This game went to the wire and required the seat belts to be fastened. Thankfully, the boys in blue pulled out the victory with some late game heroics.

As well as Thornton played (Kaman too), this has to go to Baron for his performance in the clutch.

Baron is the leader of this team. Anytime he plays like it, I give it to him.

I really like how Thornton played, but Baron hit the 3 to basically win it for us
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Baron gets it as usual when he puts up these kind of numbers but I really like how Thornton & Rush played down the stretch.

Baron who was playing through some discomfort, but really wanted the victory. He made many key plays and came out the hero in the clutch. I went with Al though. Al had his best game of the season so far and was active on the offensive boards. I don't care for the stat, but he was also the only starter with a positive +/-. He didn't have a perfect game, but it was brilliant compared to what we have seen from him the majority of this season.

Real talk. Baron needs to be our closer in the 4th. That's were we have struggled this whole season. I have to give kudos to Rush and Thornton also. Rush may have earned himself some more minutes this season with his willingness to play to defense. Even though Thornton's jumper wasn't falling he finished around the rim, and and huge rebounds late in the game. Overall good win for the Clip Ship. 8-)

As much as I hate to say it, I give it to Baron. This is what he's supposed to be doing, especially down the stretch. If he keeps it up I may have to jump off the "i hate baron" bandwagon.

If I had to give the game ball it would be down to these 3 players:
Baron Davis for basically balling it up in the whole game and showing the clipper faithful he can be our leader.
Al Thornton for actually showing up and playing to his potential. Thank you al for banging on the glass all nite. Terrific perfomance by AL.
Chrs Kaman for doing what he has been doing all season score over 20 a game and getting his usual rebound numbers.

Star of the Game: Baron Davis (He is the Leader of the Clippers)

Have to give it to Baron. Its one of the few times since moving to the Clippers I have actually seen him busting his ass and looking really emotionally involved in the game instead of just being passive and jacking the odd 3 ball.
