00:00We knew the L.A. Clippers would bounce back from the tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers
00:03on Thursday night, but nobody could have foreseen just how good they'd look against the Pelicans
00:08in their win on Saturday.
00:10Behind the hot shooting of Paul George, Cole Winelander, and several others, the Clippers
00:14rivaled the Pelicans by a final score of 126-103 and set a few records on the way.
00:20The big takeaway obviously was L.A.'s hot shooting.
00:23They were on fire at the point range, 10 of the team's 13 active players have done at
00:27least one bucket from down the arc, with George sinking 8 of his 11 attempts, which
00:31is team high, and all the Clippers shot 25 of 47 from deep, which is a franchise record
00:37for makes a single game.
00:39After the game, Paul George said, quote, at that point, it's just fine on the open man.
00:43When the team gets going like that, you want to show the ball because you want everybody
00:45to be part of that.
00:46I thought it was contagious tonight.
00:48Beyond the shooting, the Clippers played an extremely complete game before garbage time
00:51set in in the fourth quarter.
