The L.A. Clippers trying to fend of the Dub Nation Warriors as well as stay in the top four teams in the West took care of business on Friday Night. Leading 67-51 at the break they ease their way to a 118-105 victory over the new Raptors led by Compton's Own and Dinosaurs All-Star SG DeMar DeRozan.
DeRozan led the Raptors with a robust 36 points as he goes 17 for 19 from the line. He led a Raptors Attack that only had four players in double figures vs the high-flying and high-scoring Lob City Attack that has been doing big things from the ground. Raptors PG Kyle Lowry added 19 points with Big Jonas Valanciunas going 11 points and grabbing thirteen Oranges. The Raptors put the Clips on the line way too much as Lob City had 54 attempts to the Dinosaurs 40 attempts.
The Clips get another Monster Night from Star PF Blake Griffin as he goes 36 points and grab eight Oranges. Jamal Crawford follows that with 21 and six boards and six helpers of his own. DeAndre Jordan gets 18 and grabs thirteen Oranges as he has come 360 degrees from his rookie season. The Clips since CP3 has been out have played like they should always play inside/out using Griffin and Jordan Inside Presence.
A well-played game that only had 21 turnovers as the Clips move to 35-18. The Raptors fall to 26-24...
