00:00The Los Angeles Clippers are just one win away from the Western Conference
00:05Finals after defeating the Denver Nuggets in Game 4 of the semifinals.
00:09Joining me now from all Clippers is Farbaad Esnashari. Farbaad, the Clippers
00:14now lead the series 3-1. What were the keys to victory in Game 4 and how
00:20does Los Angeles keep the momentum going to win Game 5 and advance to the Western
00:25Conference Finals? So it all starts on the defensive end for the Clippers. I
00:29mean the only game that they lost was because of the fact that they didn't
00:33play defense in Game 2 and allowed Denver to score 44 points in the first
00:36quarter. So if they can keep bottling up Jamal Murray, which they've been doing, it
00:41basically makes Jokic a one-man show and everybody else who's kind of
00:45inconsistent on the team has to step up and the only person who seems to be
00:48doing that is Michael Porter Jr. So it's all going to keep doing what they're doing
00:53and stay out of foul trouble because this game, the only time it got kind of
00:57close is because they got in foul trouble. They stay out of the foul, play
01:01good defense and they'll be good because even today they couldn't hit a three
01:05point shot to save their lives and they were still up 18 points. Yeah so coming
01:10down to defense I think it looks good in the first quarter which is another plus.
01:13Farbaad, thanks so much for your insight. Appreciate it. No worries.
