In a wire-to-wire win, the Clippers showcase the full extent of their offensive and defensive prowess, against a potential play-in game matchup. Through a multi-faceted contribution by committee, the Clippers beat the Pelicans 119-100.
CJ McCollum led the Pelicans, finishing with 19 points. He was joined by Brandon Ingram, Herb Jones, and Jaxson Hayes as the only Pelicans players scoring 12 or more points. In doing so, however, those three players were held to just 11-for-32 shooting from the field.
Robert Covington, and the Clippers at large, continued their hot shooting from last game. Through the first 18 minutes of the game, Los Angeles shot 10-for-12 from the three-point line.
