The Warriors became the second team to overcome a 20 point deficit this season. The Bulls were the first when they took down Dame and his Blazers this past week.

After having 23 points in the first 3 quarters on efficient shooting from the field, he seemed to tense up going into the 4^th quarter. He made just one basket in the 4^th quarter, which was at the 10:19 minute mark. He proceeded to have two crucial turnovers and wouldn’t attempt another shot for the rest of the night.

Many NBA analysts such as Shannon Sharpe have called out Paul George for his poor play in the clutch and his reluctance to take over when needed. For the Clippers to be as dominant as advertised, both PG and Kawhi need to assert their wills on the game through all 4 quarters.
