Durant picked up by Dunn. [Music] Dun pokes a three, retrieves it. The Clippers on a power play. Man, hands stripped. Done recovers and lays it in. Mike Moonhoer trying everything he can, changing the lineup, but you can’t coach effort. Mdonovich, he’ll take it himself. Lays it in on the run out. George has hit both of the shots here for Philadelphia in the fourth. Done with the gamble. Done with the steal. It’s a foot race. Plays back to Powell. The same exact number for the Warriors.

A deflection and Warriors are number one in the league in chargees drawn. Curry Barnes storms the lane. Moving well without the ball. Dunn was ready ahead to Jones Jr. Whistle. Next time do the other way. James posting on Dunn. Eubanks flirting with the double team. James goes stripped by Dunn. Recovered by Batum. Here come the Clippers down by 10. Are playing well with those players. They lead by nine. A 19-point turnaround as the Lakers have opened up this second quarter on an 18-8 run as Chris Dunn does some Chris. Nine to shoot for Donic. Any whistle against the Clippers will be free throws. Dunns it away. Look. [Music] Steal by Dunn. Pursu. nice blow into the season and not trying to get beat up early because again those guys to Jim’s point get to the rim lob over the top is it directly in the shooting pocket that also goes into the field for the game block by Dunn Brown recovers with seven to shoot that you know it’s interesting too that mid-range shot Brown he likes the open floor attacks on coffee blocked from behind by Dunn that’s the extra effort effort that you need. Hustle him back. Get it from behind. Jump shot. Two dribble right in the lane. Pocket pick. Clippers have time. Dunn will take it to the house. And the Clippers. You dribble in front of me. Give me those cookies, man. Taking it all the way to the house. Chris Dunn showing some hops, too. [Applause] Oh, you’re in there for Kee George. Has his pocket picked. Dunn creates the contact. Collier stops to argues. That’s the strip right there by Chris Dunn. Watch him push him, but he didn’t extend the 15- six. Big reason why they are leading in this game. Dunn causing issues again. The turnover came from the three-point line. I mentioned this before when Rick Patino took over the Knicks back in the late 80s as as both teams combined to go 0 for six here to start this third quarter.

Loose ball up and grabs. Here comes Dunn ahead to coffee with Brockton to beat to the rim and in. Full Clipper shooting 47% overall. Connley drives. Blocked by Dunn out of bounds. They have a chance of beating almost anybody on a given night and you’re missing one, two, three pieces. Now you have new guys in there trying to replace what the other guys did. That’s where Time out. Coffee has been good here in his return to his native Minneapolis. Edwards doubled and picks up his dribble. Connley back to Edwards. Seven to shoot. Dunn reaches in, knocks it free. Edwards knocks it out of bounds. It’ll go back to the Clippers. 109 to play in a three-point game. And it’s good to see Chris Dunn two for two. Had been seven of 31 in his previous few games. Holiday another interception. has three consecutive turnovers for Green deflected recovered ahead to Dunn for the layin. 122 run to end the second quarter for Houston. It was some turnovers in there. But when you take care of the ball, give your offense a chance and play off the bench for San Antonio. In fact, when he is on the floor, have some of the better lineup. Ran a tough shot dismissed by Dund. It’s knocked out of bounds, but only 1 second on the shot clock. First 720 to play in the half. Clippers are down by 18. Right into the hands of Dunn.

I love it. Welcome to Chris Dunn anticipating where he wanted to get to the injuries for Zion, but a lot has to be he has to be accounted for. fall yesterday in their win against the Suns. Pocket picked by Dunn. It’s a foot race with no one. He’ll take it straight to the rack. I always say that about Chris Dunn too. His fingerprint or prints are usually on the ball stealing it from opponents and then an easy two. And you talked about all the stuff the Norm is on the trip did participate in practice. Jamu said that there were just some nagging knee pain going on over the last couple of weeks. They were hoping to get it coraled over the All-Star break. Seven turnover for the Clippers. They have forced 13. They have forced 14. Leonard with Trent to beat to the rim and in. Counted on a foul. That it had to be here. You see stick his hand in Kai to knock it free. Then the pitcher head pass. There’s the defender behind him. either wrap him up right there or on the initial possession. Derek Jones misses on the floater. Pacers have it a struggle to start the year for Indiana as we hear. Great to have him. Yeah, big fan of Patty Mills and the time that he has spent in the lead. Pacers with his eighth rebound. [Applause] Dumps it to Turner. Blocked from behind. as a outstanding offensive player with a lot of repertoire. He was able to spin and go. Great play from Don as we’ve seen all Clippers have to run through the tape here. There’s a long way to go. Cuttingham inside. Pocket pick. Here come the Clippers again. True to the rebound and quickly gets it ahead to Cuttingham. Pocket pick by Dunn. What a play by Chris Dunn. And that’s in transition. Hardway Jr. Eight to shoot.

Great play by Dunn. Pokes it free and the former Bull sends it ahead to Leonard. Led to Derek Jones Jr. for the southpaw spike. Had a chance to maybe build some separation in the sixth through the seventh spot, but that is gone and it will be a photo finish as Chris Dunn doing Chris Dunn things. Former teammate with Carl Anthony Towns in Minnesota. Another one zoo punch. Bridges loses the ball. It’s up for grabs and especially in key moments to get him the ball on the post. Speaking about trust, how you not trust Chris defensively and when you let it go. You know, you got a 99.9% chance of it going in. That’s a miracle right now. Zoo inside. I’ll wait for the assist to show up in the box. Score. Diamond with the deflection interception. Mitchell, we saw that a few times last night. more than a few times. [Applause] Mitchell tries to bounce to Hero. Young. Great close out by Dunn. Relentless effort. Blocked from behind on the rear view contest. I’ll tell you what, Chris Dunn is amazing. Young into Daniels, tied up by Dunn. A couple of thieves cross. I did once see the Harlem Globe Troters count. Deflection interception again and the Clippers trying to pull away here in Brooklyn. Kawawaii the three. Oh, it’s good again. [Music] Interception by Dunn. It’s a foot race with Keon Johnson to the rim. Attention. You’ll hear his name an awful lot here tonight. Drive inside. Pocket pick by Dunn. He dives on the floor. It’ll be a shot clock by are huge in this kind of a game and every game is huge for both of these teams really as the Clippers try to joust. I mentioned this in our pregame show with Lauren Rosen if you told me would the Pelicans be five and 27 or 27 and five. That’s how Zoo was so wide open. Clippers lead by eight. Alvarado deep into the paint blocked by Dunn. Recovered by Dunn. Excellent anticipation by Don. Takes it to the rack and flushes it in. And it is Tris Dunn 21 games in a row with the steel to start the fourth quarter as well. I’m anxious to see these matchups and we see a little back action and Dunn. Leonard reaching in and Washington trying to escape. It’s Dun that tears it away. Martin back to Leonard but Dun stepping on the baseline. Mobley with some handles but loses the footwork. Garland blocked from behind. Another block, this time by Harded.

Greatest KD in basketball history
KD8! 😤🔐The heart & soul of the LA Clippers & their defensive⚓️ 📈
Ty Lue should let Dunn operate in the midrange more often this season on offense & get him taking more chances in open space, slashing at the rim to exploit mismatches on smaller guards & especially flat footed bigs with his size and speed 🤞🏾
finally!!
if he could make his shots hed easily be starting
This dude works his tail off on that end I really hope he's been working on that three ball because if he can knock it down consistently I'd rather he start over Beal honestly
Clippers needs a 6’8-6’10 wing that play defensive & knock down 3 to go further in playoffs
Ty Lue needs to play KD and DJJ for defensive
I already know Ty Lue not gonna do it, but me personally I’d start Kris Dunn over Beal because every team needs at least one guy in the starting lineup that’s gonna do all the dirty work
I went to this game
He wack
This video really illustrates how Dunn earned his place in the starting lineups, so many of these poke aways look like misdribles or bad bounces at first, but nope 8 is a pest on D
I think Beal will start. But Dunn should be starting
He's trash af and doesn't belong to the league stop promoting such a L
I literally hate that we have to have him and DJJ together the one year we have too many guards.. smh both their careers are coming full circle
elite defender.. i wonder if he plays much un the coming season with Beal and CP now with the Clipps.
Kris Dunn & Kawhi Leonard are defensive duos that this LA Clippers team needs.
MVP role player on our team
Dunn was locking up everybody in this tape but he had Cade Cunningham in particular in Arkham Asylum 😂😂
Just a defensive menace either KD or DJJ should start for start/point of attack defender.
He gonna the key for clippers defense this season again… let's go KD8
real hoopers find this entire 11 minutes as art… know our guard depth is crazy now, but I'm still going to need a good >20 min from Dunn most nights.
The most impressive thing about his defense is, if you look at the highlights, there are a lot of instances where he gets beat to the dribble or trailing after a screen, but his recovery is insane.
Kris Dunn my GOAT
didnt showcase in the playoffs
