Might need a Kawhi takeover game to win today.

feels like that was the first alley oop from paul george to kawhi in this team's history

i mean i literally don't remember that happening with these guys. goes to show you how few games they get together, and also how ill-matched they are to do such a thing

Some really sloppy play in the final minutes. Settling for bad shots. They need to make every possession count.

I completely forgot this was one of those weekend matinee games and missed the whole thing. Looks like a great and desperately-needed win, though! When was the last time we won one of these games this comfortably?

Alright, alright, good job getting the win on the back of the stars and with solid support from others.

Kawhi played 37 minutes tonight, George 40 mins. When I hear fans (of other teams usually) complaining about Kawhi being off on a back to back, I just laugh. We know his injury history. Kawhi in his last 24 games (including tonight) is playing 37 mpg. I'm totally fine with the team having him off on a back to back.

This one was a grind for the first 3 quarters. Props to PG and the 2nd unit for building that cushion while Kawhi is on the bench.

Monster game by MMSr, who not only solidified his role in the starting 5, but also the closing 5.

Took a look at the stats... I think the defense is really coming along now. Some real physical play which is always good. Knicks shot 36% vs Clips 48%. Turnovers under control too, both teams had 10. Got killed on the offensive boards, Knicks had 20!

PG had a near triple double with 22/8/8 and Kawhi had 38/4/2. If both are on, damn that is tough to beat.

But player of the game goes to Morris, had a career game putting up a monster 11/5/1.
