MVP: Despite an un-Chris Paul like 6 turnovers, the Clippers’ floor general had an excellent night with a team-high 21 points on 8 of 15 shooting to go with a solid defensive effort that included 4 steals. With each push the Magic made to cut into the Clipper lead, he was there to with timely scoring to stretch the lead back out in a game where his team never trailed.
That was … an uncharacteristic blowout: Great ball control is a commonly seen quality in many Clipper wins, while rebounding falls by the wayside.
