Very discreet since the start of the season with an average of 4 points, Nicholas Batum caught fire last night! Unlike a Trae Young or a Stephen Curry, the Frenchman is not the type to plant ten points in a row with 3-point shots. It’s not his game, nor his style. On the other hand, when his feet are well placed, and he is isolated, often in the corners, he can hurt a lot.
The proof this night with a 7 of 7 at 3-pointers! The Clippers winger only took 3-pointers, so he got them all! This flawless is a franchise record, but it is not an NBA record since it has long been held by Latrell Sprewell (2003) and Ben Gordon (2006 and 2012).
In the way, Batum was remarkable, whether it was waking up his teammates with two winning shots in a row to stop the bleeding, or in the last quarter responding to Luka Doncic. We will also remember that he was not content to stay in the corner, and that he showed off his “catch-and-shoot”, or the feint to catch a cold for his defender.
On arrival, the perfect match with 22 points, but a raging defeat.
“I would have loved to win tonight… But you can’t put yourself in such a position” he regrets. “I know it’s a great team with a great player. It’s always difficult to win away from home, and we almost did. But we have to start the matches better. We have to do a better job, and not end up at -25 on the outside. »
