“I thought we were bad on the ball, bad off the ball. It’s a good team. Phoenix has been together. They’re a decent team.”

Paraphrasing Paul George on the team’s defense tonight:
This kind of performance won’t cut it … We didn’t help each other. – 12:48 AM
Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Asked again about Ty Lue meeting with him to make sure he doesn’t take “a backseat” and remains aggressive and that it’s a “one-one” situation with Kawhi, Paul George reiterated it’s not that big a deal and he knows what he can do alongside Kawhi. “He’s 1A. I’m 1B.” – 12:48 AM

Paul George makes a 3 after Marcus Morris spent multiple possessions getting buckets. Williams calls an urgent timeout, Suns up 82-72 with 2:28 left in 3rd quarter.
It’s the closest Clippers have been since the first subs were made.
Also, the hot dog cannon is back. – 11:47 PM

Paul George 3. #Clippers down 10. Trailed by as many as 22.
