenty one four. Kawai went out he and Paul George were playing their best basketball together. They figured it out in high intensity situations. That's important. They'll definitely be able to figure out here in the regular season, as long as they can stay healthy and

get those reps. But excited to see what comes next. Hopefully Norman Powell's on the men and he's able to give it a go sooner than later. I'm not sure if he's with the team yet on this road trip, though. That is some information I'm still trying to clean. I'll look at a few different reporters, Law Murray of the Athletic to see if he asked that question postgame of coach lu Coming up, we will hear from Coach Lee.

We'll get back to your phone calls eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy Kawhi Leonard game winner from sixteen. Just tough bucket, but he makes it look easy coming off the ACL and still making those clutch shots. And it's just gonna get better from here.

Clippers win one nineteen to one seventeen to start off this four game roady Wednesday, they'll be in Orlando taking on the Magic. I don't want to wait any longer for this. I want to hear it. Let's hear from coach Loop post gave after the Clippers get the two point victory. Thanks to the heroics from Kawhi Leonard we was just talking

about in the lockerroom. Name was great. I thought John Wall, Lucar Nico, Nico's presence on Roch Year just picking him up full court, denying him, trying to tire him down. But I thought our bench was huge. They really in that third quarter, you know, got us back in the game and really won the game for us. I know Kawhi made a big shot, but our bench was huge for us today. Shot I was huge. I think a great momentum builder for him going forward, and just

happy to see those guys back on the floor. I thought Peg did a great job, especially in that first half of scoring the basketball, distributing the ball, getting guys these shots. Had seven assists and no turnovers in the first half, and then you know, having thirty one assists, you know, with those guys on the floor, like I said, it's gonna cause teams with double team, teams with digital things and now used to doing and

we're gonna get open shots. And so thirty six threes for us, it is huge because we've been wanting to shooting more threes and you know, so just continue to keep building off this. I think that first unit, we just gotta play a little faster, you know, play a little faster had in a half court offense, getting to our spots, harder cuts, sharper cuts, and then playing a little faster and transition as well. But overall, I thought it was a good job. You know, first game back,

I thought we did a good job. And then you were kind of expecting to see, you know, it take a little bit of time for Ag and Kauai and everybody around them so kind to get acquitted to having them in the game, how to dig with te I thought with the starters, it was good to start, and then I thought on the third quarter came

out of defensively wentn't we weren't very good? And then offensively, I thought, we got a little stagnant, you know what I'm saying, looking for those guys, and that's to be expect but we still got to play through the game and so we can't get stagged it. And then the biggest thing, he's just started a third quarter. But on defense, no, it

wasn't very good. There was coach lou post game after the Clippers win one nineteen to one seventeen and Charlotte over the Hornets used to a game winner from Kawhi Leonard with one point four seconds left, but the Clippers were pushed. They were up by eight and it turned into a one point game with two minutes left and the starters, guys who hadn't played much, had to figure

it out. But that's when you love having Kawhi Leonard. He also had a nice reverse layup in this one, and when I thought he was starting to find a rhythm, he had I want to say it was a fade away from the free throw line off a quick pass. I'm not sure who got credited for the assist on that one, but he just wasted no time and pulled up and knocked it down. Because some of the time right now,

it seems like he's taking longer to get to with spots. He's taking longer to get through his routine in working that defender and getting him off balance, and I think that's just a timing rhythm thing. It was always going to take time. But when time is of the essence, well you call Kawhi Leonard the time Lord as well as Robert Williams, I guess because he took over down the stretch. Kawhi with the last four points of the ball game. Clippers win by two in Charlotte Morrison Long Beach. What's up?

Hey, how you doing, Adam? Miss And I just wanted to say this with you. There was a moment in the game when the Clippers had seventeen goals. Of the seventeen goals, they had thirteen assists. These guys are looking pretty good. Now, this is what I want to ask Adam. Now, what is the back to back? They played today? That's Monday. They played again on Wednesday, Orlando.
