On June 19, as the Los Angeles Clippers conquered the Utah Jazz in Game 6 of the playoffs, Staples Center was on its feet having witnessed one of the greatest nights in the franchise’s history.
It was a watershed moment for several reasons. The playoff atmosphere created by the fans, Paul George leading by example in the absence of Kawhi Leonard, and another big playoff scoring display from Reggie Jackson. However, the story of the night was the performance and statline produced by Terance Mann.
Another coaching feat from Ty Lue had allowed Mann to feast on Rudy Gobert, pouring in 39 points on 7-of-10 shooting from deep.
