Pelicans vs. Clippers Recap: The good, the bad and the Ball

The Los Angeles Clippers broke their franchise record for three-pointers and blew out the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday, 118-94.

The Ball: Actually giving a damn

Statistically, Ball had a better night than in the opener, shooting 2-of-6 from the field with both of his makes coming beyond the arc. He finished with seven points while adding six rebounds and three assists.

But putting the raw numbers aside, Ball appeared to be one of the few players who actually cared, particularly late in the first half. He wasn’t innocent in the Pelicans’ demise, committing three turnovers on the night, but he never stopped hustling back on defense.

In the end, it had no effect on the final score. But it was one of the few positives on a night the Pelicans will want to quickly forget.
