LA Clippers vs Charlotte Hornets Full Highlights 1st QTR | Dec 26 | 2023 NBA Season

Step out to the three-point line good stuff Christina Nick Richards opens up scoring for the Hornets that’s a great sign for Hornets you know why cuz they went 11 minutes against Denver and didn’t score the ball in the third quarter till near the end got out score

30 to n that’s a good sign for them not for us don’t don’t get me wrong and so now a beat the zubot controls going up against Hayward tend to shoot splits it double oh little Skyhook zo Al Cinder making an appearance inside all right Z by any means necessary my

Man on the Hornets were 21 of 30 in the first half Tom McLean at the break mentioned something that’s usually worth pointing out they were three of 17 everywhere else including one of 12 from above the ark that’s just their fourth shot that they have made outside the

Painted area and it belongs to Terry Rosier and I have a feeling if the Clippers don’t sharpen up on the defense they’re going to have some problems here tonight Weist still offens foul and it becomes the ninth turnover for the Clippers here tonight well you go back

To zoo and I’m talk about that Charlotte thing too but Zoo right here there you go zual center right there but you know this Charlotte team has made less than 10 three-pointers of five straight games okay so they’re going to do this try to get closer to the basket where they’ve

Kind of found some success and if they’re open for I mean they’re one for 12 right now they’ll take it but you can tell the game plan was kind of getting two feet in the paint bottom five in both attempts and percentage from above the yard big rebound by zoo inside crashing into

Bridges that stops the clock with 1023 to play here in this third quarter 57 54 clippers but it also makes it challenging too kind of like against Boston with us they have 14 more three-pointers when you you’re scoring twos that’s great but if you’re getting out scored from behind three three point

Line by double digit sometimes man it’s it’s it’s going to be tough to beat teams from the strike flippers seven of eight Hornet three for five it was a rapidly moving first half a bit of a choppy start here in the Second Bridges sizes up Terren man Bridges had some nice plays in that first half misses on the two zoo with the rebound I zuban seven points six rebounds here’s George down the lane blocked from behind by Richards there is a Bo right place right time Clippers

Lead by six and that’s why you follow up the shots like that not assuming that it’s going in and zo is able to clean up that missed shot man all the way out at half court guarding Rosier then he turns on the afterburners as he does with

Everybody in the league and hands it off to mwan down the lane tough shot he fills it up and mowan now with eight points and it’s a four-point game once again George settling for the mid-range as we heard from Christina Zoo can’t tap it up and in and the Hornet have it Charlotte three for five in this third quarter Bridges attack from the wing loses the ball and they’ll say it’s last Touch by the Clippers Steve Clifford one of the more likable guys on his sideline not only is he a very good coach he has great answers when he meets with the media Rosier misses on the three Harden with a running rebound and it’s second tenure as coach there in Charlotte Harden all alone for the three

Misses short that might be the easiest one he’s had all night he’s five for nine from above the Arch Bridges steps into a three three it’s good just 31% on the year that’s the second three for the Hornets and it brings him to within one and again perhaps bringing some confidence from that Denver game coffee in the corner for three and the rebound poke down to hard an extended possession

For the Clippers man attacks from the wing back to Coffee five to shoot for George and a whistle and a foul away from the ball will be the third against the Hornets here with A2 to play in the third that Richards inside on zoo I think that’s where that foul was

Called it’s a second foul on Richard Richard’s been very good here tonight 11 points seven rebounds on five of five shooting for Charlotte what a feed what a block Inside by Bridges a good recovery by man triple ball fake patiently Waits For The Fly by and lays it

In good defense patient offense Clippers lead by Three Bridges drives on Harden stripped man has it rier in his sights from the line to the Lane stripped all the way up a whistle and a foul and that’s the second time James Harden has slapped the ball away when a offensive player did it

In the first half he did it that time that allowed a terance to get out but then watch the out of bounds play to pick but the Bullet Pass and Terence just kind of staying with it staying with it able to get it in but James Harden exit and read good cut

Good screen set too by Big Zoo to get Terence man open the offense has been pretty solid for the Clippers they’re only shooting 46% but have had some good looks and some nice plays run the defense has been a bit of an issue cornet shooting 49% got a literally all

Of the points they scored in the first quarter were in The Painted area the defense over the last couple of ball games for the Clippers literally non-existent you saw the scores between Oklahoma City and the Celtics Clippers have got to get back on the right side

Of it on this side of the floor Hayward collides with Zoo a whistle and a foul and Hayward will go to the line for two what you said you said offense not going be a is not a profit this Charlotte team gives up about 120 points a game so it

Buys into it but when it comes easy like that that means you have to concentrate even more on the defensive end which we’re in and out of a little bit for the Clippers friendly role for Hayward he play like a pro this winter at the LA Clippers official youth basketball camps

Each participant will receive exceptional coaching one free Clippers ticket and an exclusive giveaway item camps are open to boys and girls ages 6 to 14 registered today at Clippers camps.com two free throws for for Hayward three-point game Clippers have led by as many as

10 point it’s on the year 5 and 19 when they Trail by double Figures it’s the second most game played while trailing by double figures in the league George for three it’s [Applause] good 12 for George Clippers by six PG just five of 13 from the field here so

Far Clippers shooting 47% foul line jump shot in and out and McGaw tries to spike it down instead spikes it out of bounds and it goes back to the clippers but this pass is made possible because James is Left-Handed so he’s going to his left he’s able to put a little air underneath

It but still put it on target to Paul George George to Coffee extra pass to an open Harden rhythmic three in route halfway down iita zubot really doing work in the trenches Clippers keep it alive live 10 rebounds for Zoo I’d like to see him reward Zoo right here for

That effort shot clock going down Harden double team finds George hot potato three oh it’s good for George 15 and the Clippers jump out in front by Nine roir Nice Contest by teren man Rosier unaffected he has eight points three rebounds three assists for Charlotte Hornet five of 10 from the field in the third quarter Harden deep into the paint whistle foul looks like free throws here for James Harden six minutes to play in

This third quy they want to kick off this road trip know in style so to speak without certainly their best player in mellow ball although he looked good warming up award gets a friendly roll again on the road he has eight points and five assists flippers lead by just Seven Harden Hayward gives Chase but after Paul George releases that’s his third three of the quarter his fourth of the game and the Clippers now match their larg lead of 10 but again it’s this side of the floor this is where the Clippers have hung their hat really all year Hayward strong driver
