Film Room: One Play That Stood Out [Oct. 28, 2024]
The best part of waking up is defense in your cup.
There’s a scene in the movie Friday After Next where comedian Katt Williams is talking to Ice Cube while holding Terry Crews at bay with a pair of pliers. Williams asks Cube if he’s ever seen a rottweiler fight a chihuahua.
Now, you might be wondering: What does this have to do with a play from Sunday night’s LA Clippers game?
Well, Kris Dunn is the rottweiler in this scenario. And the Golden State Warriors? They get the honorary role of the chihuahua. Dunn went right at them on both ends of the floor, chewed them up, spit them out, and kept coming back from more.
Dunn, who put up six points, nine rebounds, four assists, four steals, and seven deflections in his 28 minutes of action, repeatedly traumatized the Warriors on the defensive end, and the play that we’re going to look at was a pivotal one. It helped turn the tide of things late in the game as the Clippers put a stamp on their second win of the season.
