Zu started shaky, but finishing strong.

Man I wish Zu put in the layup there, it would have been 6 points in a row for him with 2 huge defensive plays as well...

Dear God, I was too scared to watch! I keep refreshing here. But I just saw the score with 30 secs left, and am back to not watching :lol:

What kind of position was that?

Paul waited too long, he should have at least started backing in or something. Try SOMETHING, we'll live and die with it.

We won and it still wasn’t good for my health.

That was an awful possession. We called a TO for THAT?

TUCKER with the D on Joker for the final shot!!

Holy heart attack batman. That was scary, glad we manned up and played a good game after another poor start.

My heart froze when that shot went up I was convinced that was going in.

Wow, big big win, first quarter was grim, but the next 3 quarters great. P.J. Tucker was a key factor harassing Jokic. Get well quick Kawhi

That was absolutely beautiful D. Stayed in front of him the whole time so he was able to really challenge the shot.

PG should have never played this game. -11? Who needs his 29 points?

Warriors put away the Rockets, Rockets are basically out of the picture or will be by the last game of the year. 2 Utah games and a Rockets game puts us in a really good position where we can hold onto 4 and not have to kill ourselves for it before the playoffs.

Jokic stayed in the paint for like 10 seconds but the refs didn't call it. Whatever action the Clippers wanted yo run, that definitely messed up the play which is why Zu was jumping up and down screaming at that one idiot red to call it.

Good win. Maybe we can build this thing back up. PG balled and Harden finally hit some shots. Big Zu was stellar down the stretch. One missed layup but man, this is what we've been wanting to see from him. It also helped that Lue didn't use small ball down the stretch and kept a body on Jokic.

This game shows why Clips will be tough in playoffs when the game slows. For the love of god please heal Kawhi and keep him healthy.

Great win after another matinee game type start. Harden finally contributed some scoring, but still had a pretty awful shooting game. Bench scoring 34-9 was the key for us. Big props to Zu for those clutch FTs.

Here's how it works: You've either got to do the BIG things [like 29 points or Zubac 14 pts/15 rebs, minus-5] or the little things [Coffey 9/6/1, team-best plus+18].

But you can't do neither one [Mann 6 points on 2-6 shooting, minus-9], which is why he got yanked after only 18 minutes.
