Kawhi and Paul George with a couple of extra positive words with Alperen Sengun after Sengun goes for 23/19/14 in loss to the Clippers. At 21, Sengun is already an All-Star caliber player who is a beast in the making. – 10:07 PM

The bench has been calling for the Rockets to foul Plumlee and they failed to do it on back-to-back possessions. George hit a 3 on the first and then Kawhi hit a jumper on the second and he was fouled – 9:53 PM

Rockets 57, Clippers 44 at half. Şengün with 13 rebounds. Matched career high of 16 last night. Rockets bench outscores Clippers’ 24-12. Kawhi Leonard with 12. Rockets will have to figure out how to attack the centerless lineup. – 8:40 PM

Jabari Smith Jr. is working on the floor pregame. Listed as questionable due to illness and would likely be Kawhi Leonard’s primary defender – 5:39 PM

Law Murray: Kawhi Leonard on turning page: “I mean, yeah. You got to. It’s a lot of games in this league. You can’t just stay on one loss. So you know, it’s the next game.” pic.twitter.com/uaLs0EUQ7r -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / March 5, 2024
Law Murray: Kawhi Leonard postgame in Milwaukee – Mentioned that shots didn’t fall after paint touches vs zone (Kawhi missed 8 of last 9 shots) – Said Dame was capable of winning a game by himself, and he did that – Noticed Portis caught an early rhythm and was able to maintain it late pic.twitter.com/Aa3zgZk6p5 -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / March 5, 2024
Law Murray: The Clippers did NOT foul, did not allow a clean look for Minnesota, Ant gets a dunk with 3 seconds left, then Clippers inbound and advance ball, with Leonard tipping ball up so he couldn’t be fouled 89-88 Clippers win. First in Minnesota since November 2021. DEFENSE. -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / March 3, 2024
