Last Friday, the LA Clippers met the Cleveland Cavaliers on their home floor, barely escaping with a 110-108 win. Danilo Gallinari and Kevin Love were the highest scorers on their teams, going for 27 points and 22 points, respectively. However, their battle of shooting bigs was overshadowed by a different positional one.
Rookie point guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Collin Sexton met for the first time on an NBA floor, and each put together a performance reflective of their seasons so far.
LA’s Gilgeous-Alexander went for 16 points, five assists, two rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes of action — stuffing the stat sheet in typical fashion.
