Charlotte Hornets vs. LA Clippers – Condensed Game
two sevenfooters and the tap is won by LA Clippers slow start out of the gate. Four and 11 lost big time to that one to feed to Collins. Little bit too strong. Here comes LaMelo ahead of the pack waiting on Brandon. Welcome back. Wow. Four-point plays James Harden. You break up the lob, throw it up. Lavell could have easily shot a layup. He said, “Here you go.” Hook shot made. He is playing a game that was invoked back in the 40s and the 50s. Oh my goodness. This happens all the time. Chance for a fourpoint play. That’s respect right there. No doubt. Ball pump shot clocks at one. Oh my goodness. Chicken salad for your birthday. Are you kidding? Hardness strips that away. Brandon knows I got to make something. Connele’s got it. Working against Kobe. Gets a nice screen by Col Brener. Turns around, hits his first shot. Very patient. Hornets need to play all their games here. 1:00 in the afternoon. Collins. Bridges blocks it away and a foul in the back court. Shoots another shot over the top of one hand. Harden steps into a triple one-handed rebound. Bridges got his head up. Hornets lead by six. Miles finds Cooper. Got to make him work right there. Miles goes right around him. Draws the big fella Zubac hard in it. You’d be looking for Zubat. Oh, Zubat with an offensive rebound. Dubots gets it back. Good golly. All right, Harden standard issue with his left hand. And now it’s the Hornets turn to call a timeout. Harden Zubat Collins done and Kobe Sanders. Learning moment for Piple guarding James Harden behind the line. Yeah, I mean he’s from North Carolina. Maybe a half because he’s retiring at the end of the year. That’d be it. McNeely swatted away by Lopez. Here comes the point guard. James Harden gives the assist to Chris Paul. When he finds a crease, he’s going to exploit that. He has all the shots in his bag. Long one. Lamelo got it from 6 ft behind the line. All right. So hard a chance for a personal record with a bucket this time down the floor. Oh my goodness. sizzling. 26 big ones. Look out. Will Chamberlain. LaMelo high up the window. What an answer. Chance for a three-point play for LaMelo. Clippers on. You’re into the floor. Look at hard right here. That is good D by Lamb. Stopped him from the drive. Didn’t have on the shot and it never hit the rim. And they look at LaMelo the creativity. Picks it up on one hand. Christy with a swooping right-handed hook shot. Wow. My goodness. Go down this one. Look at it. Look at his eyes right there. See, Bren says, “Uh-oh. How about going to get this over?” Swoop it off the glass. Has been updated yet. He’s got 35 right now with 308 remaining in our half. Dun right there. Post up. Zubot. Diabate keeps it with the locals. Unknable has never lost to the Hornets since leaving the Hornets. 11 straight wins. Miles Bridges beats the buzz scores are like 72 to 71. No gimmies in the assist category. Uh-oh. Kobe feeling it. Gosh. Isaiah Thomas. Oh, do you remember Isaiah Thomas for the three games he played as the Hornets? score the goal with a foul by Bridges. It’s a little screen right there. Peels right off. LaMelo sees done late on the switch. Bump shoulder to shoulder. Or only down by two. See if they can hold the fork. Collins. And Collins stronger than 10 rows of onions. Their pace, their muscle right now. Look at Collins just rip that down. Take the hit. Flip it up. Excellent stuff. I’ll put that on my notes. Uh Eric Collins wore number 20. Was that the only number you wore? Oh, no. Oh, no. No. Zubat backto back dunks for the Zman. That’s the third hammer for Ivita Zubat in our ball game. Welcome back everyone. He meets a Zubots. Been one of the better big men in the league for a while now. He’s got three dunks in our ball game. Couple of lefty jump hooks. Lotty Debots getting an array of shots including the hook. Musa, there’s a hook. Debots knew it was coming. Harden. Oh my goodness. Second time today he’s been fouled while running start for Miles. Field goals been hard to come for and is throwing the ball in any kind of rhythm. They go down against the Hornets. Colin Ston up and in the tomb now with 1,770 of their own along with Mason Plumbley. Lopez. Three-pointer for the veteran Lopez. Thought the one he took on the previous possession. He used to always say that the team to get to 100 wins the game 85% of the time. Flippers have just made it to 100 points. 102 to 82. hard say the same five that were on the floor a moment ago. Miller Brandon cooler than a milkshake in a snowstorm. Rhythm right there. Got into the mid-range game. Oh, Lopez. Brandon’s done everything he’s wanted to do in his first game back except hit a long shot. Brook Lopez the three-pointer. Brandon’s got 12 points still, but he’s open legs. That that’s always the last thing to come back. your rhythm. You come back, but right here it is. There’s his first three-pointer. I can tell he he had caught the ball. Look, Brandon right here. Christy over the top. Brandon, good jab step. Perfect rotation. Playing on his birthday. Come on. Oh my goodness. Brock Lopez brothers in the NBA. Wow. When did that start? I guess they allow that now. LaMelo for the goal. Kept that ball low and then got a little bit of I think it may stand the test of time. LaMelo’s running out of time. 72 games. Threepointer for Kobe Sanders. High IQ players. Canipple takes his time. Oh man, a thing of beauty. Harden whips it pass to Collins. Knocked away by Peterson. And LaMelo didn’t understand that Kobe Sanders was there. Collins with two hands. Zubat fantastic footwork. Brandon Miller. Oh yeah, this one. Seion James back into the game for the Hornets. Lelo, two more. Keep playing, Lelo. Got pump. Shot clocks at four. Crazy ability. Just crazy ability. Yeah, it’s he scored like this. The game’s kind of out of control here in the fourth. probably will check out mentally on the bench thinking these guys going, you know, they’ll they’ll they’ll finish the game up. He gets inserted back into the game, clicks it right back on and really nailing the coffin for the Clippers on that last three. Seion, he needed that to go through. First field goal of the game. It’s going to be a great game for Son. He’s from Atlanta, Georgia. Right. Sugar Hill. Wonder if the Sugar Hill game will show up. It is. There’s 50. James Harden with a half aund. I see coaching in his future if that’s what he wants to do. Oh my goodness. A Peterson can’t catch a break. Seems to charge us extra. Sexton up and in. Clint Capella. Keshan George now down to Washington. Those are the only NBA players from Switzerland. Steph Curry done it three times. Sorry every one of them. Ston wins the race down the floor. So congratulations to the Clippers in a battle of two teams with identical records. Both the Clippers and the Hornets 4 and 11. The Clippers win the race to 5 and 11. Hornets fall to 4 and 12.
