Little Jordan outjumped Davis, giving the Clippers the first chance to attack.

Cheers erupted throughout the arena, a very positive sign to start the game, their hopes of winning tonight were high!

The Clippers attacked the frontcourt, Paul and Griffin's pick-and-roll followed by Paul's signature fadeaway shot helped the Clippers score first!

Kenny Smith looked at O'Neal with a smile.

See, commentary can't be mindless, it needs professional analysis!

"Swish!"

But just after he finished smiling, Morrow received a pass from Tang Tian in a double-team and hit a three-pointer.

His shot was decisive, and the rhythm looked good.

O'Neal smiled at Smith, his expression as if to say, what was that smile just now? Come on, explain it.

The Clippers' attack, Griffin received a pass from Paul and attacked the basket.

Davis chased behind, and Griffin had a very obvious left-hand hooking motion during the confrontation.

The baseline referee immediately blew his whistle, signaling Griffin's offensive foul.

The arena erupted in boos.

Griffin also ran to the referee to explain.

This was an extra hand motion, which could or could not be called, depending on the referee's standard.

In the past two games, the referees had not called it.

"Back off, we are all enforcing the rules according to the league rules."

Seeing that Paul was also coming up, the referee immediately signaled them to back away.

And what he said was right, they were really enforcing the rules according to the league's requirements.

The Clippers' attack was fruitless, but turning around, Davis also made a mid-range shot after receiving a pass from Tang Tian.

5 to 2!

"The Pelicans are on fire tonight!"

Barkley exclaimed in the commentary booth.

This was the intensity of the playoffs, and the Clippers' defense was not bad, it was really rare for the Pelicans to hit consecutive shots.

The Clippers attacked, Griffin's jump shot from the free-throw line missed.

Obviously, the previous call had affected his mentality.

Evans secured the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, Morrow received a pass from Tang Tian and made the shot despite Redick's help defense!

8 to 2!

The Pelicans were making everything they threw up!

Rivers was a little restless on the sidelines at this time, stood up and walked to the sidelines to signal the Clippers to change their defensive strategy.

With the Pelicans' other points being so accurate, the Clippers' double-teams couldn't be used so casually anymore.

The Clippers attacked, Paul went up himself after a pick-and-roll, and made the basket with a small pushing motion during the confrontation.

"Beep!"

The baseline referee's whistle sounded.

Paul thought it was a 2+1, and showed a fierce look after the goal.

But the referee strode out, and then made a gesture of offensive foul.

The arena erupted in boos.

Paul rushed to the referee even more emotionally.

Not only him, Rivers had come to half court to protest.

They were obviously very dissatisfied with such a standard of judgment.

But no matter how dissatisfied they were, there was nothing they could do, just like Williams in the fourth game, being expelled wouldn't change anything.

And the referees were almost used to the Clippers' complaints, so they didn't really care.

After all, they knew best in their hearts that the Clippers were able to tie the score, and they had helped a lot.

The Clippers' protest was ineffective, and only then did they realize that the judgment tonight would no longer favor them.

Rivers was ordered to return to the bench, he was a little depressed at this time, and even wanted to slap himself in the face.

He said in the post-match press conference that it would be the same even if the standard of judgment was changed, and now it was really as he wished…

The Pelicans' attack, Tang Tian played Barnes one-on-one, he squeezed past and killed to the basket, and after seeing Little Jordan help defend, he passed the ball to Evans.

Evans' shot under the basket also went in!

The Pelicans made all four of their opening shots!

"What did I say? What did I say!"

O'Neal shouted excitedly in the commentary booth.

He didn't really know what the Pelicans would play like, but the Pelicans' start proved that his mindlessness was very reasonable!

Smith was a little depressed at this time, this was really illogical!

And the key was that the standard of judgment had suddenly changed!

The Clippers' attack, Redick's catch-and-shoot three-pointer was interfered with by Davis and also missed.

The Clippers were very unaccustomed to the sudden change in the standard of judgment, and they couldn't find their offensive rhythm all of a sudden.

Turning around, Tang Tian made a three-pointer in front of Barnes!

13 to 2!

The Pelicans established a double-digit lead in three minutes!

The fans on the sidelines were going crazy!

At the critical moment, Paul stepped up for the Clippers, and his signature mid-range jumper finally broke the scoring drought.

The fans in the arena cheered continuously.

But after a while, Holiday received a pass from Davis in the frontcourt and made another three-pointer!

16 to 4!

The Pelicans were 6 for 6 to start the game!

And the score came from 5 players on the team!

Did the whole team turn on the aimbot?!

Paul's three-pointer in the frontcourt missed, and turning around, Morrow's third shot in a single quarter finally missed.

The fans in the arena breathed a sigh of relief.

But immediately, Davis' flying tip-in put the ball in!

The Pelicans' state wasn't just making everything they threw up, but making everything they did!

Rivers took a deep breath on the sidelines to calm his emotions.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Fake, all fake!

They finally chased the total score from 1 to 3 to 3 to 3, how could they be abused in the tiebreaker, at home?

As he was thinking, the Pelicans completed a steal, and Holiday made another fast break layup.

20 to 4!

A bucket of cold water was poured from head to toe, this game was going to be a blowout from the start!

He reached out and called a timeout.

"Wake up! This is a tiebreaker! Look around you, these are all fans who came to support you, this is our home! Wake up!"

Rivers didn't even take the tactical board during the timeout, he just poured chicken soup on his players.

His chicken soup was very powerful, and just taking this series as an example, it was very effective, and helped the Clippers reverse the situation several times.

Back from the timeout, the Clippers played a cooperative play, and Paul passed the ball to Redick on the outside in seconds.

"Bang!"

Redick's shot still missed!

The Pelicans turned on the aimbot as a team tonight, but the Clippers couldn't make anything they threw up!

At the beginning, they couldn't adapt to the suddenly changed standard of judgment, but after they gradually adapted, they couldn't find their touch all of a sudden!

Tang Tian shook off Barnes in the frontcourt, and his breakthrough layup to the inside caused Little Jordan's foul and earned two free throw opportunities.

Rivers called Crawford up.

Crawford broke out in the fifth game to help the Clippers win, and now Rivers can only hope that he continues to go crazy.

The arena was full of boos, but Tang Tian's free throws were very stable.

After both free throws went in, the Pelicans were already leading the Clippers by a full 18 points at 22 to 4.

O'Neal couldn't close his mouth in the commentary booth, he was really a golden mouth, whatever he said came true!
