SGA Just Got CALLED OUT By Everyone…

Clippers fans just exposed SGA by calling him a flopper in the middle of the game. And there was madness in the battle for the second seed in the west. But we gotta start in LA where the Clippers are undefeated in the last 8 games at home. The Thunder were playing without Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren, their 2nd and 3rd scoring options, but they still got this guy. Man, Shai is so slick getting to the rim. But the Clippers also have a guy who can be unstoppable at times… Yeah, that’s right. Ben Simmons and SGA went eye for an eye at the end of the 1st period. After connecting on 2 consecutive buckets, Bennn got carried away a little bit.. Still, LA built a 10 point lead by shooting 52% from the field in the opening quarter. But at the start of the 2nd, the Thunder showed their real power. An electric 14-0 run led by Aaron Wiggins helped OKC regain control in just 3 minutes. Oklahoma would remain on top throughout the game despite a season low 24% from the field by Alexander. He got to his usual numbers though, by doing what he does best. The crowd didn’t like that, so on this obvious bait late in the 3rd, they let him know it. That’s wild. So, in the 4th quarter with the Clippers trailing by 6, get ready cuz here comes the Claw. Kawhi Leonard put on a vintage performance in the final period and got his team up by 2 with 2 minutes left to play. With Shai struggling with his shot, the Thunder dug deep into their roster and found Caruso in the clutch. Alex gets the shooter's touch and takes back the lead for OKC. On the other end, the refs missed a crucial foul by SGA on Zubac, complicating things in crunchtime. And things went from bad to worse for LA on the inbounds because… Caruso had an almost perfect quarter if it wasn’t for this one missed free throw. Regardless, Derrick Jones Jr. on the other side couldn’t punish that as he splitted his free throws as well. So, with Shai being doubled, Alex did his part by dropping the pass beautifully to Hartenstein but… A monster block by Zubac to deny Isiah at the rim giving his team a chance to take the lead with time winding down. LA blows two chances at the end as they must foul Shai now, who goes to the line and stays ice cool by hitting 2 shots to extend the lead to 3. And with 3 seconds to go, Caruso plays smart and foul Kawhi here to prevent a 3 point shot. So, after knocking down the 1st one, Leonard misses the 2nd intentionally but the ball is tipped away as the buzzer sounds marking the 6th win in a row for the Thunder, and the end of the winning stretch for the Clippers. OKC sweeps the season series 4-0. Moving on to Houston where the Rockets’ 9 game winning streak was put to the test by the Jokic-less Nuggets. Denver, led by Jamal Murray and Deandre Jordan went on a tear in the 3rd quarter. Yeah, you heard that right - Murray was shooting unconsciously while DJ was skywalking, putting on a real show for Rockets fans. Jamal with 17 of his 39 points in the 3rd has put the Nuggets up by 17 going into the final period. However, Dillon Brooks with 2 quick 3’s at the start of the 4th breath in a little hope that the Rockets can mount a comeback. And they kept pushing hard, closing the gap to just 6 points with a lot left on the game clock. Little did they know that this was going to be their last made field goal in the next 5 minutes of action. They went ice cold, shooting 0 for 10 in that span. In the meantime, the Nuggets who were struggling themselves, somehow found ways to get the lead back to 9 points. And when time finally came to break the spell on Shengun’s layup here, Houston made things interesting in the clutch again, because… Woow, all of a sudden, the Rockets are back in the game. And they continue with their smothering defense, forcing another turnover by the Nuggets. So with a chance to make it a 1 possession game, here comes Jalen Green. A great contest by Westbrook as the help defender to deny Green’s layup. Seeing that the game could slip away, Jamal Murray takes matters into his own hands. Murray splits the free throws, and leaves the door open just a bit for the Rockets. Alpi cuts it to 3, but now they must foul, sending Christian Braun to the line who turns off the noise in the building and knocks down both shots in the clutch to bump the lead up to 5 points. This turned out to be enough as the Nuggets remained calm in the penalty shootout to snap Houston’s 9 game winning streak. Denver is now 2-2 with Jokic out and just 1 game behind the Rockets for the 2nd seed in the West. The Pistons, playing without their All-Star Cade Cunningham faced the Pelicans, and the red-hot CJ McCollum. CJ counted to 40 in this game, but that still wasn’t enough as Detroit got a huge boost off the bench by Ron Holland and Marcus Sasser. Jalen Duren had a big game as well with 22 points and 12 rebounds on 73% efficiency which proved to be too much for New Orleans.
