Clippers vs. Nets

[mkwest]

Thornton somehow made it passed the half court line. KTLA doesn't show the clock but it was close.

[mkwest]

Maggette goes to the line and knocks them both down to make it an 8 point game. 1:08 to go.

[SD2042]

Clips-112
Nets-104

[mkwest]

Mobley makes it a 10 point lead 116-106 with 44.3 to go.

[SD2042]

Clips-116
Nets-106

Sam adds 2 more for 20pts and Maggs has 31pts.

[mkwest]

Clippers Win 120-107 in overtime!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kaman was pulled and rightfully so but did not the triple double or the franchise record for blocks. Still 9 is a career record and very impressive. Player of the game is a tossup between Maggette and Juice. Maggette with 31 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and only 1 turnover in 34 minutes of play. That includes going to the locker room with a sore knee. Al Thornton with 22 points in 25 minutes. Much of that coming from 4th quarter play where Al took the game into his own hands. Mobley was clutch with his free-throws. Cassell had 20 points & 6 assists. Although they should have had this game in regulation, they came through with a strong performance in overtime. They made the stops early and scored on the offensive end, putting the Nets quickly in a hole.

Another win under our belts, we've been playing much better. Now it's time to get our revenge against Utah on Moday. Have a great rest of the weekend guys.

Thornton definately played well on the offensive end tonight with 22pts. Maggs and Sam I Am both combined for 53pts. Kaman played solid tonight with 10pts, 12rebs, and 9 blocks. I wish though the Clips rebounding numbers were better. 54-40 the Nets outrebounded the Clips, but the hugh win is what matters. And the Clips swept the Nets this season.

I almost forgot how much I love OVERTIME! Good thing the guys reminded me. Early on, I didn't think the Clippers had the Juice to pull it off (ha, get it...Juice??? Anyway...). I love how Dunleavy pulled Thomas in favor of Thornton for the majority of the 4th...Al is the TRUTH! He's gonna be fun to watch runnin alongside Shaun Livingston one of these days. Great win. Well deserved, the Nets put the pressure on but we perservered.

To steal a phrase from my man Ralph Lawler, we get to pick on some teams our own size for a little while. For as well as we have played against the better teams in the league, I expect the Clips to keep it up against the likes of Sacramento, Charlotte, Atlanta, etc. I just wanna see that number in the W column get bigger.

But for now.....WE WON! Woo

I forgot to include the rebounds in my post after getting excited over the team's play in overtime. The Clippers gave up far too many O-Boards (20) which resulted in 24 second chance points. We had 17 second chance points off of 10 offensive rebounds, so I supposed it could have been worse but still far too many to give up. Boone & Williams combined for 13 alone.

I just saw the highlights on the NBA Daily --- what a splendid way for the game to end.
Kaman continues to impress --- I'm so glad that he has the key to his focus now with this neurofeedback. It surely does give the team a boost.
And Thornton was amazing. Bodes very well for the future.
Couldn't have done it without Maggette's scoring, either.
Congratulations to all the guys on this win.

Was not able to watch the second half and OT of the game ...but from what you guys have said, it seems like the Clipps were overmatching the Nets. Kaman with 9 blocks . Maggs with 31 and Thornton with 22 (either him or Thomas had to have a good game in order to win, and I would call this a pretty damn good game from Thornton).

Good job Clipps!
