The Los Angeles Clipper had to get this one right as they got run right out of Thunder Alley yesterday afternoon as the Regulators Report OKC went in on the Clips! One has to figure at the end of an extended Motel Swing that a tough back to back featuring OKC/Dallas the Clips would fold like an old lawn chair under the Car Port.
Well the Clips answered themselves in this one as they follow the lead of two of their top three players in Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan. With the Clips running out of a 66-53 halftime lead with Paul 12 and Redick ten points things were looking up for the Clips. Couple that with a tough shooting night for the Home Team Mavs the Clips had the "Perfect Storm" brewing in the AA 214.
After a 94-80 lead at the end of the answering the Mavs Runs with their own the Clips as Clips "Big" DeAndre the "Lob City Giant" Jordan gets 13 of his 22 points in the 2nd half along with grabbing some twenty-seven Spalding Oranges. "CP3" had a team-high 25 points and thirteen helpers along with Jamal "206" Crawford adding 22 as well as the Clips win going away 115-98.
The Mavs just could not get over the hump and get close enough to the Clips to get Mavs Nation involved and get the "W". Former UConn Star Charlie Villanueva (from AAU Powerhouse the Long Island Panthers) led the Mavs off the bench with 26 points in just 22 minutes. It didn't help that "Mississippi Lightning" in Mavs Combo Guard Monta Ellis went down early in the 1st with a bad hip strain. Chandler Parsons added 16 points and hauled in a dozen boards as the Mavs fall to 35-19 wit the Clips moving to 35-18 in a packed top-heavy Western Conference.
