Game #5 LAC @ OKC 5:00pm

[PeteyPablo]

This was an improvement as far as Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell. Clippers made their run and started looking like the Clippers we have become accustomed to watching, playing defense and hitting open threes.

It looks like they lost the game with 20 Turnovers compared to OKC's 12, AND at the three-point line where Clippers shot 9-28 32.1% vs OKC 17-38 44.7%.

Clippers led with fast break points ( 21 ) OKC (13) and points in the paint ( 68 ) OKC (54).

On to the next one this Sunday vs Pelicans at 12:00pm .

Turnovers!!!!
After 5 games we are dead last in turnovers per game (18.0) and in takeaways per game (10.6). We are still not a good rebounding team, allowing 12.8 offensive rebounds per game (25th in NBA) while grabbing only 8.2 per game ourselves (28th in NBA). That’s an even 12 possessions a game that the Clippers are spotting opponents. We are shooting well from 3 and defending 3 well, but the shooting differentials won’t matter if they don’t have the ball enough to shoot it.
We have to shoot insanely good and have a lockdown defense in order to win games when allowing 12 more possession per game to our opponents.
