Clippers maintain off late surge by Toronto to choose up fourth consecutive win

The Clippers have performed 4 video games in seven days. In 10 video games this season, they’ve performed three units of back-to-backs.

Earlier than Saturday’s sport towards the Toronto Raptors, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue advised his gamers they’ll’t afford to purchase into their circumstances.

Regardless of blowing a 14-point lead, the Clippers put Lue’s phrases into motion and overcame James Harden and Norman Powell lacking key free throws down the stretch in a 105-103 victory on the Intuit Dome that prolonged their successful streak to 4 video games.

Harden had 24 factors however missed a free throw with 28.7 seconds left, forcing the Clippers to cling to a two-point lead.

Powell had 24 factors however missed a free throw with 35.5 seconds left. He then missed one other one with 8.1 seconds left that stored it a one-possession sport.

However the Clippers held on after Toronto’s Jakob Poeltl missed a nine-foot putback after he deliberately missed a free throw with 6.2 seconds left. Ivica Zubac grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Harden, who threw the ball the size of the courtroom as time expired.

Earlier than the sport, Lue inspired his gamers to proceed taking part in stellar protection and to do a greater job of taking good care of the basketball.

“Just being mentally tough,” Lue stated. “Can’t give into fatigue. You can’t give into the schedule. Just take it one game at a time.”

Although the Clippers are one of many high defensive groups within the NBA, Lue stated they might be higher if they didn’t enable transition factors off turnovers.

Coming into Saturday, the Clippers have allowed a mean of 106.7 factors per sport, the second-best mark within the NBA. The Clippers rank fourth in defensive score (107.9).

However the Clippers are also giving up 16.3 turnovers per sport, tied with Toronto for the second-worst mark within the league coming into Saturday.

“If we just take care of the basketball, I think a lot of nights we’ll be able to win games because we’re getting shots on goals,” Lue stated. “But if you are having 19, 20 turnovers every night, it’s hard to win those games because your defense has to be elite, which it has been so far. But we can’t continue to lay our hat on our defense every single night and turn the ball over, letting teams get out, get easy points in transition. … If we get to that 10, 12 range, I mean, we are a different team.”

The Clippers turned the ball over 12 instances towards the Raptors.

And so they constructed a double-digit lead for the tenth straight sport — and as soon as once more, the Clippers let that lead slip.

And so on: Lue was requested if Kawhi Leonard, who hasn’t performed this season due to irritation in his proper knee, would journey with the Clippers on their three-game journey that opens Monday towards Oklahoma Metropolis. He was quick along with his reply.

“Uh, no,” Lue stated.
