Long road back, but Clippers finally lead again. Great quarter by Bledsoe after empty first half.
Clippers up 82-81.
Luke Kennard with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists. Had to play that whole third quarter.
Bledsoe stepped up. Clippers need some Boston buckets now. – 9:43 PM

Tyronn Lue today at shootaround said that Paul George and Nicolas Batum practiced yesterday.
“I think Nico is going to give it a shot tonight. I think Paul is going to be out.”
Both George and Batum are listed as questionable. But they’re on different sides of questionable. – 2:58 PM
