The Clippers' offense did not look like it was ranked last in the NBA when it trounced...
LA Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. drives past Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. in the first half of game action at the Toyota Center on Monday, Nov. 14, 2022 in Houston.The Clippers had been better offensively lately, seemingly snapping out of their early season funk. But not like this.
Averaging 103.9 points, the fewest in the NBA, and averaging 102 in the previous games against the Rockets, the Clippers topped that with 7:20 left to play. Kevin Porter Jr. added 20 points, but made just 6 of 18 shots, going 0 for 4 on 3s, and 8 of 15 from the line.K.J. Martin was smashing rims. Again and again, he lefthanded home the most violent of slams, especially the two that followed the technical foul he received for celebrating the dunk he put in on Ivica Zubac too much for official Rodney Mott’s liking.
Some can be corrected, Stephen Silas said, with video study, drills and most of all experience. The illegal screens, the forced drives into traffic, the foot shuffles to start drives can be excised. Take them away and the Rockets might still lead the NBA in turnovers per game. But they can give themselves the kind of chance they did not have when they committed 26 in New Orleans on Saturday or nearly matched that pace in the first half on Monday.
