George scores 34 points and makes six 3-pointers in his first game since Dec. 22 as the Clippers erase a 25-point second-half deficit in a 121-115 win.
LOS ANGELES — Without – and now with! – Paul George, these Clippers are capable of big ol’ comebacks, rallying from precisely 25 points down for the second time this season .
On Tuesday, they erased all of that 25-point buffer by the 3:24 mark of the fourth quarter on Isaiah Hartenstein’s 7-footer that put the Clippers ahead 110-109. The Clippers got a couple of stops and, with 14.9 seconds left, Reggie Jackson – with the crowd chanting his name, as has become tradition – stepped to the free-throw line and knocked down both foul shots to extend the lead to 119-115 and send peanut butter and jelly snacks flying throughout the arena in accordance with the Clippers’ promotion on his behalf.
For Ivica Zubac, it’s the variety: “Just his talent. He’s one of the most talented players ever. His talent for the game of basketball, it’s insane. Like, there’s nothing he can’t do out there.” But what the Clippers’ coach digs most about the seven-time All-Star, he said, was George making himself available.
