It’s a good thing that this Knicks defensive performance is on late night because it is not safe for children…and I don’t think Tom Thibodeau is enjoying it either. clippers up to 130 with 6:26 to play. – 12:43 AM

Clippers had made two of their first nine three-pointers tonight before making each of their last three — Harden and two by Mann. Hard to overstate how important it’s been for those two, in particular, to get going. Mann had missed his first 3 FGAs. Harden had started 1-3. – 11:44 PM

I’m not sure what Josh Hart said, but that seemed like a quick ejection by CJ Washington — except that Hart didn’t seem to argue getting tossed at all. Hart can be, let’s say, colorful. – 11:32 PM

1st quarter box score, first thing I notice: Kings had 20 points in the paint.
In the Jazz’s win over the Knicks, they allowed just 34 through the first three quarters combined. – 10:36 PM
