Law Murray: Tyronn Lue acknowledges that reintegrating Kawhi Leonard, who now has a 28-minute restriction in four quarters, has made it challenging on establishing consistent lineups and effective rotations “Right now, it’s been a little difficult… We just got to stay with it.” pic.x.com/qtrLZHPht7

The first time Spurs played Clippers this season, Terance Mann was starting. Last time, Kris Dunn started.
Tonight, it will be Kawhi Leonard.

The NBA head coaches select the 14 All-Star reserves — also known as the line between being honored and being snubbed.
Tyronn Lue has voted already. Mitch Johnson hasn’t yet, while joking that Gregg Popovich probably already has a ballot ready pic.x.com/wOzZboWqBH – 7:07 PM

Asked Tyronn Lue about starting games vs Spurs better, and also Clippers offense vs Victor Wembanyama.
When Wemby is on the floor, Spurs allow only 108.9 points/100 possessions. When Wemby is off the floor, Spurs allow 115.6 points/100.
That’s like going from 4th to 25th. pic.x.com/ie3itbbN5G – 6:55 PM

This was a crazy sequence.
Devin Booker forced a jump ball of James Harden.
Ty Lue came onto the court to address it.
Booker won tip.
Durant hit a 3 to give Phoenix a 13-point lead with 5:08 remaining.
Suns lead down to one, 107-106, with 40.4 seconds left. Timeout. #Suns pic.x.com/PSJIM0AAi4 – 11:43 PM

Bud challenges out of bounds ruling, and this looks like it’ll be a loose ball foul on Kawhi Leonard drawn by Mason Plumlee – 11:23 PM

With the Clippers going small since Zubac sat in the late 3rd, the Suns briefly went small for a minute but Plumlee is back in. Kawhi is playing free safety off him. – 11:22 PM

Kawhi woke up a bit. Clippers have cut it to 4 after a good job by the Suns to stop the bleeding. Leonard is at 25 minutes so let’s see how much longer he’s out there for. That is already his season high. – 11:19 PM

Kawhi is out after playing 21:28.
His limit has been 24 and he has not played in a fourth quarter yet.
You know what that means dammit pic.x.com/6cO8kwpmWh – 11:01 PM

A 9-0 Clippers run capped by a Kawhi dunk (GREAT sign) eliminated Suns lead, but Devin Booker hits the 17th 3 of the night for Phoenix to reclaim a 69-67 Suns lead
Timeout Clippers with 4:36 left to play. Good time to get subs in with first unit doing their job to erase deficit. – 10:59 PM

Norm was good down the stretch as well.” -via Los Angeles Times / January 26, 2025
