Third consecutive victory for the Clippers, who run away with a 30-21 last quarter and try to finally leave behind the streak of five knockouts in a row after the break for the All-Star Game. On the other hand, the Knicks have three consecutive defeats after their streak of nine hits in a row, paying for a bad shooting night (35.6% of the team) with a Julius Randle from 5/24 from the field for 19 final points, surpassed only by 26 with 10 rebounds by Immanuel Quickley.
The rebirth of the Clippers, on the other hand, has the face of Kawhi Leonard, who scores 19 points in the third quarter alone and closes with 38 points, accompanied by Paul George’s 22 with 8 rebounds and 8 assists. This is the seventh consecutive game above 21 for Leonard, who in this period averages 31 points with four excursions above 30. The difference, however, is the defensive intensity of the Clippers, who maintain fifth place in the West .
