Kawhi Leonard scores 19 points, Paul George has a triple-double (17 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists) and the Clippers overcome a sluggish start and woeful shooting to earn a 99-88 victory.
LOS ANGELES — This game was supposed to be a breather between upending the league’s best and seeing Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns., didn’t look much better than the Minnesota Timberwolves, who rest comfortably in the bottom half of the Western Conference standings.
The Clippers – who won their third game in a row – are projected to have one of the toughest schedules in the NBA going forward after having the fourth-easiest schedule for the first 28 games. An easy victory could have given them a bit of calm before squaring off with the Suns on Thursday night. The Clippers could have used an extra pair of hands against the Timberwolves, who refused to back down for the first 24 minutes and held a 43-28 lead at halftime.
It’s something, he said, they worked on at the morning shootaround. Their offense, however, stalled often against the Timberwolves. They missed 13 of their first 15 shots and shot just 38.6% from the field, despite Paul George’s fifth career triple-double.George finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists – the 47th triple-double in franchise history and the first since Leonard posted one on Jan. 24, 2020 against Miami.
