Paul George has 25 points and Kawhi Leonard adds 23, but the Clippers’ losing streak reaches three games after they give the ball away 25 times in a 108-101 defeat.
LOS ANGELES — The timetable gets smaller day by day, game by game for the Clippers to figure out what will get them to the playoffs. Coach Tyronn Lue said “probably two or three more games” are needed to see how well the four new players will mesh with the team.
“It’s not fair to our new guys that we don’t try all the different combinations, just to make sure that we’re doing the right thing going into the playoffs,” Lue said. “Because I think all of those guys could help us.” And that was without All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns, who has not played since suffering a calf injury on Nov. 28 against the Washington Wizards. But they still had Jaden McDaniels, who scored 20 points, Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert .Perhaps the team heard Lue’s words. Within minutes, the Clippers trimmed a 13-point deficit to six with 6:31 left in the game. They continued to keep the pressure on the T’Wolves and cut the margin to 105-101 after a 3-pointer by Russell Westbrook with 42.
Paul George was 10 for 21 from the field and 3 for 8 from 3-point range and finished with 25 points. His 3-pointer in the third quarter moved him past Jason Kidd for 14th place on the all-time 3-point field goal list with 1,989 shots.
