Random stat I ran across: There are only 2 players in the league this season who are shooting 70% inside the restricted area and 38% on 3s (min. 150 shots in each area) -- Nikola Jokic, which duh!, and ... Trey Murphy III.

The fact that YouTube TV has integrated the Peacock feeds for NBA and Premier League games into their live guide and allows you to watch on there rather than through a separate streaming service, such as Peacock, is a major home run. It's so convenient.

Since Dec. 3, the LA Clippers are 8-6 and 6th in Net Rating.

LA Clippers injury report for tomorrow at Knicks: QUESTIONABLE James Harden - Right Shoulder Soreness OUT Bradley Beal - Left Hip Fracture Bogdan Bogdanović - Left Hamstring Injury Management Derrick Jones Jr. - Right Knee Sprain Chris Paul - Not With Team

How good is Stephen Curry's gravity? Even when he's technically off the floor, he's still being defended. (Sneaky way to create chaos by Golden State here, though.)

🚨 NEW: When did Kobe Sanders find out he was starting Monday night? “When y’all found out,” the rookie guard joked in the locker room. Sanders finished with a career-high 20 points, helping the LA Clippers eke out a big win -- their 7th in the last 8 games. 🔗 justinrusso.substack.com/p/clippers-e...

After play last night, NBA teams who take at least 15 fewer shots than their opponents are 33-32 this season and are at a .581 win percentage all-time, which is fascinating considering what you'd think the record would be with so many fewer shots.

Nicolas Batum, on the final defensive possession: “Jimmy [Butler] ended up having the ball. He’s been in this situation before, couple of times in his career. I knew I had to step up and try to make a stop. He had a good look. … It was a good stop and a good win for us.”

John Collins, on Stephen Curry’s flurries: “It’s annoying, man … A little bit annoying when the dude is pulling up from half-court, hitting 3-balls. ... Staying focused, staying locked in for that full 48 [minutes] was big tonight, especially with the best shooter ever.”

Tyronn Lue, on Kobe Sanders: “I knew he was a good player. But just his poise ... just for him to be poised with what he’s been able to do, he started early on in the season, to now just getting consistent minutes, it’s huge for us.”

Final: Clippers 103, Warriors 102. Jimmy Butler's potential game-winner misses everything, and the Clippers improve to 13-22 after nearly blowing a 13-point lead with under 5 minutes to go.

14.0 left: Clippers 103, Warriors 102. Clippers ball with 5 on the shot clock.

First time Stephen Curry has fouled out since Dec. 17, 2021.

Stephen Curry has fouled out with 42.7 to play. Kris Dunn to the line for two shots and the Clippers leading 101-100.

Back-to-back Stephen Curry 3s have pulled the Warriors within 101-100 of the Clippers with 1:05 to play. It's an extended 19-7 run over 3:43.

Warriors have rattled off a 9-0 run in 1:42 to trim the Clippers' lead down to 94-90.

Clippers are +15 in the 32 minutes that Kawhi Leonard and Kobe Sanders have played together this evening.

Kawhi Leonard's fast break dunk pushes him up to 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists, and it gives the Clippers a 94-81 lead over the Warriors with 4:47 to play.

Kawhi Leonard has his 17th consecutive 20-point outing.

Yeah I can't blame him, it's pretty obvious

Steve Kerr just ran onto the floor to go after the referees after an uncalled goaltending violation that he, quite clearly, was incensed about. Kerr was ejected.

Through three quarters, the Golden State Warriors have a 36.3 eFG%. The lowest by any team in any game this season is 38.7%.

End Q3: Clippers 76, Warriors 64. Golden State shot 3-for-24 overall and 0-for-9 on 3s in the third, scoring 13 points.

Kobe Sanders has a season- and career-high 20 points.

Kawhi Leonard is up to 18 points. He's taken 20 shots to get there, which is a realization from him that he's going to have to get a lot of shots up tonight to give the Clippers a chance. Leonard's added 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Clippers lead Warriors, 73-62.

Tyronn Lue challenged the Kobe Sanders foul against Jimmy Butler and won it. Successful challenge. Clippers ball. (I will say, on the replays shown in the arena, it looked like Sanders slapped Butler on the wrist during the gather.)

Draymond Green appeared to roll his left ankle when Kawhi Leonard made inadvertent contact following Leonard's made layup. Warriors took a timeout. Green was hobbled a bit.

Draymond Green has started the second half for the Warriors.

Draymond Green’s return following his first-half rib contusion is TBD.

Kobe Sanders has 10 points as he gets the spot-start for James Harden. The last time a Curry visited Inglewood to play against a Kobe, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant had 9 points against Dell Curry's Hornets. Sanders is ahead of the curve.

Halftime: Clippers 55, Warriors 51. Kawhi Leonard and Stephen Curry each have 14 points to lead their respective teams. Clippers with 12 turnovers for 18 Golden State points.

Draymond Green dove for a loose ball in front of the Golden State bench, colliding with his back against the players sitting down. Green was down for a bit before getting back up to his feet but has taken a seat on the bench following the play.

LA Clippers starting lineup tonight vs Golden State: Kris Dunn Kobe Sanders Kawhi Leonard John Collins Ivica Zubac

James Harden (right shoulder) is OUT tonight.

Tyronn Lue, on if he feels James Harden has been worn down from workload: “I think definitely, just body fatigue, all the things he had to do as far as carrying the offense when Kawhi [Leonard] was out … We didn’t really have a secondary scorer. … He had to do a lot for us.”

Tyronn Lue, on getting Kawhi Leonard moving without the ball: “It’s allowed him to get into the paint a lot easier because he doesn’t have the ball and four guys are watching him while he has the basketball. … It’s easier for him to see his reads.”

Ivica Zubac is back into his normal starting spot tonight as Tyronn Lue and the Clippers get back to normalcy.

Bogdan Bogdanović is not making the trip due to continuing his process of strengthening the residual weakness in his hip and hamstring area. Bogdanović will not go on the trip. Derrick Jones Jr. is going on the trip to continue his rehab. Jones’s timeline remains the same.

James Harden came in this morning with stiffness in his right shoulder. Harden will go through warmups and see if he can play. He’s a game time decision.

Derrick Jones Jr. missed 17 games with an injury to the same knee earlier this season. The 28 year-old was in the midst of a career best season.

Derrick Jones Jr. was diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain of the MCL in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in 6 weeks, per the Clippers.

Opposing QBs completed 65% of their passes for 3,660 yards and 36 TD with 0 INT against the Jets this season. A cool 109.4 passer rating.

🚨 NEW: Try as the LA Clippers might, they were no match for the Boston Celtics’ precision and machine-like efficiency. Well, that and Jaylen Brown’s career-high-tying night. “As a group, they were a better team tonight,” said Kris Dunn. Hard to argue. 🔗 justinrusso.substack.com/p/boston-mas...

Derrick Jones Jr. was limping quite heavily in the locker room following tonight's game and told reporters he will be undergoing an MRI tomorrow to assess the severity of his right knee injury.

Tyronn Lue said Ivica Zubac started second half because of Boston putting their center on John Collins defensively in the first half, which mucked up a bit of Clippers' offense, and they wanted a traditional center out there. Clippers were down 6 when Zubac checked out in 3rd.

Derrick Jones Jr. suffered a right knee injury tonight against the Celtics and will be reevaluated tomorrow, the Clippers say.
