In a stellar display of offensive prowess, Paul George erupted for a season-high 37 points, leading the Los Angeles Clippers (25-13) to a 128-119 triumph over the Memphis Grizzlies (14-24) and extending their winning streak.
Supporting George, Kawhi Leonard contributed 22 points and Amir Coffey added 13 points.
The victory extends the Clippers’ winning streak to eight of their last nine games, propelling them into fourth place in the Western Conference standings.
Despite the Grizzlies’ resilience, led by Jaren Jackson Jr.’s 21 points and Xavier Tillman’s career-high-matching 20 points, the Clippers’ offensive efficiency proved too much to handle.
Desmond Bane, contributing 15 points, left the game in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle, further challenging the injury-riddled Grizzlies.
The Clippers capitalized on Memphis’ injury woes, particularly missing key players like Ja Morant and Marcus Smart.
