The LA Clippers shook off their blowout loss against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday to defeat the same Grizzlies squad Friday at FedExForum, 119-99.
In this case, having a back-to-back was a blessing for the Clips, as they got to avenge an ugly outing the night before with a completely different showing.
Ty Lue went with his top starting five of Patrick Beverley, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Nicolas Batum and Serge Ibaka, with only Patrick Patterson (personal reasons) out for the night.
A tight 1st quarter wrapped with Tyus Jones hitting a layup and the extra point after a foul for Memphis, before Lou Williams skated through the Grizzlies’ defense to take the Clippers ahead by two points, 32-30.
