Clippers first unit comes out like they did at Chicago instead of vs Jazz, clicking offensively. All five starters have a bucket and/or an assist, highlighted by a Morris 4-point play assisted from Batum.
LA up 14-9 with 7:54 left in first quarter. – 9:48 PM

New Orleans calls a timeout after PG’s pocket pass for a Zubac dunk. It’s a 14-9 Clippers lead in a game that could clinch them eighth. Morris has started 2-2 (6 points), Paul George 1-4. New Orleans still having success on the offensive glass. – 9:47 PM
