The Clippers had a different look to start the game with the continued absence of Paul George and the unexpected unavailability of Kawhi Leonard. But the rearranged lineup didn’t affect the team’s overall effectiveness, as they continued their three-game win streak with a 128-111 victory.
In the first three minutes of the game, the Clippers only scored two points. But over the next 22, they dropped 68 to end the first half with 70 total, even without their two superstars. During the first quarter, the team got going by getting to the foul line, earning 15 free throws to compensate for their poor shooting from the field.
