Interesting that Ty Lue changed his approach to Luka. For the 1st 3.5 qtrs instead of his regular switching man to man, he went with a delayed double team that was very effective. Then for some reason he stopped doing and tried to guard Luka with one man, and got cooked again. – 2:21 AM

@AndrewGreif
After LAC lost a 5th straight, Norm Powell made himself heard in the locker room.
“This team is deeper than the Raptors team I was on,” he said. “It’s all about identity and who we are and how we’re going to play.”
Tuesday is how they want to play:

Mavs have GOT to figure out the 2nd qtrs. In their last 3 losses to BOS, OKC & LAC, they’ve been outscored 35-26, 36-21 & 38-22 to trail by 18, 14 & 22 pts at halftime. I know no deficit can’t be overcome, but those are some DEEP holes to climb out of – 1:56 AM

A valiant 4th qtr effort by Luka (Accounted for all 23 DAL pts. 20 for him as part of a 43 pt game, but not enough as Mavs fall 113-101 to Clippers. 43-11-7 for Luka. 9th 40 pt game (32 in career) 20th Dbl-Dbl (7 in last 10 gms) 5th 30 pt half (31 in 2nd) inc 4 in last 10 games – 1:50 AM

Clippers halt the longest losing streak of the Kawhi-PG era at six with much-needed win over the Mavs. Luka goes for 43-11-7 but Kawhi had a season-high 33 and 9 rebounds. Norm Powell goes for 27 off bench. Reggie Jackson did not play and Robert Covington got 31 mins off bench. – 12:55 AM

Nice first half for Clippers as they lead Mavericks 69-47 at halftime.
Only half better all season was when they led Hornets by 31 at halftime on the night the whole roster was healthy in December before the road trip.
Just good ass basketball by LA. 53.1% FGs, 12-2 AST-TO. – 11:43 PM

@AndrewGreif
Halftime: Clippers 69, Mavericks 47
17 points for Kawhi Leonard on 5-7 shooting but 7 trips to the FT line. Norm Powell with 16 in 13 minutes. Clippers have cut out the 3-guard lineups, played its wings and have only two turnovers. – 11:42 PM





@AndrewGreif
With the Clippers going full-on wingz due to foul trouble with their bigs, they have led Dallas by as many as 20 points. It’s one of their best halves of the season. – 11:38 PM


@LawMurrayTheNU
Really not used to this. Consistently good Clippers pace, even with low 3-point attempts and Mavericks getting 20 free throw attempts.
LA up 56-42 with 3:30 left in first half. They’re surviving the foul trouble of the centers. Morris is key: 12 points, 5/6 FGs. 2 fouls. – 11:34 PM


@AndrewGreif
Ty Lue has said that the game that he felt like Kawhi turned the proverbial corner, from a physical standpoint, was the win vs. BOS in December. Tonight also feels like a milestone in that regard, with his much pace and quickness Kawhi is playing with. – 11:33 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
This lineup (Mann/Leonard/Wall/Morris Sr./Powell) has zero rim protection
(and before I can finish the tweet, RoCo gets Wall) – 11:31 PM

@AndrewGreif
Nico Batum goes to the bench as mad as I can recall seeing him. Not sure what precisely sparked it but it’s not often you see him that upset. – 11:31 PM

Also… Tyronn Lue just got what I’m sure is his first technical foul of the season. – 11:24 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
Merciful timeout by Jason Kidd. Clippers on the ugliest 9-2 run. How they didn’t lose the lead is a minor miracle, but speaks to how raggedy Mavericks are with Doncic (and THJ) both off floor.
LA up 42-33 with 7:44 left in first half.
That was … rough basketball mannnnnn – 11:20 PM


@LawMurrayTheNU
Moses Brown got an and-one after RoCo missed 3 FTs… but then he missed FT.

Clippers lead the Mavs, 31-25, after the first quarter. Luka has 8-2-2, Tim has 6-2. – 11:08 PM

Clippers 31, Mavericks 25 after one quarter.
No 3-guard lineup so far…Clippers have led by as many as 11. Only 1 turnover for LAC, and 2 for Dallas. Kawhi with 11 points. – 11:07 PM

@AndrewGreif
Since this all-wings lineup took the floor after Zubac’s foul trouble, they outscored Dallas 19-12 over the last six minutes. Very productive lineup. – 11:03 PM


@townbrad
Leonard is having a vintage Leonard night so far, big trouble for Mavs. He has 9 points, primarily guarded by Hardaway, and the Clips lead 21-10.
On the other end, Mavs are 0-for-5 on 3s and look a little disorganized on offense. – 10:59 PM

@LawMurrayTheNU
Clippers got torched on Mavericks ATO that resulted in Powell roll dunk middle from Doncic.
Clippers on 6-2 run after that to take 21-10 lead with 4:51 left in opening quarter. Pace of offense in half court is at an optimal level, which is hard to do vs slowpoke Mavericks. – 10:58 PM

@MarkG_Medina
Kawhi Leonard is pulling the Mavs on a string so far. Kawhi has nearly many points (9) as the entire Dallas team so far (10). – 10:57 PM

Clippers up, 21-10, at the 4:51 mark in the first quarter. Kawhi with 9 points, Zubac with 6 points but also 3 fouls. – 10:57 PM

Kawhi is playing *fast* tonight. Came across court to steal a Dallas pass and has gotten to his spots on the offensive end with burst. – 10:57 PM

Side note: No team is better at getting to the free throw line than the Mavericks. It’s more than just Luka. – 10:55 PM

Ivica Zubac has three fouls less than five minutes into the first quarter. Robert Covington takes his place. – 10:48 PM

3 fouls on Ivica Zubac, all drawn by Doncic.
Robert Covington coming in for him. – 10:48 PM


@townbrad
Doncic is 1-for-5 and Zubac had six points and two rebounnds — but also 2 fouls. – 10:47 PM


@AndrewGreif
Every Clippers starter but Terance Mann has guarded Luka at some point already, within the 5-6 possessions. Batum is trying to throw off his rhythm by picking up Doncic full-court at times.
Here’s the problem: Two fouls on Ivica Zubac in 3 minutes. – 10:45 PM

Damn. Dorian Finney-Smith told me that after the team arrived in OKC late Saturday and Nico Harrison and I exited the elevator on the same hotel floor, the remaining elevator full of players “got stuck for 15 minutes. They had to come pry the doors open.” It was the 13th floor. – 9:22 PM


@TheSteinLine
Dallas’ Luka Dončić (left ankle soreness) has been upgraded to available to play tonight in Los Angeles against the Clippers.

@MavsPR
Luka Dončić (left ankle soreness) will be available for tonight’s game against the Clippers.
Dorian Finney-Smith (right adductor strain), Josh Green (right elbow sprain) and Maxi Kleber (right hamstring tear) will all remain out. – 9:11 PM

@townbrad
A couple of nights ago in OKC, when Hardaway took sole responsibility for the loss in his opening statement to reporters, he also took similar accountability in the locker with teammates. “I think it’s a great thing,” Jason Kidd said, though he emphasized that it’s a team loss. – 9:04 PM

Nice to see Maxi Kleber back on a basketball court. He’s a long way from practicing much less playing. There’s a roughly 5-inch zipper scar on the back of his right thigh where he had hamstring surgery.
“Feels good,” he said with a smile as he took the court. pic.twitter.com/OlWWAJeW0h – 2:14 PM

@AndrewGreif
Talked with Norm Powell at shootaround. Regardless of who’s available, he said, Clips have to set an identity of physical defense and aggressive, attack-you offense. That the Clippers haven’t done that yet 42 games in, he said, hasn’t splintered the group. pic.twitter.com/1uym2VSOny – 1:54 PM



@townbrad
Judging from his victory “dance,” looks like Darrell Armstrong won a bet from Doncic. Bad enough that Armstrong’s Commanders embarrassed Doncic’s beloved Cowboys. pic.twitter.com/igxsdfAvDP – 1:46 PM

@townbrad
Nothing official, but Doncic looks fine and seemingly good to go tonight against the Clips. Bad news for the Clips, whom Doncic always seems to torture. – 1:37 PM

Tim Hardaway Jr.? Bojan Bogdanovic? Jalen McDaniels? With the trade deadline one month away, #Cavs are on the hunt for a wing upgrade. It’s the NBA’s worst kept secret, perhaps the biggest hole for any contender. But what is realistic and what isn’t?

Luka Doncic rarely wears anything that’s not Jordan Brand with his personal logo in clear view.
… except when he donned a gray Cowboys pullover after practice last week.

@KevinOConnorNBA
This play last night sums up Isaiah Hartenstein for Knicks fans.
But Hartenstein ran the Clippers’ 2nd unit last year. Lots of DHO. He was a connective playmaker. Thibodeau has him do none of that in New York:

NBA midseason media survey: 30 beat reporters/columnists from each market voted on various topics. The main predictions? The Celtics (57%) are favored to win the NBA title. Luka Doncic (43%) and Nikola Jokic (40%) will battle it out for regular-season MVP https://t.co/Wz16znra4E pic.twitter.com/DYwbq92j3n – 11:17 AM

During halftime of the Nuggets’ blowout win over the Clippers last week, a scene unfolded inside Denver’s locker room that Michael Malone had never witnessed in his 30 years of coaching.
