What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Thunder call timeout with LA leading 43-34. 8:56 left in first half.
You can see the upside with Bones and where he needs to develop. Can get by his man and plays hard on the break. But consistently finishing a big issue: 1 of 4 in paint.
Clippers 6 of 14 in paint overall. – 11:16 PM

New ESPN story: Paul George avoided torn ligaments on his sprained right knee. Still, a possible return in the playoffs — if the Clippers clinch a berth without him — is considered optimistic as of now espn.com/nba/story/_/id…11:14 PM

Kawhi is just special. These are two desperate teams, in a good way. Unreal pace in that first quarter. Going to be interesting to see how the Thunder/Clippers play the cat and mouse game of capitalizing on the non-Shai/non-Kawhi minutes. – 11:09 PM

LA leads Thunder 36-29 at the end of 1.
Casual reprogrammed 15-point, 7-for-7 quarter for Kawhi Leonard.
Clippers at 63.6% FGs even though Kawhi spent damn near the whole quarter outside of the paint. – 11:08 PM

Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Tyronn Lue said pregame that with Paul George out Kawhi Leonard could not ease into the game, he had to bring it early.

The bad news: Kawhi Leonard is 7-7 for 15 points on all jumpers despite having a hand in his face every shot.

While Paul George will miss remainder of reg. season and it remains to be seen when he can return for potential postseason, George avoided ligament damage. He has to let knee sprain heal, be reassessed and then need ramp up. A potential return in first round might be optimistic – 8:47 PM

At the end of a 2-3 week window of rest, Paul George will be re-evaluated and his mobility will be tested. From there, how quickly he can return depends on mobility and how he feels. Was told a return by George for a first-round series might be overly optimistic. – 8:44 PM

Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Paul George won’t be at Crypto tonight as he begins his rehab. There’s an optimism as it begins: The imaging showed PG avoided damaging the ligaments in his knee. Surgery isn’t something that is expected to be needed for George. – 8:39 PM
Live stream: Thunder 34, Clippers 43
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
What does not change: he will need to be re-evaluated at a time when Clippers are at the very end of regular season, at earliest.
His return to play will be dependent on how he is feeling.
And, of course, if the Clippers have any games left to bring him back. – 8:38 PM
