 | Clippers with an important victory for the playoffs against Denver14-08-2020 |
Paul George scored 27 points and Kawai Leonard added 26 for the Los Angeles Clippers` 124-111 victory over Denver, a victory that literally secured the team`s 2nd place in the Western Conference. Denver is in 3rd place, but can be overtaken by the other division leader Oklahoma City. The Clippers will start the playoffs next week against the Dallas team. In today`s match, they pulled with 13 points in the middle of the third part and then had no problems keeping the lead. And George and Leonard`s game was the big reason why it happened. George scored two three-pointers in the middle of the section, and Leonard made several successful crossings in defense, which resulted in good counterattacks for the Clippers. Lou Williams, on the other hand, took off in the final period of the match and became the third player with 20 or more points, finishing with 23.
Jeremy Grant, who missed Denver`s last game due to injury, has now returned with 25 points. Nikola Jokic finished with 17 points and 13 assists, but he was one of many key players who took a break at the end of the match at the discretion of coach Mike Malone.
