The Clippers give up a late game comeback to the Bulls, and fall in overtime, 135-130.
Marcus Morris Sr. and Reggie Jackson both started hot tonight (which were particularly encouraging signs after last game’s more subdued performances). They finished the first quarter with ten, on 4-for-5 shooting from the field, and eight points, on 3-for-4 shooting from the field, respectively.
They were joined by Paul George, whose continued aggression was rewarded with seven first quarter points of his own. The Clippers simply play like a more complete team, with George on the floor. Even when he has substandard shooting nights, his ability to impact the game in a multitude of other facets, his on-court gravity and offensive generation unlocked the Clippers offense.
