Ty Lue saw things that “intrigued” him with possibilities of lineups and how to play moving forward. He trusted Russell Westbrook not only to start but close until Russ fouled out. He said tonight was also a “learning” experience for him, admitting he should’ve played TMann more. – 1:57 AM

Kings won tonight with benefit of 15 extra possessions

Ty Lue said he wanted to keep Russell Westbrook in the game in critical moments, down the stretch and until he fouled out in the second OT because Lue felt ball pressure was hurting the Clippers (see: 25 turnovers) and he believed Westbrook could help combat that. – 1:50 AM

Along with his 42 points and 12 assists, De’Aaron Fox added five steals vs. LAC.
Since 1973-74, Fox is just the 12th player in the NBA with 40 points, 10 assists and five steals in a game. He is the first since James Harden on Mar. 15, 2019 vs. PHX. – 1:38 AM

5. Ke-Von. Red Velvet. Headband Huerter. Call him whatever you want as long as the 3-ball is falling. The Kings’ starting shooting guard has been a little all over the board the last month, but he was good in this one, hitting 3-of-7 from deep for 11 points. – 1:35 AM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
4. Kee-gan… The Kings’ rookie was ready for a showdown. The youngest player on the court looked unfazed by the moment, hitting the Clippers with perimeter shots and cuts to the rim. Murray finished with 15 points on 7-of-12 shooting, showing he is ready for the stretch run. – 1:35 AM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
3. No answer. Once Tony Brothers stopped calling fouls…wait, he never did. Domantas Sabonis started to take over the game and then the officials happened. The three-time All-Star dominated the paint, finishing with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists in just 31 minutes. – 1:35 AM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
2. De’Aaron Fox continues to show that he is a star. The Kings’ point guard posted his sixth straight game with 30+ points in this one and is now averaging over 25 points per game on the season. Fox finished with 42 points and 12 assists. All-Star selection was a launching point. – 1:35 AM
James Ham @James_HamNBA
1. Sixth Man of the Year. It’s been a while since we could make that claim, but Malik Monk is back and making an impact for the Kings. He was dynamic in this game, like he has been for the last two weeks or so. Monk dropped in 45 points and 6 assists off the bench. – 1:35 AM

The Clippers didn’t need help, but they got it from Tony Brothers. The veteran official was awful and almost cost the Kings a game. In a wild, playoff caliber game, the Kings found a way to overcome a brutal night from the officials for a 176-175 double-overtime win. Here are 7… – 1:35 AM

Terance Mann has played so incredibly for the Clippers. It’s inexcusable he got only 18 minutes tonight. And he was a team-high +6 anyway. Ty Lue has veteran options now but Mann’s minutes shouldn’t be cut so much. – 1:34 AM

With 45 points, Malik Monk tied Kevin Martin for the second most points off the bench by a Kings player. The only player with more is Mike Woodson, who scored 48 points off the bench for the Kansas City Kings on Feb. 20, 1983. De’Aaron Fox added 42. @ESPNStatsInfo pic.twitter.com/KHP6981AAE1:34 AM

First double digit lead of the game my friends, and the edible looms for Kings after playing last night
LA up 89-78 with 9:51 left in 3rd quarter. Russell Westbrook assisting back-to-back 3s from PG and Kawhi. The vision is foretelling.
Westbrook with 9 assists already. – 12:01 AM

Immediate Westbrook takeaways:
– The offense is fine
– The defense, not so much – 11:49 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Biggest factor for Clippers in that first half was getting to FT line. They’re outscoring Kings 18-11 from stripe, to go with outscoring Kings 12-7 from 3.
Possession battle even. Kings clobbering Clippers in paint 42-18.
Sabonis foul trouble is an immediate 2nd half factor. – 11:48 PM

First halves in Clippers franchise history with more than tonight’s 80 points:
– 82-57 vs Wizards in Dec. 2019
– 82-46 vs Knicks in Mar. 2019

Highest scoring half of the season for Clippers.
LA leads Kings 80-76 in defense optional invitational.
Back-to-back 40 point quarters for Clippers. The offense still works, and that’s without getting many points in the paint.
Kings down despite shooting 63% FGs. – 11:42 PM

Kings trail 80-76 at the half. Poor officiating impacting the game. Fox leads with 16. Monk playing well off the bench. Sabonis limited by Tony Brothers. – 11:42 PM

Getting Domantas Sabonis in foul trouble is going to be a top priority for opponents in the playoffs.
Sabonis needs to find a way to avoid foul trouble while the Kings need to be prepared to survive when he’s on the bench. – 11:38 PM

Candidate for lineup we shouldn’t see again: Eric Gordon in place of a center with rest of starters.
Kings go on 11-0 run to take 66-64 lead with 4:09 left. Sabonis destroyed that group, accounting for all of the points except for George’s pick-six to Davion Mitchell. – 11:27 PM

it’s not even halftime of his first game but what russ has done so far is a best-case scenario for the clippers. he’s creating open looks for everybody else in transition, attacking the glass, getting into the paint, not hijacking the offense, etc. – 11:23 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
You might need 140 points to win this game.
LA leads Kings 61-55 with 6:19 left in first half. Preposterously high temperature of bucket getting tonight.
Kings are at 60% FGs.
Clippers are at 59.4% FGs. – 11:22 PM

While Russ debut has Crypto amped, Kawhi is playing with playoff-like pace and force. He made impressive pass from left block to PG for far corner 3, later raced out of paint to get a piece of an open corner Kings 3. Kings, though, are on fire. This has a playoff start to game – 10:58 PM

Second foul on Sabonis. – 10:58 PM
