Another lights-out shooting night from Davis Bertans was not enough as the Clippers (17-7) topped the Wizards (7-15) 135-119 Sunday night at Capital One Arena. Bertans led Washington with 25 points, shooting 6-12 (.500) from deep, while L.A.’s All-NBA duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George put on a show, combining for 61 points.
“We compete, that's what I love about our guys,” Wizards head coach Scott Brooks said. “I'm not frustrated with our guys, [they] compete. They practice hard, their shoot-arounds are locked in. We need the experience of playing against these good teams.”
Bertans has now scored 20-plus points and hit at least five 3-pointers in four of his last five games and leads the NBA with eight games with five-plus threes off the bench this season.
