LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Full Highlights 1st QTR | Jan 3 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

That playoff series and comes ahead with these two teams they could very well be back in the postseason together Clippers are looking very good 17 and five going back to the middle part of November they win the tap they’ll have to start the fourth quarter George on Booker some history

There seven to shoot for George works it into the corner to Terrence man free for three bucket for Terrence man important I truly believe no Kevin Durant you know what Clippers need to get off to an outstanding starts and you saw it right there Paul George

And Booker kind of going at it early Booker the runner he’s good for that position I don’t know if he always Banks them in but he’s very efficient from around the free throw line yeah when you’re that good you can shoot a runner Banker from 15 ft no problem he’s

Putting up big numbers 26 7 and five we’ll talk about his playoff performance against the Clippers a little later on turnover for the Clippers Here Comes Brad Beals playing in just his 10th game Grayson Allen has been a sniper from Beyond misses everything there and kawh Lard has the

Rebound Allen has been very solid a 50 4090 effort so far in the season Terren pump fake it’s around Beal giant steps into the paint hangs but can’t hit nkas with a rebound but I like the aggressive nature that time by Terence man despite not getting the basket and speaking of

Aggressive CB field misses that good de by Zo bounce ahead to Terrence to the cup and he’s taken all three shots for the Clippers he’s got all five points as well yeah but all three great shots the open three the drive to the basket and that time off of outstanding defense the

Clips are able to get out in transition maybe that’ll give him a little confidence beel look at his numbers on the season just nine games played not averaging a ton of points yet but has shot the ball very well coming into this game 18 of

His last 29 what you said this look 49% from the field 39% from behind the arc and that’s in nine games so it’s just a small snippet asz we know how potent he could be offensively tough shot for Leonard good box out by Zoo extended possession for Paul George ACC

Company zoo goes at nkit awkward shot nkit comes away with a [Applause] rebound Booker mentioned it earlier he’s been in a bit of a shooting slop nice pass inside to nurkic surrounded by Defenders but you have to feel the poers do for a big game nurkic back the other way the two

Centers missing the last two shots kawhai back the other Way Harden side step three it is short running rebound taken by poer poked ahead Leonard over shoulder grab here come the Clippers once again man on the Wing free for three holds the Finish but it doesn’t help but the rebound goes to metu and the Suns Booker now back to Beal shot clock at 10 now F under duress here penetrates and pitches metu getting his fourth star of the Season misses everything and Harden right place right time for the rebound an excellent CL out by poor Paul George right into the body of metu not allowing him any space to get up that

Bell out three-point shot at into the clock George EES into the three and knocks it down Clippers out in front eight to four Pace get it up quick after a stop we saw it last game in regards that when you attack early you may not

Have it on the initial you may get a quick shot but you may have an advantage offensively against a defense that’s not set Booker again from the foul line and again delivers I mentioned him struggling a little bit his last two games just 11 for 33 Booker now two for

Two yeah four for 16 in the last game and that sometimes is a sign of an OM speaking of which Paul George aggressive ear cuz dein Booker look he said listen the game is going to come to me the shots are going to fall we just don’t

Want it to be this this evening we mentioned there’s a little history between Booker and George that goes back to the 21 playoffs those two are the ones taking over the center stage right now whistle offensive foul against the Suns well speaking of which Paul George

Into kawhai the double team is going to come Paul’s able to walk right into that spot up three and then the second one now you come off a screen metsu tries to cheat the screen got to pay attention to that SC scouting your poor young man Paul can step back and knock that

In Leonard gets a big screen from Zoo he goes below the foul line not there and the rebound belongs to Phoenix Clippers four for 10 but three of five from above the arc meanwhile the Suns three for seven metu on the wing free for three himself and knocks it

Down chamei metu with his 14th three of the season brings the Suns to with into two this is his 30th start of his NBA career filling in for Kevin Durant another three for Terence man and it finds the bottom Terrence with a couple of Threes in the first quarter yeah outstanding

Spacing that time on the drive by James Harden that time Terence man was able to get right into his fight line another open three created by James Booker strong drive and great finish inside he’s a tough [Applause] customer Harden picked up by Grayson Allen into George down the lane high off the window counted on a foul points Clippers do very well when he has double figures seven and one on the season nkic inside they wipe it away and I believe the foul on the floor

Will B against de zubas while Terence in transition rust able to get it up but that’s why you follow things up and that’s why you push the ball because the advantage at that time no one was there from the Suns to block out Terence Manning smartly at a no put the ball and

Knocked it in nice pass by Booker good finish Inside by Grayson Allen and a bit of a a breakdown for the Clippers on the inbound you know what it is though but Terrence has to jump to the inside and force the pass to go back out to half

Court once you jump to the outside that opens it up for that pass well Clipper fans that were with us back in the day they are all too familiar with that inbound pass in that exact quarter in the playoffs back in 2000 and six here’s Leonard back to George for three it’s G

Again Paul George with a dozen that’s his third three and the Clippers jump out 22-13 with 510 to play in the first quarter deflection by man foot race with Booker and it’s Terren that comes away with it Clippers on the prowl George into Zoo met by nurkic inside does some

Nice footwork and lays it in and the Clippers look extremely sharp here on the first seven minutes well it’s not just the offense is the aggressive nature especially at the point of attack on def up and scanning as the Clippers on a 10 to2 run only two players scored

Before that last bucket by AIT zubot as R goes crashing into the rim a whistle a foul he’ll dust himself off and go to the strike but two things and I said this and I talked about it at the top one C Clippers need to get off to an

Outstanding start check second part of that is that they can’t take their foot off the gas because this Phoenix team too potent of a scoring team to get back into it first of two for Russ fall and now a quick word from Jack of the

Box by Jack WS are just 329 so they’re practically free not literally free but practically go back to game one Clippers Sons Russell Westbrook with two massive free throws for the Clippers and that I believe was after the play of the game the block and then the save on dein

Booker he continued to just push and push he wasn’t having a great shooting night but made the biggest two play of the game here’s Allen inside no rebound goes to nkit hands it off to bit the up what Rim protection by a zubot multiple efforts that time by Big Zoo to protect the Paint Leonard backing down on Booker draws a double team nice pass by Russ From the Block Zoo a little bit in trouble so are the Clippers it’s a deep three for man and Russ right place right time once again as such a nose for the Ball man against Booker and in how about 12 first quarter points for Terrence man and the Clippers on a 14-2 run outstanding patience that time by Terrence man in the key Booker trying to take matters into his own hands misses on a three’s shooting that very well this year George

The other way he’s got a few threes already Crossing blades with Booker pull up from the foul line oh it goes for Paul George he’s a perfect five for five and the Clippers lead 30 to
