LA Clippers vs Portland Trail Blazers Full Highlights 3rd QTR | Mar 20 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

PE well Harden was outstanding in that second quarter and Brian Shaw told me that led the Blazers to start picking up their pressure on him he said started picking him up full court we got to handle that better he also said the Clippers need to lock in better on

Anthony Simons he said overall if you missed the first half it’s it definitely makes you feel better and what we saw against Atlanta and again I understand where the Blazers are in the standings George misses on the first shot of the second half and the Blazers clear it i’

Say they were two guys they want to concentrate on one who would be Simons Anderson misses badly there coffee with a rebound George leaks out Henderson plays the role of free safety and comes away with the interception Henderson was like that defensive back who stepped in there to intercept that

One was a quarterback in high school he says that’s where he gets his vision for passing eighton misses rebound goes to Kawai and I was saying two guys Simons five of eight Murray six of nine minute gone by in this third quarter George musling his way down nice pass inside to

Zoo able to get it off but not able to get it in eight affecting it just a little bit Simons had it going late in that second quarter eighton lays it in there for points seven and [Applause] eight [Applause] Harden for three in and out rebound goes to eighton Clippers nine of 19 from above the AR a good sign considering how they have shot the ball over the last 18 games or so Leonard with the steel gives to Coffee hangs and hits kawh gave it to him at just the

Right time so he could go up with his right hand if he wanted to instead came up on the other side with that left hand coffee is a southpaw for those wondering under 10 to play here in the third Clippers out in front by [Applause] 10 misses everything rebound goes to

George head on a swivel as he brings it across half [Applause] court just driving his way down the lane zoo with the rebound and the putb power moves inside Paul George going slow motion taking those long strides trying to take the contact just missed lowers that center of gravity in those powerful legs

Of his turnover Here Comes Harden the other way coffee is ahead with Simons to beat awkward Simons now six of nine from the field in his last nine games has been averaging almost nine three-pointers attempted George collides with 90 4 from above the arc it’s a very good

Percentage I highlight only the attempts he is not bashful from distance and he shoots it at a very high rate 39% Leonard spins into the paint Fades and fires halfway [Applause] down nice pass to Aon Henderson kicks it right back over to the Clippers now George ahead to

Zoo back to Kawai does not have numbers do to draw the contact they wipe the shot [Applause] away lob to Leonard with Henderson on him Henderson didn’t know where kawhai was he plays a little peekaboo and comes up on the other side he felt him jump up

Over he was Wonder of he had gone completely over him and maybe never came down Anderson slings up a three it is good for scoot Henderson he now has eight I don’t know what Henderson is is he a a one is he a two is he a combo guard down the

Road I like him I would say he’s a point guard if he’s a two guard he’s going to have to really work on that scoring Leonard dribbles off these Defenders foot Clippers shooting 52% from the field overall but just three of nine here in the third energy has been good

It it does make me feel a lot better after the brutal game that was against the Atlanta Hawks Leonard up the other [Applause] way what a save by Harden plenty of time to shoot for the Clippers big screen for Zoo Kawai Giants steps inside the touch

Counted and a foul toal of 2021 when kawh Leonard was [Applause] out Anderson in case you wonder C was have shot two free throws in the game thus far pass deflected and recovered by Harden just five for the Blazers block and it’s blocked I don’t know what the

Crowds on about was a go Henderson blocked by Zoo recovered by Harden ahead to Leonard Kawai down the lane and lays it in the int the style of play but it’ll certainly be something to pay attention to over the last couple of weeks it’s good stuff and nobody is

Happier about it than one Mike forell because now he has his dinner reservations fully intact as air coffee takes us to Higher Grounds I hope you just notice okay very strategic move there trapping Simons get the ball out of his hands turnover fast break layup Midway through the third Clippers out in

Front 74 to 58 deflection and Simons is hunted by Kawai who tears it oh my goodness I was seen coach forell jump in if you have it something further the focus has been very sharp for the Clippers here and that is something that I feel has been lacking over the past

Two three 4 weeks happy about this you’re loving it Hardon gets downhill turns the corner wraps it around to zoo deflected out of bounds last touched by the blaz what a pass inside to Coffee who lays it in moving well without the ball 11 assists for James Harden the mere coffee now

With eight one of the things they worked on at shoot around today was they’re out of bounds [Applause] Play Simons driven off the line pulls up in the mid-range not there rebound Voli around and it goes back to eighton zoo on Simons pass deflected recovered by the Clippers Leonard Off to the Races with the defense in his rear view and he punches it in and kawi

Leonard on a mission here in the third he gets his hands and arms and those passing L comes up with steals over and over again flippers get another stop they’ve out scored the Blazers 21 to 10 here in the third Harden accelerates Kawai catch and shoot three

Rebound back to to harden checks the scams and now drives the lane coffee Rhythm dribble for three bu it a big time quarter for the Clippers they are out in front 84 to 60 Tucker back on the floor for the Clippers Banton plays back to Jabari Walker and lays it in to momentarily

Halt the Clippers momentum but you’re just joining us you’ve missed a very focused high energy game yes we understand the Blazers are not threats to win the championship but the Clippers haven’t looked like a team that has play with much focus and now that is changing here tonight and Ka called the offensive

Foul got to keep that intensity now for these last three and a half minutes Clippers would love a starter this fourth quarter Banton great defense by Leonard wreath in trouble seven to shoot Simons can shoot from anywhere lethal inside the logo takes his attack to the block PJ

Tucker clears it for the Clippers [Applause] Harden accelerates lobs it up draws the contact he’ll go to the line for
