With John Wall and Marcus Morris Sr. joining Paul George with injuries, Terance Mann (31 points) and Kawhi Leonard (30) led the win.
LOS ANGELES — Two nights ago, coach Tyronn Lue said the Clippers were “close” to playing as they were predicted to do before the season began. He said they were “close” to stringing together six or seven victories in a row.Make that a little more work and a little more time.
On top of that, Marcus Morris Sr. missed Sunday’s game because of a knee contusion, but he said he would be back in uniform Tuesday against Philadelphia. The two joined Luke Kennard and George on the bench. Moussa Diabate also was out because of non-COVID illness. “It’s tough for those guys to play different positions in different roles,” Lue said. “But our principals can stay the same, no matter who’s on the floor.”
“That’s got to be our main focus no matter who’s playing,” Lue added. “It’s about the style of basketball we play when guys are out. It’s going to be tough to win games, but we still can have our core principles on both sides of the basketball, and that’s the most important.”
