Detroit Pistons vs Los Angeles Clippers - Full Game Highlights - November 17, 2022 NBA Season

Our story returns home where the Clippers look for their ninth win of the season and they'll get a little help in the biggest way. Kawhi Leonard returns to the show after missing the last 12 games. Leonard and the Clippers play five of the next six in downtown Los Angeles starting tonight with the Detroit Pistons. And a gone by choppy start. Morris zigs and zags his way around. Bogdanovich gets into the heart of the lane and knocks it down. It's one of four the Clippers are from the field. Pistons 0 for 3. Jackson the floater. And the one time Pistons here. On what his minute restriction will be here tonight but trust that there is one. Ivey down the lane and laying him. The first overall pick back in 2021. Being listed as a shin injury. Bogdanovich has played very well all year. They trap him from the baseline side. The pass had to be awful long for Kawhi to get it but he does recover to get to his spot. Turns and fires to the baseline. The jump shot is good. Surrounded by one jersey. He's trying to play back to Morris. Picked off by Hayes. Gets it ahead to Ivey. Double clutching layup is good. Three of their last five from the field. Bogdanovich crossing blades with Jackson. Fades from 14 and knocks it down. George spots an entry in the lane. Takes it. Gets up. Not there. Zoo with a rebound. Bogdanovich rumbles down the lane. It's good. What a soft touch. Alec Burks out there. He's a prime time scorer. Rebound goes to Durin inside. Powell from the wing to the lane to the rim. Blocked from behind by Durin. Recovered by Ivey. From the line to the lane to the rim and in. After all those playoff battles that they had. Clippers miss. Coming out of the tight end. Durin makes the grab. Misses. Recovers. Flushes. Swift. Pistons by 12. I will say they are just 3-12 on the year. They have 10 point lead. First quarter from the Clippers. Going back to Brooklyn. Dallas on Tuesday. Tonight against the Pistons. Ball back the other way. Kawhi Leonard out there with the Clippers. They bounce it into Powell. Back to the basket. They struggled the last few nights out. Turnover Clippers. He knows how to finish. They come in in this season. 20th in fast break points. It's good. The rankings in the NBA. 12 to shoot for the Clippers. Plenty of time. Jackson to paint touches. Five shots right now for the Clippers from distance. The team that was electric from downtown. A year ago. Georgia. Playoffs probably not going to happen this year for the Pistons. They are going to be looking at the lottery. A couple names out there. Detroit 5-15 to play in this first half. Let's see what happens when you push it hard. Somebody winds up being open. Tough inbound. Not a lot of spacing. They get out. Make it happen. There's been a strong effort here by the Pistons. They want to play against the Clippers half court defense. The rookie finds Bogdanovich. Enjoying those benefits. Down by one to this Pistons squad. It's good. Puts the Pistons out in front by four. Detroit playing with confidence on both sides of the ball. He does. Takes a lot of pride in his defense. Bogdanovich waltzing down the lanes in distance. Would have been a beautiful free corner had it gone down. Bogdanovich turning the corner, creating for his teammates. Third trip. Ivy on the wing, open for three and lets it fly. It's gone for the rookie, Jaden Ivy. You never need to poke the bear, meaning being the bear, to talk about Evita Zubac. He does. Fifth three for the... He's got Bogdanovich down there to take advantage of. He's got to pound it in to him quickly. Jackson wants to take advantage of him. Takes right, goes left down the lane. Send a shoot for George. Zu clearing everybody out. They miss him inside. So a contested three by Morris. Guy pinned on his back. Hayes. Bay into the paint. Bounces to Bagley. Nice play there from... Sends a player off the dribble. Then you get in the paint and force the big man to step up. And that leaves his guy wide open. Morris all alone on the wing for three. Can he do it again? Yes, sir. For the Clippers. The most efficient second half we've ever seen. The Clippers are 23-32 from the field. Ivy down the lane, finds Bogdanovich. Rainbow three is good. Back pick screen freed up Bogdanovich for that look from behind the three-point line. Morris has hit a couple of threes. Takes it to the 15-foot mark. A little ball fake. Defender flew by him, and he had the look he wanted. 15-plus rebound gain for Zu, most in the league. Ivy inside. Counted and a foul. Back in the first quarter. Have not been able to get back. George disappears behind a Zu screen, reappears, and comes up firing. Man with a rebound. You need a little energy. Soaring to the rim. With caution abandoned. Powell down the lane. Is lurking by. Plays catch with Wall. Back to Powell. Corner three. It's good. And Terrence Mann takes it away. The Clippers hunting for the lead. Last time they were out in front, it was 11-10. Wall. Mann. Third quarter, yet still are shooting less than 40%. They lead by one. Ball in. Throws it right into the hands. It hurts Diallo. Delivers. Lay it in. Tough question. I thoroughly enjoy many different flavors of M&M's. Diallo knocks it down. Deficit for the Clippers. Jackson. The corner three is good. And we are tied. One piston to another. Marcus Morris inside. Off the window. And in. An extra point. Hayes. Contested. Good cover. He runs his show on the dribble. Hand off to George for a deep three and lead. He got it. 70. Leonard. Morris. Contested three. Got it. Five to shoot. Under duress. Into the paint. Floater. It's good. Tough shot. Bay. Kawhi surveys the scene in transition. Sidesteps a defender. To the rim. They come right back at you again before the Clippers can set up their defense. And they get it. Presented by Nissan. Have a good idea that there will be at least a segment, maybe all of them, about Kawhi Leonard. Ivy inside. Puts up the shot. They're going to count it. They should. And if there's a foul, they should count the basket. Rear high and rebounds. 18. George splits a pair of defenders. Lobs it to zero. Makes the flush. 91-83. Timeout Pistons. Bogdanovic. Off the window. And in. He had no review it. But the Clippers need a bucket here. This is far from over. Baseline. Oklahoma City last month. 93-87. A whistle and a foul will go against Paul George. And that will be his fifth with 22 seconds to play. Gets it into the backcourt. Trying to play keep away. Get to the cross half court. And then hit hard by Bay. Then also Ivy is going to bring it across half court. Plays back over to Bogdanovic. Give up that easy two. Possession lead. Morris going to bring it back. He's going to be fouled by Ivy. Here in Los Angeles. No foul coming. The white flag is waived. And the Clippers are winners for the ninth time. They have took the 9-7. Two playoff combatants in the Eastern Conference.
