What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Reggie Jackson’s 14 assists tonight vs Rockets were the most by a Clipper since Chris Paul had 14 in March 2017 at Denver. – 1:22 AM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann Furkan Korkmaz on being picked up by Giannis: “I felt like I got the rebound. And then he grabbed me from my arms and everything. Sometimes refs don’t see it or call it. That happens, game of basketball, but it’s a pretty funny look.” pic.twitter.com/6b3iWX7uE1 – 12:51 AM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Reggie Jackson with 13 dimes. His most in four seasons.
If Clippers second unit handles their business, he won’t add to that. – 12:10 AM

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif This is only Reggie Jackson’s fourth game of 10+ points and 10+ assists since joining the Clippers. In the three previous instances he did it in 34, 38 and 38 minutes. He’s done it tonight in 19. – 11:43 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 Lowry: “But hey, we had fun, right? Right.”
Bam: “Damn, we all had double doubles. Except for Kyle.”
Lowry: “You took the rebound from me.”
Bam: “Which one?”
Lowry: “I don’t know I’m lying.”
Bam: “Exactly.” pic.twitter.com/V8JqAhE6Il – 11:19 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU It looked like Silas’ timeout came just as Reggie Jackson was about to return a pick-six. Good timing, I guess.
LA up 48-37 with 7:58 left in first half. – 11:16 PM

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds Ref Sean Wright, on the Lowry 3 that seemed like it should have been a 2: “By rule, the basket by Lowry must be reviewed at the next clock stoppage which was at the 2:00 mark. Once the ball was inbounded by Charlotte, by rule, the window to review the shot was now closed.” – 10:51 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck Korkmaz has made some quietly great plays here down the stretch. Embiid the guy doing the heavy lifting obviously, but some good off-ball defense and a great effort to (at least) get a tie up with Giannis there – 10:51 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell Not-Giannis’ two free throws gives the Sixers a 120-116 lead with 41.6 seconds to play. He’s up to 42 points on 14-of-21 shooting (and 11-of-14 from the FT line), 15 boards and five assists. – 10:49 PM
Dan Favale @danfavale between jokic and giannis and embiid and demar and cp3 and more this year’s mvp race is so far shaping up to be a matter of many answers coupled with more viable alternatives still rather than an absolute choice or three – 10:47 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell The Bucks’ cheering section is chanting “You’re not Giannis!” while Embiid is at the line.
I suppose that’s a…factually correct statement? – 10:45 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell Not sure I ever envisioned a closing lineup for a game against the Bucks with Niang and Korkmaz, but here we are.
Bucks 116, Sixers 115 with 3:34 to play after Niang buries his fifth 3-ball of the night (on a night he’s guarded Giannis) – 10:40 PM

Kane Pitman @KanePitman Embiid vs. Giannis in the postseason is five years in the making. We get a little taste like this in the regular season every year, but that would be a bloodbath in the playoffs. – 10:31 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 The Kyle Lowry takeover was fun
Erik Spoelstra inbounds are great
But man did Miami really settle in defensively late
I can remember multiple big time stops that Bam, PJ, and Jimmy made in those spots – 10:27 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann Very entertaining game. Jrue has been so good offensively, keeping the Bucks in it.
This little stretch with Giannis on the floor and Embiid off looms large. – 10:17 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU Rockets going with #2 pick Jalen Green, trade acquisition Dennis Schroder, former two-way Garrison Mathews, glue guy Jae’Sean Tate, and Palmdale native Christian Wood as starters in LA
Same dozen Clippers as Tuesday in Phoenix, starting with Jackson, Mann, Batum, Morris, Zubac. – 10:05 PM

Kane Pitman @KanePitman I’d be surprised if Nwora is in the game after the timeout. After his latest heat check Giannis threw his hands in the air. Playing from behind, a few of these shots have not been what Milwaukee need if they want to cut into the deficit. – 10:04 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck The Niang on Giannis strategy is working about as well as you could hope so far, I think. Embiid has done a good job with help at the rim, Sixers simply forcing somebody else to try to beat them – 10:04 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 PJ not throwing the ball in there and just standing in corner makes no sense there
I leave Lowry on the floor as a threat
Not like Kyle can get it back after the inbound with 1 second – 9:47 PM

Kane Pitman @KanePitman Tired: The Bucks acquired Serge Ibaka as Brook Lopez insurance.
Wired: They plan on rolling out Lopez-Serge-Giannis lineups in the playoff matchup against Cleveland. – 9:19 PM

Kane Pitman @KanePitman Most players: Last game before all-star break, let’s just get through unscathed.
Giannis: I’m gonna dive full body into a photographer to save a random ball in the second quarter, get up, sprint up the floor to work on the glass for two offensive rebounds and a put back. – 9:11 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm Second game Giannis Antetokounmpo has dived out of bounds to save a ball. Ridiculous.
This time, he saved it and then got it back from Jrue Holiday for a full-speed rim run. Missed twice, but got his own rebound and finished.
Bucks up, 39-35, with 8:09 left in the first half. – 9:09 PM

Jake Madison @NOLAJake I’d still rather Trey Murphy over Tony Snell, but it’s not Garrett Temple so I’m not complaining right now – 9:03 PM
Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson Ty Lue on Nico Batum’s super-duper-quick release: “Just when he’s feeling good … I see a lot of times he turns down shots too!” – 8:49 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel Tony Snell gets a shooter’s roll on a three and the Pelicans have stormed back to make it a 54-42 game.
Really think Snell is going to prove to be a great addition, one deserving well over 20 minutes per game. – 8:46 PM

Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck Excellent start to this one for Tobias Harris after a brutal game the other night.
Sixers rolling with a combo of Niang and Harris on Giannis so far, leaving Embiid as the last line of defense and roaming a bit off of Portis when he spaces – 8:41 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer Fortunately Luka can’t play all 48 minutes, as he rests to open 2Q. But Bertans nails a deep 3 to keep Mavs rolling. Dal is 10/14 on threes – 8:39 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 I’m just glad to see that Kyle Lowry has shot 7 threes up to this point
Especially in games like this, get them up
4 for 7 from deep – 8:36 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 Biggest thing from Kyle Lowry tonight:
He looks like he wants to score and shoot
A look I expect to see much more in the post-season – 7:17 PM

Justin Kubatko @jkubatko Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 44 points and shot 17-20 from the field on Feb. 8, then scored 50 points and shot 17-21 from the field on Feb. 15.

Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat The again-usual Heat starters: Bam Adebayo, P.J. Tucker, JImmy Butler, Duncan Robinson and Kyle Lowry. Only available reserves: Vincent, Strus, Yurtseven, Guy, Highsmith and Haslem. – 6:33 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 Look for two things tonight from Miami against Charlotte:
– One of the few teams they can switch everything against
– Big Butler game. When Lowry returned recently, the Charlotte game spearheaded a ton with Butler attacking mismatches and thriving
Both should happen tonight – 6:24 PM
