"Clippers Dominate Pelicans: George and Leonard Spearhead Victory in Must-Watch Matchup"
The Los Angeles Clippers achieved a significant milestone by having their starting lineup of James Harden, Terance Mann, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Ivica Zubac play the most minutes together since Leonard and George joined the team in 2019. This continuity has coincided with the Clippers' improved performance, as evidenced by their 111-95 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, marking their 14th win in the last 16 games. The Clippers' lineup changes and increased stability have contributed to their success, with the team outscoring opponents by 90 points over 260 minutes with the current starters. Despite the progress, players acknowledge areas for improvement, such as transition defense and execution. The Clippers' recent wins have broken several losing streaks, and the team's ultimate goal remains to make their first NBA Finals appearance.
