LA Clippers vs Charlotte Hornets Full Highlights 1st QTR | Dec 26 | 2023 NBA Regular Season

Hardon on the wing can he do it again he’s been very active here I thought James was really tired in Oklahoma City and against the Celtics comes away with an interception back the other way leading the break to zoo whistle and a foul hor basketball Clippers holding on to a one-point lead

Just to put a button on it and the reason why I say you throw the appearance man he can see the ball go through he ran the court not saying it was a bad play by James hard but just to get him to feel good about himself to see a basard go through

Early how about how about feeling good about himself there then draws the foul from Bridges just scoring as a way to get his himself on the court well we’ve said this before and it’s worth repeating every game nobody has had their role changed over the last few

Years more than Terren man and nobody has thrived in all of those changes like Terren man and despite kind of the the shooting numbers that you’ve seen he is a massive piece for the Clippers look at the record and when he got into that starting lineup that’s when the Clippers

Win on their nine game winning streak whistle foul speak of the devil then he then he gets give we’ll give him that we’ll give him one we’ll give him [Applause] one you can see 15 and five there’s so many other numbers that you can look at behind the scenes kind

Of under the hood that just kind of further stamp him being in there Heyward coming off the screen misses rebound goes to Zoo heard a nice Ovation why well Russell Westbrook is in the game as tyoo is able to kick back to more of a traditional rotation bringing Harden out

Midway through the first quarter the last couple of games Harden has been playing well into the three to the two-minute Mark and Harden comes out then he plays the entire second quarter he looks a lot more rested than he did in the last couple of ball games Westbrook to inbound Cody Martin

Checks In Martin has struggled with injuries we talk about it at nauseum here with the Hornets it’s been unfortunate after they were really good a couple years ago they just have not been healthy they forced a turnover and now they’re looking to push PJ Washington down the lane and down the

Hatchet goes a couple of Subs coming in and making an immediate impact yeah well that’s why deflections are such a key and a lot of teams keeps tabs on that because that deflection led to a steel open cord fast break for Charlotte a whole line change essentially ish Smith world champion ish

Smith is out there spent some time with Denver last year this is his second Tour of Duty with the Hornets Clippers Miss Hornets rebound Here Comes Martin the other way crosses over George to Lang hands nope rebound goes to Coffey you know is Smith is my favorite player why

Is that Jim cuz he holds R team play for in the NBA that’s why Brook knocks down a tough one-legged jumper I think G Smith is he’s a real player no he forces the pace and changes it he has bounced around but I think every team that’s hadam loves him and I

Wonder if it’s not a similar situation a contractual situation like how you were bouncing around as Smith knocks down the jumper well you know what was funny I was listening to him at the beginning of the season on um XM radio and he talked about that he wasn’t sure he was playing

This year and then he got the call about going to Charlotte last minute oh respect the drip coffee flashes it in Big Time [Applause] Finish Washington back the other way forces the issue and gets his second bucket I mean you can see the Charlotte team I mean they they got some guys that can put it in the basket they’ve been able to respond keep the crowd out of it a little bit consistently here early now

They struggle at times of holding that but they’re very good fourth quarter team Smith buzzes beneath the net comes up firing and knocks it down I did give when a Denver lash I gave him a hug and said thank you I love you my my question is what does he do

With all the gear that he has because you know as Westbrook knocks down a three we are spoiled here with tons of gear you know he’s got an entire garage full of wizards and pistons and give it away now he got to be selected you got

He’s a little shorter so you got you got well there’s more of V audience there that’s what I’m saying that’s why you got to be selected like who you give it to five to shoot for Smith he’s already got a couple of buckets rises in the mid-range good contest by Westbrook and

Zoo comes away with a rebound we’re tied at 20s rppers eight of 17 Hornets 10 of 16 ball knocked out of bounds goes back to the Hornets time now for Drive L brought to you by Hyundai well it is your favorite player recognized him and

Went over to say hello I got a chance to talk to Russell this morning he’s doing well still he’s a great awesome spirit so on behalf of clipper Nation I just want to tell you Russell have a very happy and healthy 2024 awesome stuff Christina Russell thank you for sharing

Your story with us and we’re all with you and congratulations that’s an awesome story 210 to play here in this first quarter Hornets out in front by four another turnover Clippers well they might be rested but they are not sharp here and give credit to the Hornets they

Are taking advantage of it another giveaway this is been rough finish here in this first quarter bridges for three by the way all the points for Charlotte in the paint yeah all of them maybe too much turkey yesterday for our guys a little bit got to shake it off get that focus and

Concentration back there you go see when you don’t turn it over over Brian we’ve seen this with the scer team is so effective and efficient in their half court offense no more trip to fan six turnovers in the first quarter for the Clippers Washington hesitates on the

Three rings the rim and Westbrook leaps for the rebound CL look at a time maybe take the lead with a triple James Harden is out there so Kyo not necessarily merried to that rotation without Kawhi Leonard so Harden is usually start of the second quarter is back out there

With the last couple of minutes has to go to work on Washington seven to shoot down the lane mug the whistle he’ll go to the line for two the difference with James from when he first came in and I talked about this too also when we first

Got into the show is now he’s in basketball shape he couldn’t get past guys like that that easily at the beginning because he you know he was working himself in now you can see a little bit more of that quickness off the dribble to be able to get by his

Initial Defender that causes so much Pro so many problem problem for the defense from James Harden to Sweet James not all personal injury law firms are the same experience counts results matter if your case is important to you call us now for a free consultation that’s a tight transition

To that read right there I mean that was quick too you did it without even thinking about it I had a couple of days off Jim I’m focused I’m recalibrated it’s been great what hor it look very good and as Jim pointed out they played the Nuggets very

Well if it wasn’t for a third quarter which they scored only nine points they may have come away with a win Cody Martin good contest by Westbrook better shooting for Martin he knocks it down just his second game only played seven last year with a knee injury and now the

Hornets are out in front 27 to 24 the Clippers play their cards right they can go two for one here Harden is aware he’s hit two threes in and out roier with a leaping rebound for the Hornets for is the issue down the lane not their rebound Vol the shot clock is turned off the Clippers are down by three nine of 19 shooting the Hornets 13 of 26 and again with the exception of one three-pointer all of their buckets are in the paint they are seventh in the

League in that category Harden goes to work here’s the handles here’s the drop to the RAM and in Harden with 10 first quarter points and good defense there Terry roier wants to protect his field goal percentage Clippers Trail by one at the end of one
