Transcript

00:00 We knew the LA Clippers would bounce back from the tough loss against the Los Angeles

00:03 Lakers on Thursday night, but nobody could have foreseen just how good they'd look

00:07 against the Pelicans in their win on Saturday.

00:10 Behind the hot shooting of Paul George, Kawaun Leonard, and several others, the Clippers

00:14 rivaled the Pelicans by a final score of 126-103 and set a few records on the way.

00:20 The big takeaway was LA's hot shooting.

00:23 They were on fire at the point range.

00:25 10 of the team's 13 active players have done at least one bucket from down the arc,

00:29 with George sinking 8 of his 11 attempts, which is team high.

00:33 And all the Clippers shot 25 of 47 from deep, which is a franchise record for makes in a

00:38 single game.

00:39 After the game, Paul George said, "At that point, it's just fine on the open man.

00:43 When the team gets going like that, you want to show the ball because you want everybody

00:45 to be a part of that.

00:46 I thought it was contagious tonight."

00:48 Beyond the shooting, the Clippers played an extremely complete game before garbage time

00:51 set in in the fourth quarter.

00:53 LA led by as many as 42 points on the night and surpassed the century mark with 3 minutes

00:57 left in the third quarter.

00:59 Moreover, the Pelicans' start was limited to just 44 points, with Brendan Ingram scoring

01:03 the bulk of them with 14.

01:05 Rookie phenom Zion Williamson lodged 7 points and 5 rebounds in 14 minutes of action and

01:09 was defended by Kawaun Leonard on multiple possessions.

01:12 With the win, the Clippers moved to 45-21 on the year and 1-1 in the bubble.

01:17 The team will get Sunday and Monday off before taking on the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, August

01:21 4th at 4 p.m. Eastern Time. That game will be shown on NBA TV.
