STARTING FIVE
FIRST HALF
Right out of the gate the Clippers demonstrated that they were determined not to repeat Friday’s dismal performance against the San Antonio Spurs. In the first quarter the Clippers shot a red hot 57.1 percent from the field and from three-point land. The quarter was unsurprisingly a fast-paced shoot-out.
Paul George and Kawhi Leonard clearly came to play, combining for 23 points on 10 for 17 shooting in the frame.
