Clippers snap a 2 game losing streak to pick up a much needed victory in game 1 of a 9-game homestand.

Crawford.

we needed that spark tonight after we played the 3rd little piggy for most of the 1st quarter.

actually i would say the first half... specifically in the first quarter when we missed everything after DJ's dunk.

I'm probably the harshest critic of JC in here along with maybe Ranma, but this one was his, all the way.
ehhhhh f it.

I said that and then they finished the game with what….86 points?
42 in the 1st half for them, 44 in the second half.


maybe we just played great defense that night and the momentum of all those bricks in the 1st quarter made it seem like we didn't.



this part isn't directed at mj:
we scored 59 points in the 2nd half. nobody bailed us out of anything.

Our defense did look better but it was nowhere as good as the stats made it seem. The Warriors missed a lot of open shots, made unforced turnovers and were a bit unlucky with shots rimming out. The good news is we played a lot better defense compared to the last time we played them.
