“But always had it in the back of my mind that I can be this. When I was in Toronto, that I could be Kyle (Lowry) or DeMar (DeRozan); when I was in Portland I could be CJ McCollum or be Dame (Lillard), when I was here, I could be Kawhi, PG (George) or James. “I always had that in my mind every single summer, that’s what I was fighting and clawing for, but now it’s here, and I’m just trusting the work… We’ve talked about it, we’ve drilled it, so now it’s just letting it unfold.”

Norman Powell and James Harden split their 6 free throw attempts, giving the Raptors one more shot at surviving the Cretaceous Period
LAC leads 105-102 with 8.7 seconds left. They were in a similar situation in Denver.
They are supposed to foul. Let’s see how this goes. – 1:03 AM

Norman Powell tried to hammer pass and it got intercepted by Quickley, who called a timeout to save possession.
That leaves Raptors with only one left for last 3:50, but more importantly, that’s another scoreless possession for Clippers, who are clinging to a 93-91 lead. – 12:50 AM

Darko Rajaković really must have needed this timeout, because Norman Powell was slow to get up following his fast break bucket following a James Harden steal. Canceled a potential 5-on-4.
LAC leads 58-50 with 10:01 left in 3rd quarter; that’s it for the mandatory timeouts in 3Q. – 12:01 AM

There’s only been one 30-year-old to win the league’s Most Improved Player award, but Norman Powell’s performance early this season should have him squarely in that conversation.

May I say: Clipper guard Norman Powell is a Star. He can really score the ball. And credit coach Jeff Van Gundy for making this a really good defensive team. Nice Win in Sacramento tonight. – 12:32 AM

From this morning @TheAthletic
I checked in with Paul George after he spoke following Wednesday’s game. Norman Powell was the only player on either team to break 20 points.
PG: “Norm is balling right now.”

Not everyone understands the grind, so when Paul George left the LA Clippers, people assumed the team needed to bring in another scorer
But Norman Powell has started this season in the PG role, and he is excelling like he knew he would.

More on this storyline
Law Murray: Norman Powell (post cold tub) discussed his mental preparation and maintenance after Saturday night’s game vs Raptors. Admitted what Tyronn Lue mentioned and what we all expected, that Powell was fatigued after Friday night at Sacramento. But Powell came through all the same. pic.x.com/c65k8UT2GT -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / November 10, 2024
Prior to Saturday night, Powell was averaging 25.7 points a game while connecting on 51.6 per cent of his field goal attempts and 48.4 per cent from three on 8.6 attempts per game, making him one of the most prolific and efficient shooters in the sport, a nice combination. “I mean, everything that we’ve done for the last 10 years with AJ Diggs, my trainer, has been preparing me for this moment,” Powell said to me. “You know, every summer going into the season, it was all about preparing to be a starter. You don’t always get that opportunity, and whatever role you got you just want to win, at the end of the day. -via SportsNet / November 10, 2024
“I’ve always envisioned myself being in this position and wanting the opportunity,” Powell said Wednesday night. “Learning from when I was in Toronto with Kyle and DeMar (DeRozan), learning from Dame (Lillard) and CJ (McCollum), learning from PG and Kawhi. Being around those top guys and just getting game and knowledge from them in the summer. Going up against them, battling, and just wanting that.” -via New York Times / November 8, 2024
