The Los Angeles Clippers are back to where they have been in every playoff series this year. They are back in a 2-0 hole. Till now they have managed to dig themselves out against the Mavericks and the Jazz. However, things are different this time around, the Clippers don’t have Kawhi Leonard to help them get out of this hole.
In Game 2, the Suns held the lead the entire game, till almost the end. When the Clippers finally got a one-point lead, it was in the final minutes of the game. With 8 seconds left in the game, the Suns fouled Paul George and sent him to the line. Paul ended up missing both the free throws and could not use the chance to build on the Clippers’ lead.

Ja Morant blasts trolls for Paul George and ‘Pandemic P’ slanders
The Clippers did not lose the game on the missed free throws alone. There were quite a few calls that could have gone either way and have changed the course of the game. However, NBA Twitter did not wait to blame it all on PG and started the slander.
Grizzlies star Ja Morant quickly hopped on and went to defend Paul George. It is human to not make every shot, and the people trolling George need to understand that.

It is nice to see other players step up and defend one of their own. After playing the entire game, it is not easy to keep focus, and that too at such a huge stage.
The Clippers would like to turn things around in Game 3. They head back to LA for Game 3 on Thursday.
