Clippers prevent Pelicans from clinching NBA play-in spot
LOS ANGELES – Talk about meaningful NBA minutes.
For visiting New Orleans? Securing a place in the play-in, a relatively remarkable feat for coach Willie Green’s squad, which started the season losing 11 of its first 12 games.The Clippers rolled over New Orleans, 119-100, showing out before a crowd of 16,840 on Sunday at Crypto.com Arena. They won in a rout for the second time in as many games and beat the Pelicans for the first time in four meetings this season.
Tyronn Lue’s squad separated itself from its guests with a 29-13 second quarter and went into halftime ahead 66-44. After that, they never looked back, building leads as large as 26 to park themselves in eighth place in the Western Conference with three regular-season games remaining, against Phoenix, Sacramento and Oklahoma City.
“It’ll be great for Norm if he could get back out there in the next game or two, just to get a good feel back,” Marcus Morris Sr. said, noting that the Clippers otherwise have enough familiarity with one another to incorporate a new guy without much issue. Offensively, the Clippers were clicking collectively, shooting 47.4% from the field and 47.7% from 3-point range — making 21 of their 44 attempts
