The Clippers beat the Orlando Magic, 106-104, on Saturday. And despite the absence of bonafide star and leader Paul George, the Clippers continued to play quality basketball. With this win, they achieve a series of “threes”: 3-0 record in the City Edition jerseys, three wins in a row for the first time since their seven-game win streak in early November, and three games above .500.
A barrage of threes at the start of the second half brought the game to within one after the Clippers entered the period down by seven. That is to say, the first half played out in typical Clippers fashion: a slow first quarter was followed by an explosive second quarter.
