LOS ANGELES -- When the LA Clippers moved heaven and earth last summer to acquire a pair of the league's most lethal small forwards, the early glimpses of their ugly 107-104 overtime win over the Boston Celtics were what they imagined.
In the game's opening possession, the Celtics opted to trap Paul George on his pick-and-roll with center Ivica Zubac. And why not, given that George scored an obscene 88 points in 73 minutes in his first three games as a Clipper over the past week.
