What a botched last possession. But I like the defensive mindset.

Westbrook has brought the energy

I’m not watching so only tracking stats, but it seems like if anyone else can just step up a little to help Kawhi bring it home, we’ll be okay.

Ugh cmon PG 5 points!?

Need a defensive stop. Could Kawhi pull this off again?

Leonard carried all game.

Clutch shot by PG.

This team gives me the worst heartburn.

It’s awful we’re having to claw, bite, scratch to win these games

Somebody

was dogging me saying I was dogging Kawhi.

Not at all. All I was saying is that all across the NBA, games are being won by somebody's superstar [or occasional role player] dominating the game. Kawhi doesn't like dominating, but once again that's what it took to win. No other Clipper had more than 14 points.

Defensively, we seemed to get burned for a lot of easy baskets, but OTOH we held them to 97 points and their top 3 scorers to 19-45 [42%]. It's all about the D.

Such a gritty, playoff type win. Both teams healthy and still playing for something. And the defense was great.

On to the next

At least their effort is fully there now.

Hopefully they clean up the turnovers and make more 3s against charlotte

These teams have a good record. The Magic has a good winning record and they were at home. I'm glad we got the W even if we had to bite and claw.

Missed a lot of the game but what I did see kawhi was the man. Remember everybody, we kinda suck right now so even a measly win with one player gettin it done is a positive! Bring on Denver :lol:

Oh & if this game was at crypto it’s a 10+ loss

Back to back solid wins on the road. Glad to see our 2 max players hitting a number of big shots in the 4th. Potential trap game Sunday.

I think that changes in the playoffs. But also, when he has to do too much in first halves, it gets easier to defend him late in games.
