During the Clippers’ win over the Knicks Sunday, there was a key sequence in the third quarter when Reggie Jackson hit two 3-pointers late in the shot clock to stretch LA’s lead from two to eight. What was interesting about both of Jackson’s threes was that the passes were essentially grenades: Jackson received the ball with so little time left on the shot clock that he had to shoot, or else he’d probably commit a violation.
It comes as little surprise to learn that the assist man on both those jumpers was Luke Kennard, the man the Clippers players and coaching staff have to keep reminding to shoot.
