The needle of the “Playoff P” meter has reverted to “not a joke” territory.
Paul George bounced back from a string of three straight putrid performances with a 35-point effort as the Los Angeles Clippers dominated their way to a Game 5 win. The Clippers now hold a 3-2 lead over the Dallas Mavericks in the first round.
With a final score of 154-111, the Clippers set a franchise record for points scored in the playoffs. The 154-point mark was the third most of any team in NBA playoff history.
