Norm Powell and Walker Kessler knocked knees pretty good on that screen β 9:17 PM

I guess im just stating the obvious at this point but Lauri Markkanen is really good β 9:14 PM

Markkanen opens the game with seven points for Utah as part of a 9-0 run. The Clippers have taken two shots. β 9:14 PM

Lauri Markkanen 7, Walker Kessler 2, Clippers 0.

When Sixers blitz ball screen, low man often won’t tag the roller, who gets a dunk. Or, the box rotation is missed and baseline cutter backdoors for a dunk.
Last night, Harden made low man rotation, tagged Zubac, Maxey dropped to box, cut off backdoor. Junked possession for LAC. pic.twitter.com/fBQrng5GXl β 9:04 PM

In regards to John Wall telling Green and Porter that they wouldn’t be able to get away with the things they get away with in Houston anywhere else, I asked Silas if he’s handled them different than other young player he’s coached and how does he hold accountable players: pic.twitter.com/gA0PyTW8Jm β 6:53 PM


Stephen Silas on John Wall’s recent comments:
βWhat John Wall went through here and the situation (he was in) was unprecedented. There was no easy way for it to go down. We tried to make it as good as possible for him as an organizationβ¦There’s frustration and I get it.β β 6:23 PM
