The shorthanded Clippers silenced the slumping Spurs, 85-98, sweeping their two-game mini-series with San Antonio and handing them a season-high fourth consecutive loss.
Reggie Jackson led Los Angeles with a career-high 28 points, closely followed by 24 points and 13 rebounds from Paul George. DeMar DeRozan paced the Silver and Black with 23 points and four boards.
Observations
- DeMar DeRozan only needed four points to overtake Hall of Famer Grant Hill for 96th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, and he doubled that total in the first quarter alone. The twelfth-year pro is also on pace to pass Chris Webber, Kevin McHale, Steve Nash, Earl Monroe, Jason Kidd, and Magic Johnson on the all-time scoring list by the end of the season.
