Steve Blake had a big part in it as well, but who seals the deal from the Clippers' side of things?

Steve Blake. :lol:

Randolph by far. He just plain beasted on the inside against Portland. I was never a fan of his but he's made me one by his showcasing his offensive skills in a Clippers jersey.

It's hard for me to decide between Zach and Baron. Zach played well throughout but Baron hit the huge 3 to put it into OT. With out Baron's 3 we wouldn't have won. So I'll give the nod to Baron, but Zach is very deserving of being the Star of the game.

Randolph has impressed me and I'm eating my words from earlier. Randolph has been great

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure he hit the shot towards the end of the 1st OT to give us the lead before Portland scored to tie it up again.. It's a tough choice for me.. I would definitely give co-stars to both if possible. I'll just have to choose Baron this time for being really clutch.

I had to sleep on it :D

Z-Bo had a monster game, and we wouldn't have won it without him. He could have easily had 40+ points in this game if he would have made a few of the easy ones that he missed. He went to the line and the fans were really giving it to him, but he knocked down each attempt. That's clutch, isn't it Steve? This guy came to the team with a bad reputation, but I've enjoyed seeing him out there in a Clipper uniform. He's truly impressed me and I'm glad that he is on this team.

Baron only shot 38% from the field, but he hit some huge shots for us. I remember cringing whenever Maggette would attempt a 3 (with the exception of last year), and this season I'm getting that feeling from Baron. I will give him credit for actually shooting 50% (17-34) in the last 5 games. The 3 at the end of regulation did it for me. Without that we lose another game by less than 5 points.

I went with Boom.

I voted B-Diddy. While Zachary was beastin', Baron did what we've all been waiting for him to do: He was CLUTCH. Like MK pointed out, he wasn't exactly money throughout, but he was when it counted, and that's what we needed him to do.
