Lost amid the Clippers’ 129-126 victory Monday in New Orleans was the milestone passed by Danilo Gallinari.
It marked the 22nd game the forward has played this season, one more than he played with the Clippers all of last season, his first with the team, while beset by various strains and contusions to his hand and glute.
It wasn’t only that Gallinari played Monday but that he was again one of the best players on the floor.
He’s never scored more points (423) or been more accurate from three-point range (46.2%) through the first 22 games in any season of his career.
