Serge Ibaka, Kawhi Leonard and now Ivica Zubac. The Clippers are not spared from injuries in these playoffs but, with Paul George in particular, they have heart and talent. The winger (41 points) was superb in Game 5 against the Suns, as well as perfectly supported by DeMarcus Cousins, Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson. Nicolas Batum was also invaluable in a role “à la Iguodala”.
Became the second leading scorer of the team in the absence of Kawhi Leonard, Reggie Jackson scored 23 points (8/14 shoot, 4/7 at 3-pts), including 8 in the last quarter, including two shoots awarded when the Suns returned to the game. Another remarkable performance in these 2021 playoffs for him.
“Reggie has been phenomenal, for us, all season long”, rejoices Tyronn Lue after the meeting. “He loves these moments, to shine at the highest level. He spoke all day, at the shootaround, before the game, after… He gave everyone morale. We are back to the wall, and each time, he has been very good. “
Paul George, to whom he is very close, confirms that Jackson had an important moral impact for Californians around this Game 5. “He’s one of the most positive people”, notes the former Pacers and Thunder. “He takes everything in a relaxed way and it is necessary at these times. “
Services that will pay off this summer
Especially to remain sealed against pressure. His confidence, boosted over the past few weeks, and a sometimes reckless Phoenix defense did the rest.
“There were times when we moved away from him and he put award-winning baskets far away”, regrets Monty Williams. “But you have to be aware that he will take these shots, especially at the end of the game. “
After averaging 24.5 points in the last two games against Utah the previous round, Reggie Jackson continues his momentum with 21.8 points per game in this conference final against Phoenix.
He who was overpaid during his years in Detroit is on the contrary currently underpaid since he only receives $ 2.3 million while his performance in the playoffs is superb. This summer, as he is free, he should find a salary more in line with his level of play.
“He had a very good season”, concludes Tyronn Lue. “I’m happy for him: he finally has his chance. He plays very well in these playoffs and shows the player he is. It’s nice to see that. “
