Ty Lue says Kawhi Leonard spent the clutch minutes on the bench because Leonard was close to his minutes limit and Lue felt that with a back to back tomorrow, it was his call. – 12:10 AM

Kawhi Leonard has been on the bench since checking out at the 2:47 mark. He has struggled a bit this game, shooting 6-for-17 and just 2-for-7 from 3 with 15 points, eight rebounds and four fouls. Certainly will have to see what Ty Lue says postgame about Kawhi. – 11:54 PM

Terance Mann at scorers table. Tyronn Lue used last timeout after Davis middy that gave Lakers 98-95 lead.
Looks like T Lue is going to try and use the last 2:47 to blitz past Lakers without a center on floor. If it’s for Zu — that’s a 20-point, 17-rebound, 1-block performance – 11:45 PM

Kawhi told Ty Lue he didn’t touch the ball, which was ruled out on Leonard with Prince reaching in, but the refs kept the call on the floor after a Clippers challenge.
LAL have the ball and the lead at 96-95 with 3:28 to play, and LAC are down to 1 time out. Lakers have 2 left. – 11:42 PM

Tyronn Lue calls another timeout with Lakers taking a 75-73 lead. It’s been a wasteful 3rd quarter from Clippers in terms of shot selection, turnovers, missed fast break opportunities. – 11:10 PM

Clips coach Ty Lue, who knows a thing or two about coaching a LeBron team with expectations, offered his support to D. Ham: “It’s definitely unfair … Last year they were 2-10, and they went to the conference finals. And so, are you giving the coach all the credit for that?” – 9:19 PM

Key Tyronn Lue vs Lakers stat:
Clippers have won every first quarter vs Lakers under Tyronn Lue (12 games). The only time Clippers lost the game was in November, when Los Angeles Lakers had to overcome a 19-point deficit.
If nothing else, T Lue has had his team ready to play… – 8:34 PM

Lakers are an NBA-worst -133 in 3-point FG margin this season.
For perspective, Lakers were 27th in that category last year but allowed 143 more 3s than they made all season.
Lue says Clippers can’t worry about that. Wants Clippers focused on protecting possessions and paint. pic.twitter.com/JQJGed6lWP – 8:29 PM
