Clips Lose Kawhi, Then Lose to Suns Despite Norm's Career Night
Lucas, Shap, and Cole (@colehoops) recap another traumatic day for Clipper fans, first talking about the sudden scratch of Kawhi Leonard due to a knee sprain, then talk about a game that was just out of reach despite the talent gap to Phoenix, and despite a massive free throw disparity in the second half. Norman Powell did all he could and Russell Westbrook shined in the second half, but the game was never quite there. The guys then look at some adjustments before thinking about the rest of this series.
