Clippers down Pelicans 119-100, prevents regular season sweep

Big Q & DC recap the news topics listed below on today's stream. The Pelicans match against the Los Angeles Clippers in L.A. Then the Pels/Kings match up preview.

(Summary) (AP) Marcus Morris Sr. scored 22 points, Ivica Zubac got his 22nd double-double of the season with 16 points and 14 rebounds, and the Los Angeles Clippers prevented the New Orleans Pelicans from clinching a spot in the play-in tournament with a 119-100 victory Sunday night.

While the Pelicans are still fighting for their play-in spot, the Clippers (39-40) wrapped up the eighth seed with the win.

''I thought we addressed what we needed to. We took care of business,'' said Paul George, who had 15 points, seven assists and five rebounds in his third game back for the Clippers. ''I challenged the team first game back to shape into more of a playoff team. Overall, we're starting to.''

Morris made four 3-pointers for the Clippers, who were 21 of 44 from beyond the arc. It is the first time in franchise history they have made at least 20 in back-to-back games. Los Angeles made 23 3s and set a franchise record for points in a 153-119 victory over Milwaukee on Friday night.

Eight players made a 3-pointer for the Clippers. George led the way with five while Luke Kennard Jr. also had four.

The Clippers, winners of three of their last four games, made all eight of their shots from the perimeter in the first quarter. According to Sportradar, it is the first time since at least 1996 Los Angeles has had a perfect quarter with seven or more attempts.

''When we're touching the paint and guys are attacking the basket, we're going to get open 3s and shots if guys make the right play. We did that all night long,'' coach Tyronn Lue said.

CJ McCollum had 19 points and Brandon Ingram added 15 for the Pelicans, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. New Orleans could have wrapped up a play-in tournament berth with a win after Denver defeated the Los Angeles Lakers earlier in the day.

The Pelicans, who began the season 3-16, can secure a play-in spot with a win over Sacramento on Tuesday.
