Couple plays that really stood out to me in 3rd quarter last night that started with Paul George, utilized Bones Hyland as a connector, and finished with Kawhi Leonard cashing out
First one is PG-Ivica Zubac pick-roll. LONG closeout for Alex Caruso.
Second is a mismatch fire.🍗 pic.twitter.com/XCkukZllg1 – 7:44 PM

Asked Tyronn Lue how he can get the Clippers to reduplicate the increased ball movement from last night against a strong Pelicans defense (plus Harden update)
T. Lue: “Our team knows the blueprint on both sides of the basketball. But we got to consistently do it every night.” pic.twitter.com/tzvNU4zUUv – 7:06 PM

When @JenHale504 asked T Lue tonight about Herb Jones defense
T Lue responded first by mentioning Herb 3-point shooting: 2.0 makes per game since Jan. 1, highest percentage (53.6%) of 201 players attempting at least 3.0 3s per game in that span. – 6:53 PM

Tyronn Lue says that James Harden (out, shoulder) is feeling better. But he’s not there yet.
Second straight absence after playing in 59 games in a row. Was on this trip, so next opportunity to play will be Sunday vs Hawks. – 6:35 PM

Something I’m watching for (there are many things but sharing this now…)
Clippers rank dead last in passes per game for season (253.1)
But last night
@SecondSpectrum tracked them for 283 passes.
Gonna need more of that pace and ball movement vs Pelicans defense – 6:30 PM

Kawhi and PG were 8 for 8 on non-paint 2s (midrange FGs) last night in Chicago
Clippers made 29 shots outside paint overall
Can’t expect to reduplicate that level of shooting on zero days rest and ending a 5-in-7 on road. Has to be a defensive mindset for four quarters – 6:13 PM

Pelicans lead the season series against the Clippers 2-1. A win tonight would allow Pelicans to clinch the head-to-head tiebreaker and move to 2 games back of Clippers for the 4th seed. Loss would put Pelicans 4 games behind Clippers with 16 games remaining. – 5:08 PM
