LA Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Full Highlights 1st QTR | Jan 14 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

As well but the Clippers have been very capable at that Center Spot all season long well we’ll see now what happens whether or not Minnesota tries to go right at Daniel tys early on get early fouls on him you got to get him out of

The game ball is up game is on Wolves win the tap they’ll have it to start the fourth quarter as well big match up here between two of the best in the Western Conference and as James Harden has been one to do seeming shoulders Harden’s defense has been impressive for the Clippers Anthony

Edwards he is the real deal picked up by Terrence man and a shot clock violation to start it off as the Clipper and then the buzz went off first possession for the Clippers first game for kawhai Leonard here at Target Center since February 2021 late in the clock for Ty flings a

Three welcome to the starting line of Daniel Ty as the Clippers draw First Blood Ty is going to make that big man Rudy goar come out guard him if there was one play to have happen that would be a real blessing for the Clippers it truly would be a Tice three

To start things off could alter the way that Rudy goar attacks Conley’s been so good for the Timberwolves misses there Clippers get the rebound ran we should be seeing five white jerseys going to those defensive board to stop the offensive rebounds by Minnesota George turns and fires over

The top of Edwards in and out rebound batted out of bounds by Terence man and it goes back to Minnesota take a ton of them but he’s making a percentage that you have to honor the fact that he makes his first one here tonight is big for the Clippers BG now guarding

Towns switching up the looks and then towns throws it away and it goes right back to the Clippers three possessions for Minnesota two turnovers it’s so important that you pressure the passer you don’t want him to get a clean look at what’s going on behind so obviously

Putting pressure on the ball leads to passes like like that pocket pass into Ty through his hands good look there by Harden and Edwards comes back the other way both of these teams might look to operate a little bit more in transition than normally why well the half court

Defense for both teams is next level Clippers get the stop again wolves are scoreless George is alone on the wing for Three hard into the late in the clock for Terren man it’s a clean look both teams trying to feel each other out they’re combine one for seven you saw no one Ro rotate to Terrence man they are daring him to shoot that shot they can because he has shot the ball

Very well of late Edwards just a little average in the mid-range but he gets to Timberwolves first bucket and use the glass to knock it in wolves com off a Gauntlet of a schedule playing 16 consecutive games against plus 500 teams and they they did

Very well they went N9 and seven in that stretch Leonard into the paint wants a whistle not going to get it finally does who said he really open some eyes he’s an alpha dog he is the real deal and he is a big game performer so despite his

Struggles against the Clippers I suspect he’ll have one here tonight for the Clippers who do lead five to2 Edwards swings it to Towns now the three by McDaniels is good we’re tied up at fives that’s a big front line Minnesota has McDaniel just made that shot goes 69 69 and the half

And you have seven footer then 71 and go be so that’s it’s a huge front line foul goes George comes off the screen from Ty and goar has the rebound George 0 for three well was he good against Memphis 18 shots in route to 37 for Paul

George strong drive by Edwards using all of his bra to get to the rim and you saw Paul George trying to force him to go to that left hand he opened up maybe a little bit too much I’m talking about Paul George in his stance and that gave

Edwards the quick drive to the basket man attacks on towns n to shoot Maron left alone provokes a three it’s offline rebound goes to [Applause] Edwards Edwards against man draws a double towns he can shoot it from there as good of a three-point shooter at that position as we may have seen in the League 41% this season no question is it just an outstanding terrific shooting big man cers ball behind 10 to

Five kaai Leonard gets his first bucket he’s got four C it lead to three most of the times the Clippers are using whoever goar is guarding his man to set the screen because Rudy lays back that gives you a chance to come off the screen what about the travel right there it’s going

To be the third turnover for Minnesota ball goes back to Clippers 708 to play in the first see the defensive rating the difference between one and two is about the same as it is from two all the way to 13 in the league that’s how good Minnesota has been Leonard tries to

Exploit it takes it to the rack but misses goar may have altered the shot McDaniels Conley he’s a wizard in the corners little brother at this point and there’ve been some playful banter over the years as they’re both checking in and Carl Anthony Town’s trying to get

Some edway in the series right now the Clippers kind of up against it Minnesota on an 11 to2 run they they hit their last five shots Clippers Trail by six Hardon against goar for three wide left Terren man skies for the rebound with goar out of the [Applause]

Picture for to shoot for George a step away 21 footer short he’s 0 for four from the field Clippers now two for 10 I I I would say that right now the Clippers have not taken the best shots that they can get and that’s what Minnesota’s defense does to people they

Make you take shots that are not your normal shots they make you rush on shots and that guy right there can really shoot it the Big Man call Anthony towns 43 in the first quarter for Minnesota they are the sixth best three-point shooting team but they only take the

24th fewest threes they don’t take a ton it’s a 14-2 run now for the Wolves they’ve hit six consecutive shots Kawai misses wolves rebound and that was goar out there guarding kawhai that Long Reach of his always challenging the shots McDaniels intercepted by Harden Ty in the corner as a center

Should do on The Fast Break watches the corner three and misses not the way you had your fast break designed I remember that towns this time on Leonard they have certainly switched up the coverages on Carl Anthony towns this time he drives out kawhai the floater is short rebound

Goes to Ty this is the way they want to push it we heard Ty l in the press conference say they want to get it down the floor before that Minnesota defense can set up hard goes ISO on towns tied up on the way up over the NBA over the

Last 6 weeks it’s going to be tested here there’s no question hard misses the second free throw and and during the course of the game Let’s watch for those turnovers from Minnesota because they have been played in uh a number of games with a lot of turnovers the first go small Nas Reed

Off the Bench for Minnesota he is as big of a fan favorite maybe as there’s been in the last 20 years knocks down the tray it’s 19 to8 Minnesota here in the first quarter Westbrook drives on Anderson George there to recover McDaniels deflex it and takes it away ERS look out of

Sorts as they try to figure out this game this Elite level defense from Minnesota McDaniels probes the lane it’s 218 wolves and a timeout for Minnesota
