However, the Sixers recently came to the conclusion that the Clippers’ offer on the table is unsatisfactory, prompting them to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-massive-james-harden-decision-amid-trade-talks-clippers" rel="noopener">end trade talks</a>. This then triggered Harden’s outburst in China in which he called Sixers president Daryl Morey a liar.</p><p>Most people believe that the main holdup over any potential Clippers-Sixers trade is LA’s refusal to include Terance Mann in the deal. However, it doesn’t seem like the Sixers are hell-bent on receiving Mann in return in any prospective Harden trade. Instead, the Sixers are <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/james-hardens-pressure-on-daryl-morey-could-cost-sixers-more-than-1-unhappy-star-022301007.html" rel="noopener">trying to squeeze</a> as many future first-round picks from the Clippers as possible, according to Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports.</p><p>“League sources told Yahoo Sports contrary to popular belief, Morey isn’t stuck on receiving Clippers guard Terance Mann back in a Harden deal, but is coveting future first-round draft picks with the so-called “Seven Year Rule” in effect,” Goodwill wrote.</p><p>The Clippers are still <a href="https://fanspo.com/nba/teams/Clippers/13/draft-picks" rel="noopener">out a few picks</a> due to their blockbuster trade for Paul George over four years ago, so the earliest first-rounder they can deal is their 2027 pick. That seems to be what the Sixers front office is targeting, and for justifiable reason, as Kawhi Leonard will be 35 years old before the beginning of the 2026-27 season — and the Klaw isn’t even durable enough to begin with.</p><p>“Morey is believed to want those [first-round picks] more than the productivity of Mann — who’s on an affordable number the next two years ($10.5 million in ’23-24, $11.4 million in ’24-25),” Goodwill added.</p><p>That seems to be an indication that Daryl Morey, indeed, is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-the-strong-belief-on-joel-embiids-sixers-future-amid-bleak-james-harden-trade-situation-revealed" rel="noopener">looking to rebuild</a> the Sixers instead of trying to retool for one last push with Joel Embiid leading the way. But for the Clippers, giving up what remains of their draft capital for a player who has made it known that he intends to land with one team and one team alone is a tough pill to swallow. Nevertheless, given how toxic the James Harden situation has become, something has to give eventually.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After a hard-fought battle, LA fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 101-100. The loss was also compounded by the fact that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-terance-mann-ejected-kawhi-leonard-hit-with-tech-in-testy-moment-vs-thunder" rel="noopener">Kawhi Leonard and Terance Mann</a> both got involved in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-lac-fans-furious-over-power-tripping-ref-going-after-kawhi-leonard-terance-mann" rel="noopener">now-controversial incident</a> with a referee, which led to a rare Kawhi tech as well as an ejection for Mann.</p><p>Before anything else, here is the incident in question:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kawhi gets a tech, Terance Mann gets two and the ejection 😳 <a href="https://t.co/tlfSHS3TTH">pic.twitter.com/tlfSHS3TTH</a></p><p>— NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNNBA/status/1638382944845959168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>First of all, it’s not every day that you see Kawhi Leonard that animated. It’s even less of an occurrence that the Clippers superstar gets whistled for a technical foul, so you know that he was clearly incensed by the non-call. Mann then complained to the referee, who obviously didn’t like what he heard from the Clippers forward. It only took him a couple of seconds before calling a second tech on Mann, which then led to the latter’s ejection from the game.</p><p>Fans weren’t happy about this whole incident, with power-tripping allegations being thrown in the direction of the whistle-happy referee. True enough, the NBA has decided to act on the controversy and has now <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAOfficial/status/1639015329262186496" rel="noopener">decided to backtrack</a> on the ref’s heat-of-the-moment call on Terance Mann:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Terance Mann's (LAC) second technical foul (4:24, 2nd qtr) from the game on 3/21/23 has been rescinded upon league office review.</p><p>— NBA Official (@NBAOfficial) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBAOfficial/status/1639015329262186496?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 23, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>This only means that Mann will no longer have to pay a fine for his second tech and his ejection, but the Clippers stud will still need to dig into his pocket to cover the fine for the first one. Nevertheless, the fact that his second tech was rescinded won’t have any impact on the outcome of the game whatsoever. It just proves that the referee was wrong in ejecting Mann, and the league has pretty much owned up to his mistake.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Thus, it’s always a welcome sight for fans to witness Leonard become much <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-finals-video-raptors-kawhi-leonard-seen-dancing-rare-show-emotion" rel="noopener">more expressive of his emotions</a> — which is exactly what happened during the Clippers’ Tuesday night battle against the Oklahoma City Thunder.</p><p>Late in the second quarter, Leonard drove hard to the hoop against Thunder wing Aaron Wiggins. The Clippers star powered through what appeared to be a grab from Wiggins, finishing a gorgeous layup in the process. However, Leonard, justifiably, wanted an and-one call; in a rare occurrence, and with an incredulous look on his face, the Klaw made his feelings known by clapping towards the direction of referee Mousa Dagher. But that just <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-terance-mann-ejected-kawhi-leonard-hit-with-tech-in-testy-moment-vs-thunder" rel="noopener">opened the floodgates</a>.</p><p>Dagher, perhaps taken aback by Kawhi Leonard’s response to a non-call, quickly called a technical on the Clippers star. This prompted Terance Mann to try and talk to the referee as well. However he too got a technical foul for his troubles. To top it all off, Mann, after receiving his technical foul, expressed his disbelief with a loud clap, which, apparently, was the final straw for Dagher, as the official ended up ejecting Mann from the game.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-nba-admits-refs-cost-la-game-celtics-lebron-james-no-call" rel="noopener">Given the officiating inconsistencies</a> that all teams have experienced this year, it’s no surprise that Clippers fans became furious with how quickly the situation escalated — from a made basket no less.</p><p>Clippers fans, beat writers, and even analyst Mike Fratello <a href="https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1638382087886745602" rel="noopener">simply could not fathom</a> how Kawhi Leonard and Terance Mann’s actions warranted a technical foul, and in the latter’s case, an early trip to the showers.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This was one of the wildest referee moments I've seen.

However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-terance-mann-fires-back-at-29-nba-gms-who-passed-on-him-in-draft" rel="noopener">Mann showed what he was capable of</a> in the 2021 playoffs, when he stepped up immensely for an injured Kawhi Leonard. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-paul-georges-immediate-reaction-to-terance-manns-shocking-game-6" rel="noopener">He scored 39 points</a> – a career best up to this day – to lead the way for the Clippers’ first-ever Western Conference Finals appearance.</p><p>It may not have been the most linear career progression, but two years later, Terance Mann finds himself as the Clippers’ starting point guard amid their uneven play during the 2022-23 campaign. And for his part, Mann has done a solid job holding the fort with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George still getting into their rhythms. In fact, he has impressed the Clippers brass enough that they remain unwilling to part ways with the 26-year old guard with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-biggest-need-2023-nba-trade-deadline" rel="noopener">trade deadline approaching</a>.</p><p>Per Law Murray of The Athletic, <a href="https://theathletic.com/4116420/2023/01/23/clippers-nba-trade-deadline/?source=nbatw" rel="noopener">a source within the Clippers organization said</a> that “there is belief that Mann could be the team’s starting point guard beyond this season” even if head coach Tyronn Lue views Mann as more of a small forward. Thus, they “<a href="https://marcstein.substack.com/p/nba-trade-deadline-latest-whispers-016?utm_source=post-email-title&amp;publication_id=392205&amp;post_id=98381021&amp;isFreemail=false&amp;utm_medium=email" rel="noopener">continue to swat away</a>” trade overtures for Mann, according to Marc Stein.</p><p>Among the guards in the Clippers roster, Terance Mann is one of the few players who’s able to put pressure on the rim. This is something the Clippers have lacked at times, as they have often settled for contested jump shots that make their life on offense more difficult than it has to be.</p><p>Thus, it’s clear why the Clippers view Mann as an integral part of their future. Mann infuses one of the oldest teams in the NBA with the youthful verve they need. Of course, it has not helped that Reggie Jackson, a fellow 2021 postseason hero, has struggled, while John Wall hasn’t been the game-changing addition plenty of fans thought he would be.</p><p>More than Terance Mann’s memorable 39-point game against the Utah Jazz in 2021, he has evidently bought enough goodwill within the organization for him to continue on with a large role in a team with championship aspirations. Hopefully for Clippers fans, Mann continues to progress as the point guard the team sorely needs to get over their dreaded postseason hump.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

RUMOR: Clippers’ long-term Terance Mann outlook will open eyes ahead of trade deadline

Terance Mann was the architect behind that mind-blowing come-from-behind victory that saw LA take the series against Utah to advance to the West Finals.</p><p>It’s been well over a year since that unforgettable performance, but it still lives in Mann’s memory clearly. Recently speaking on Clips Nations’ <i><a href="https://www.clipsnation.com/2022/8/10/23300679/clippers-podcast-courtside-terance-mann">Courtside</a> </i>podcast, the 25-year-old opened up about the mindset the Clippers had right before they pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in NBA Playoffs history (h/t <a href="https://www.clipsnation.com/2022/8/11/23301911/terance-mann-clippers-jazz-nba-western-conference-semifinals">John Sexton of Clips Nations</a>):</p><blockquote>“We were down by like 25 or something like that but… We knew we were mentally stronger than their team, so we knew we were going to bring ourselves back in the game and give ourselves a chance,” Mann said.“Everybody was confident about that at half time and that kind of was the speech; we know what they’re capable of, we know they’re gonna let us back in the game. Just once we do get back in the game, stick to the game plan and do what we do.”</blockquote><p>This speaks volumes of what the Clippers thought about their opponents in that series, as well as the type of confidence they had in their own group. True enough, they proved themselves right as they took down the Jazz in sensational fashion. It was an amazing finish to a memorable series.</p><p>This was also without a doubt the biggest game of Terance Mann’s career thus far, as he exploded with 25 points in the second half to lead the comeback. The 6-foot-5 swingman finished with a career-high 39 points on no less than seven triples. That performance was definitely one for the books.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This is without a doubt one of the emerging rivalries in the NBA, and at the center of this feud are Terance Mann and Luka Doncic.</p><p>Mann and Doncic have had their fair share of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-luka-doncics-nsfw-trash-talk-at-too-small-terance-mann-gets-him-ted-up/">confrontations</a> on the basketball court. It seems that these two players just don’t like each other very much. So much so, that some folks see their relationship as a full-on rivalry.</p><p>For his part, however, Mann was quick to play down the beef rumors. Speaking to <a href="https://www.ballysports.com/watch/vod/terance-mann-clippers-can-win-it-all-with-addition-of-wall" rel="noopener">Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Bally Sports</a>, the Clippers stud revealed that his supposed “rivalry” with Luka Doncic is nothing more than their innate competitive spirit spilling over (h/t <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/clippers/news/terance-mann-reveals-truth-about-luka-doncic-rivalry">Joey Linn of FanNation</a>):</p><blockquote>“I wouldn’t say we’re rivals,” Mann said. “It’s all on-court stuff, fun and games. I think we’re out there making each other better. Just out there battling and getting under each other’s skin, and that’s part of the game.”</blockquote><p>It doesn’t sound like this is anything personal — at least for Mann. Whatever the case may be, these two players always seem to have something to say to each other whenever they face off on the court. While we are not aware of the full extent of their subject of discussion, I believe that it would be safe to say that these talks are not exactly very friendly in nature.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It seems like those days are now gone, and the fact that the Golden State Warriors are the defending champions is a clear testament to this fact. Even Los Angeles Clippers swingman Terance Mann appears to believe in this notion.</p><p>Mann was recently asked about his prediction for the Clippers in 2022-23. The 25-year-old got brutally honest in his assessment as he explained why he believes the balance of power has shifted back to the Western Conference:</p><blockquote>“I think the West is a monster conference right now,” Mann said, via <a href="https://twitter.com/ballysports/status/1549076532118753280">Scoop B of the Bally Sports</a>. “I feel like it’s back to where it kinda used to be. Every night it’s a battle. Every night you’re facing a superstar… Even when you play OKC you gotta play Shai. It’s every night.“Everybody is healthy. I can’t name one star that’s unhealthy right now going into next year, so it’s gonna be a fight, and it’s gonna be hard to get into that top-8 for anybody.”</blockquote><p>To be fair, the Clippers are expected to be fully healthy again next season. This means that both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are going to be good to go for LA when the season starts — at least hopefully.</p><p>With these two superstars in the mix, the Clippers are going to be title <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-the-1-factor-not-named-kawhi-leonard-or-paul-george-that-could-lead-la-to-glory-in-2022-23/">contenders</a>. It’s as simple as that.

Despite his slander, however, it appears that the Clippers still want Beverley back in LA.</p><p>Beverley jumped on the comments section of Paul George’s Instagram post as the Timberwolves vet joked about not being invited to a recent Clippers workout (h/t <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/clippers/news/paul-george-tells-patrick-beverley-never-too-late-to-rejoin-clippers">Farbod Esnaashari of SI.com</a>):</p><blockquote>“S–t b crazzy.

I guess now only weddings,” Beverley said.</blockquote><p>This was when George decided to fire back at his former Clippers teammate with a bit of a dig:</p><blockquote>“you chose the other side but it’s not too late,” PG responded.</blockquote><p>Terance Mann then jumped in on the exchange by reiterating George’s comment:</p><blockquote>“never too late,” Mann wrote.</blockquote><figure><img src="https://www.si.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Ch_2000%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_2000/MTkwMzQ1NzE3NTY1MzY3NTU2/fvuw1zaviaahj9l.jpg"></figure><figure><img src="https://www.si.com/.image/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Ch_2000%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_2000/MTkwMzQ1NzE5NzEyODUxMzQ4/fvu1wb6veaaound.jpg"></figure><p>Beverley responded by saying that it was a “low blow,” but he completely ignored the bit about re-joining the Clippers.</p><p>For what it’s worth, Beverley will be entering the final year of his contract this coming season. It remains to be seen if Minnesota will offer him an extension or if they decide to cash in on him now. Either way, it sounds like the Clippers (or at least George and Mann) will be monitoring Pat Bev’s situation with the Timberwolves.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Norman Powell, who they traded for a week before the trade deadline, played three games before getting injured. The vacancies left the Clippers’ stars on both ends of the floor couldn’t be filled by any one player, so instead, everyone bought in.</p><p>Led by head coach Tyronn Lue, the Clippers have seen every player on the roster take a step forward this season, seizing the opportunities presented to them and running away with it. The team currently has a 36-35 record with just 11 games remaining, and it’s not surprising to Terance Mann.</p><p>“I mean that says a lot about this group,” <a href="https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1498868381709070342" rel="noopener">Mann said after a recent Clippers win</a>. “A lot of people wrote us off the map once they figured out who was hurt and who was injured and they really don’t know what we got and that says a lot for our group.

Marcus Morris has also taken on the role of a number one option, with the Clippers centering their offense on him and his post-ups at times.</p><p>Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris have been more of a 1A-1B scoring punch this season as opposed to clear first and second scoring options.</p><p>Terance Mann, who signed his contract extension last offseason, has taken his game to another level after starting the season off slowly. Alongside Mann has been Luke Kennard, who is shooting a career-high and NBA-leading 45.5 percent from three this season. Nearly every other three-pointer Kennard puts up goes in. That’s incredible to actually think about.</p><p>Terance Mann and Luke Kennard have played 1,116 minutes together this season, second most among all two-man lineups on the Clippers behind Reggie Jackson and Ivica Zubac.</p><p>Since the All-Star break, Ivica Zubac is averaging 6.0 post-ups per game. That’s fourth in the NBA behind Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, and Kristaps Porzingis and more than Karl-Anthony Towns, Nikola Vucevic, and LeBron James, who the Lakers have been using as their center often.</p><p>Amir Coffey has been fantastic playing on his two-way contract. Nicolas Batum has been his great all-around self. Robert Covington or, ‘the fastest hands in the league, per Reggie Jackson, has come in and made an immediate impact. Isaiah Hartenstein has brought a bit of a point guard feel at the center position, which the second unit has benefited from tremendously this season.</p><p>Tyronn Lue believes that, even without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, this Clippers team will fight and compete until the very end.</p><p>“[We have] no give in,” Tyronn Lue said. “No matter who is on the floor, we want to compete every single night and we want to win games. So this unit we have, they have shown that they can do that. And every night, we are going to compete and try to win. Like I said, you are not going to win every game and you are not going to play well every game. But if you continue to build the right habits, you will win more games than you lose and we have done that so far.”</p><p>Reggie Jackson isn’t even willing to place a guess on how far these Clippers can go.</p><p>“I don’t ever put no ceiling on anything,” <a href="https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1499628210447073280" rel="noopener">Jackson said</a> after a recent win. “Like the tournament, you just got to get in. You get in and anything can happen. I understand statistics, I understand certain teams might not want at certain seeds before, but, I mean shoot, why not? Why not defy the odds? It took eventually one team in the NBA to come back from a 1-3 deficit and then it’s been done more and more. Why not be one of the first? Why not be one of the first? That’s our team mentality is we’re going to continue to push, we’re going to continue to go each and every game and we’ll see where the chips fall.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"I don't ever put a ceiling on anything.

(<a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/1497432678752157696">via ESPN</a>)</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">LeBron with the BIG swat and bigger smile 🚫😁 <a href="https://t.co/0voPQd9yn2" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/0voPQd9yn2</a></p><p>— ESPN (@espn) <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/1497432678752157696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">February 26, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>That’s a rare LeBron smile during a game, especially during this disastrous Lakers season.</p><p>James’ shot-blocking ability is one of the more underrated aspects of his game. While the Lakers star isn’t on the same level as, say, Anthony Davis in his prime, he can still alter shots at the rim. It was a lot more prominent during LeBron’s physical prime in Miami: he would often be the last line of defense when the defense rotates, and he’d do well in those situations. Just ask Tiago Splitter.</p><p>What’s even crazier is that despite his age and mileage on his body, LeBron’s still good for a good block or two every game. The Lakers star had to reach high up to contest Mann’s layup attempt, and he got to it pretty well. Not bad for a guy as old as ‘Bron, who is still in peak condition at age 37.</p><p>There’s still plenty of work left for LeBron and the Lakers though. The team has been struggling since the start of the season. Rumors about LeBron and his management clashing with the Lakers ownership have surfaced, but has since been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-future-discussed-in-rich-paul-jeanie-buss-rob-pelinka-meeting/">shut down</a> by LeBron’s camp. A win against the next-door neighbor in the Clippers would be a nice start to their post-All-Star run.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If you ask him, it’s just another week in the NBA.</p><p>Behind 19 points, three rebounds, and a clutch 3-pointer from Mann, the extremely shorthanded Clippers upset the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Saturday night. Eric Bledsoe led the way for LA with 27 points, three rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocked shots. It’s one of the biggest wins of the season for a Clippers team that has been on a roller coaster so far.</p><p>“It just shows our grit.,” Terance Mann said after the win. “It shows what we’ve been here in the last year and a half in terms of next-man-up mentality. Just shows what we’re capable of, really.”</p><p>Mann was able to lead his Clippers to a win over the Boston Celtics last Wednesday night. Having grown up in Lowell, Massachusetts, he called it “amazing” and a “dream come true” to play in TD Garden, a place he used to go watch games from the nosebleeds.</p><p>Sunday marked Terance Mann’s return to his birthplace in Brooklyn. He says it’s just as meaningful.</p><p>“It means a lot for me,” Mann added. “I mean, I was born down the street in Brooklyn hospital. So being from Brooklyn, my whole family’s here. Hitting that big shot in front of a big-time team, it’s just nice.”</p><p>The Clippers were down 11 players, plus their head coach. Tyronn Lue, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Marcus Morris, Nicolas Batum, Ivica Zubac, Luke Kennard, Isaiah Hartenstein, Brandon Boston, Moses Wright, Jay Scrubb, and Jason Preston all missed the game due to injury, rest, or health and safety protocols. Three of the five players who played off their bench — James Ennis, Wenyen Gabriel, Xavier Moon — were 10-day COVID hardship signings, all of whom contributed some part in the win.</p><p>“I think the big thing was our guys didn’t hang their heads and just give in once Brooklyn went on their run,” acting head coach Brian Shaw said after the win. “Our second unit did a great job, both stints, when they came in the first and second half, and then they cut it down to six and I subbed our starters back in to bring it home with exception to Serge. Maybe Serge was in there for a minute.</p><p>“Then Brooklyn went on a run, we hit a couple of 3s and they came back and hit a couple, and at that point, we could have just given in. But they just kept fighting. It just goes to show in this league, anything can happen on any given night. You win some that you are maybe not supposed to win, and then you lose some that you are maybe not supposed to lose. Although we felt bad about last night because we were in control of that game for a good part of it, we didn’t make the plays down the stretch that it took to win last night’s game. But tonight was the absolute opposite of that. We made the plays, Bled played great on both ends of the ball, he found guys, got in the paint all night, they shared the ball, different guys hit big shots, big free throws, and that was the difference in the result from last night to tonight.”</p><p><i><b>*Watch NBA games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener noreferrer">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><p>James Harden finished with a 34-point, 12-rebound, 13-assist triple-double, while Kevin Durant poured in 28 points and nine rebounds. Patty Mills scored 17 points but fouled out in the fourth quarter, allowing the Clippers to adjust their defense to guard the only two shooters on the floor: Durant and Harden.</p><p>“They only got two shooters!” Durant said the Clippers yelled after Mills’ sixth foul.</p><p>“It was just easier for us to be able to pack the paint and get some stops, and rebound. With [Mills] out there, it’s kind of hard, because you almost don’t have a defender out there. You’re hugging him on the 3-point line because of how great of a job he shoots the 3. You say he did a great job last week. He shot 5-for-9 from 3 today. And I felt like it was more, the way they were going in. But he’s a great player. So it’s hard when he’s out there to be able to shrink gaps.”</p><p>The Clippers shrunk enough of the floor, sending doubles at Harden and Durant late and forcing guys like James Johnson to score. They didn’t, and the Clippers capitalized, capped off by Terance Mann’s game-sealing 3-pointer with 23 seconds remaining.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Terance Mann is CLUTCH 🎯</p><p>Puts the Clippers up 4 with less than a minute to go!<a href="https://t.co/LmAOjDiS75" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/LmAOjDiS75</a></p><p>— Clippers Nation (@ClipperNationCP) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClipperNationCP/status/1477474508789276675?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">January 2, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Beyond just the final few minutes, Kevin Durant says his Nets didn’t do a good job of entering the game with the right mindset. Considering the Clippers were missing 11 players, it’s easy to see why.</p><p>“It’s natural when a team is missing so many players,” Durant said after the loss. “They’ve been going through so much over there and you relax. You don’t think you could lose an NBA game like this.</p><p>“We get up 10, then miss a layup or turn the ball over and they get a fast break. Give up a 3, straight-line drive. Like coach said, we didn’t deserve to win this game. We came in here with a fucked up attitude to start, thinking we was just gonna walk into a W.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"We didn't deserve to win this game.

January, however, isn’t getting any easier.</p><p>Their next five games are all against teams in the playoff hunt: Timberwolves, Suns, Grizzlies, Hawks, and Nuggets. Four of those will be at home, but there’s a good chance the team will still be pretty severely shorthanded due to health and safety protocols.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
