Two days after a short-handed loss to their rival Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers flexed their muscle as a true contender for the 2020 NBA playoffs.
The Clippers stomped the Pelicans in a 126-103 win during their second game of the Disney World restart, and posted a franchise record in 3-pointers along the way. The Pelicans looked overwhelmed from tip-off, falling behind 12-2 before their first timeout and finding themselves down 77-45 at halftime.
A franchise-record 16 first-half 3-pointers did most of the early damage for Los Angeles, which came one short of the NBA record for a half.
