The LA Clippers looked like they would again be victims of an early tip-off. The team’s offense came out looking great, but the defense did not. The team managed to score 72 points in the first half but gave up 80 to the Pelicans. The third quarter did not fare much better with the team giving up another 30.
Luckily, a great effort in the fourth quarter, especially by Lou Williams, saved the game and the win. The defense finally stepped up and held the Pelicans to just 20 points in the fourth after allowing 30+ in the previous three.
