Clippers Roll Pacers

Paul George continued to dominate his former team by scoring 36 points on Tuesday night and leading the Los Angeles Clippers to a 126-115 victory at Indiana.

 

The Clippers have won six straight.

 

George also had seven rebounds and eight assists and is 4-0 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse since being traded by the Pacers to Oklahoma City in July 2017. He has topped the 30-point mark in each of the Clippers' last four games, the last two without All-Star teammate Kawhi Leonard, who sat out with a sore right foot.

 

The Clippers have won six straight.

 

Indiana was led by Malcolm Brogdon's 29 points. Caris LeVert scored 26 as the Pacers snapped a three-game losing streak.

 

It sure didn't look as if the game would be lopsided after a topsy-turvy first half, which included a 15-point first quarter from George amid a chorus of boos as the Clippers led 67-65. And Los Angeles still was clinging to a 100-97 cushion after an equally entertaining third quarter.

 

But George made two of the first three baskets in the fourth quarter to spur 8-0 run and Indiana never recovered.

 

Marcus Morris Sr. had 22 points and seven rebounds. Ivica Zubac had 14 points and seven rebounds, while Nicolas Batum scored 14 points and Terance Mann had 12. 

 

Domantis Sabonis had 20 points and 13 rebounds, his 36th double-double this season. T.J. McConnell added 13 points off the bench.

 

The Pacers begin a three-game trip Wednesday at Houston.
