Watch Highlights – Kawhi Leonard Scores 34, Clippers Beat Thunder Again

By:BARBARA SAMPSON Published on: January 24, 2021 9:20 pm Leave a Comment

Kawhi Leonard scored 34 points to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to a 108-100 victory over Oklahoma City Thunder in an NBA score on Sunday. The victory for the Clippers was the seventh successive, which means they have tied with the LA Lakers again for the best record in the NBA at 13-4.

Leonard Leads From The Front

Leonard who made 14 of 24 shots and connected on four 3-pointers, flirted with a triple-double after pulling down nine rebounds and dishing out eight assists as well.

“We’re playing team basketball and sharing the ball,” Leonard said. “We’re having some breakdowns defensively, but we’re staying positive.”

Serge Ibaka added 17 points on 7 of 8 shooting to go with six rebounds, Reggie Jackson ended with 14 points off the bench, while Paul George contributed 11 points, five rebounds, and four assists before sitting out the final five minutes because of hamstring tightness.

Ivica Zubac added a double-double with 10 points, 11 boards, and two blocks for Los Angeles, which picked up its second straight win over the Thunder after beating them on Friday night.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander paced the Thunder (6-9) with 23 points on 8 of 16 shooting to go with his seven assists and six rebounds against his former team.

George Hill added 22 points and shot 9 of 12 from the field, Hamidou Diallo chipped in with 14 points and five rebounds, Isaiah Roby scored 10 points with 10 rebounds, while Darius Bazley ended with nine points and 11 rebounds for Oklahoma City, which has lost three in a row and five of six.

Grind-out Win – Tyronn Lue

As a team, the Clippers shot 41 of 92 for 44.6% from the field and made 14 of the 46 attempted shots from 3-pointers.

“On a night when we weren’t making shots, it was a good, tough, grind-out win for us,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said.

“Kawhi had it going so we played through him a lot, especially in the second half. We had to ride him pretty hard just so we could continue to keep the lead.”

The Clippers were without Marcus Morris, who was held out because of illness.

Oklahoma City Thunder will be at Portland Trail Blazers on Monday.

The Los Angeles Clippers travel to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday to begin a six-game road trip.

Nuggets 115, Philadelphia 76ers 103; COVID-19, Injuries Limit Sixers

By:CEDRIC HANCOCK Published on: January 9, 2021 8:11 pm Leave a Comment

PHILADELPHIA — Gary Harris scored 21 points and Nikola Jokic flirted with a triple-double and the Denver Nuggets beat the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers 115-103 on Saturday. The Sixers played the game with only seven available players after COVID-19 protocols and injuries ruled out a number of the hosts’ players.

Philadelphia started the game without four regular starters, including point guard Ben Simmons (sore left knee) and center Joel Embiid (back) who were held out because of injuries.

The other two starters, Seth Curry and Tobias Harris missed the game due to coronavirus concerns. Curry tested positive for the virus Thursday, which resulted in a number of players forced into isolation due to contact tracing and COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Watch Highlights From The Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets Game

“COVID created this but the concern is not COVID now. The concern is injuries,” 76ers head coach Doc Rivers said.

“Joel started complaining about his back, that started yesterday,” Rivers revealed. “And we didn’t know if he was playing or not but honestly, with the minutes we would have to ask, it would be insane to play him tonight.”

“We’ve got to be very careful in how we navigate the next week.”

Jokic registered a double-double with 15 points and 12 assists for Denver (4-5). He shot 6-of-8 from the field and missed a triple-double by one rebound after pulling down nine boards in the win.

Will Barton and Jamal Murray each scored 14 points, JaMychal Green finished with 12 points and six rebounds off the bench, while Monte Morris also scored 12 points from a role off the bench for the Nuggets, who bounced back from the 124-117 overtime defeat to the Dallas Mavericks Thursday night.

Philadelphia 7ers were led by 2020 first-round pick Tyrese Maxey, who started at point guard and played 44 minutes. Maxey scored 39 points on 18-of-33 shooting in his first career start for the Sixers (7-3).

“I had to hunt my shot just a little more because it was needed,” Maxey, whose 22 points were the most in the first half for a Sixer this season, said.

Isaiah Joe had 13 points, Dakota Mathias finished with 12, while Danny Green, Dwight Howard, and Tony Bradley all scored 11 points in the loss.

Bradley and Howard completed their double-doubles with 15 and 11 rebounds, respectively.

The Nuggets were without forward Michael Porter Jr., who will remain in the NBA’s health and safety protocol.

The Philadelphia 76ers are slated to play Monday in Atlanta.

Denver will travel to take on New York Knicks on Sunday.
