Tyrese Haliburton scores 18 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter to help the Pacers rally to a victory over the Clippers on Saturday afternoon.
Two days before Christmas, John Wall sat in the corner of the Clippers’ locker room in Philadelphia glued to his phone.began a five-game trip with a bitter loss, the point guard was scanning the rest of the league — until one stat line stopped him.
The defeat closed the trip that saw the Clippers , who have given up the league’s fourth-fewest points per 100 possessions when playing half-court defense, allow at least 113 points in each, a stretch that means “we got to be better, for sure,” Lue said. Two days earlier while leaving Boston, George said he expected to hear boos in Indiana, where he developed from the 10th overall draft pick in 2010 into a four-time All-Star before wanting out in 2017, and getting his wish.
Then it was Leonard’s turn, scoring 17 of his 24 points in the third quarter, to go with three of his seven assists. On his last shot of the quarter, Leonard backed into a three-pointer after seeing not the usual two defenders but a third. After averaging 35 minutes in his last four games, by far his heaviest workload this season, Leonard felt he is “still moving up the right track, feeling healthy still, and that’s what it’s about.
