LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Full Highlights 2nd QTR | Jan 3 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

But it’s something the Suns thought they needed to do to be competitive wholesale changes speaking of which that timeout tyo coaches set very good of drawing up and after timeout play how able to knock it in good defense by coffee right there it does take some I think some guts to kind

Of revamp that roster after getting to the second round and and being in the finals just a few years before Leonard makes the pass to harden yeah but the new owner Matt ishia is all about putting his imprint and stamp on it like James Harden did on that three

And it’s a different philosophy different time you know fellow Big 10 guy who understands it in the midwest B has come in and made an impact but more importantly has brought the crowd along with him Clippers were out in front by 17 it’s 45-33 Phoenix has found some life here

In this second quarter they’re five of nine Clippers are four of five Clippers have a couple of turnovers here in the first four minutes Harden goes to work lets it Fly this one’s offline and keep our eyes on this too when they double team kawi Leonard is

Not immediately on the bounce as they Gordon shoot to Long three but it’s when he’s going into Attack Mode a great play there by AI constant Hustle but late in the clock now for Gordon very comfortable at distance this time drives gives to metu clean look at

A three no and finally Kawhi Leonard able to sink his Talons into the loose ball ahead to Powell spins Trippers able to kind of reset the offense here after the transition did not work Harden from the line to the Lane collides with a Ki a whistle offensive foul will go against the

Former Arizona State sundevil yeah I thought for a minute James may be able to get away with it but once he leans in right there that got it and uh Sean Corbin the official right there didn’t get fooled by that one first foul on Harden Clipper

Still out in front by 12 730 to play here in this first half these two teams play again on Monday it will be a back toback for the Clippers as they play the Lakers on Sunday after a trip to the French Quarter on Friday against the Pelicans metsu loses the ball it’s Ty

Who leads the show maybe got away with a carry finds Leonard on the wing for three bucket for Kawai Leonard it’s his first points and they’re big it puts the Clippers the Amalfi Coast did he say if he stopped by Jim Jackson spot theal Coast or was it

Mikos or Creed I’m not sure which spot is the question wh foul counted for Grayson Allen if you’re not reading Andrew gri every morning after a Clipper game are you really a Clipper fan Andrew does such a wonderful job with that article as Patrick alluded to is 10 out

Of 10 on Norman Powell should have knew I was in Capri at the time so we got to go back and report that I don’t even know where Capri is you don’t no this you as a journalist a major I don’t know those kinds of things Allan misses on

The free throw and Harden has the rebound it sounds expensive no comment po between the Rings 630 640 maker part to play here Bullet Pass in from Harden deflected intercepted Clippers have been a little loose with the basketball here in this first half yeah got to tighten it up little bit too

Easy at times in Allen able to get the Ste and Bradley Bill using that pick and rope getting to the mid-range you think about mid-range between bill you know Booker and Durant and then Kawai says okay you went mid-range let me step it out just a little bit further but his second three

Of the quarter he’s got six in the game Clippers by 14 beel back the other way he’s been very active goes to the rim and lays it in that’s what a healthy Bradley Bill brings to the table right there and that’s why it makes guarding this Phoenix seem kind of

Like the Clippers team with their big three a challenge every night floater by Harden hit short and a be hug rebound inside by nerkish the problem is the sun’s coming into tonight as Beal steps into a three in transition and b ball able to get the loose ball

It’s up for grabs again kaai pokes it free and it goes back to Norman Powell Clippers looking to push Harden the other [Applause] way swings it over to pow open for three and lets it Fly offline seeing we coming into tonight the Suns have played over the team is a

Whole 1600 minutes give or take only 4% of those minutes have been with be Booker and Durant on the floor they have just not been healthy but there is a long Runway more than half the season remains F loses again Powell coffee to the rim no rebound a foul I

Believe it’ll be Leonard going to the free throw line they going to see the foul the vitim of the foul was a mere coffe Frank vogle challenges this he’s he’s looking at his bench right now Kawai active hands like we saw in the first quarter twice and able to get out let’s

See he got out the way I don’t believe a challenge is coming here [Applause] Noir coffee misses on the first of two the piz zubot will check in you know you were talking about the minute of the big three kind of not playing together we’ve been through it where you know times when

Kawai you know PG were not on the court because of injuries and trying to develop continuity and when it was going to happen and boy it takes some time man how you plan out of season at the beginning sometimes doesn’t work according to that plan Allen just inside half court gets

Downhill on coffee tries to wrap it inside to nerkish ball knocked out of bounds by nerkish and it goes back to the Clippers George return for LA and here’s the lineup that Patrick O’Neal was talking about Terrence man James Harden Evita zubot Paul George oh actually Paul takes a Powell takes a

Seat oh yeah cers have two of the best lineups in the league when you interchange Paul Powell and Terence M he brings something totally different to the table but yet are very effective what they do here comes that double team with kaai and Leonard draws uh the

Contact the whistle stops the clock 436 to play here of the second quarter once again I mean with with guys like Kaw Leonard and Paul George if you’re going to double team you got to switch things up cuz if they get comfortable they can begin to pick you apart and I can see

Kawai getting more comfortable knowing where that double team especially is coming off of the elbow once he goes into Attack Mode no Kevin Durant tonight out with a hamstring injury second consecutive game that he has missed George despite all the injuries and absences they’ve won their last four

Games a pretty long home stand right now Hardon mid-range jumper it is good James Harden now with five points but six assists or 21 to play here in the first half delay a game against first well that this play works because look where Paul George is at kada Bates

Diab can’t help in as much that opens that little slot Gap James able to use that big body and Grayson Allen’s been playing great defense too I mean so don’t get it twisted he can play some
