They have won a season-high five straight games, the latest being a 119-98 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. The only bad news was the Clippers announcing that George wasn’t going to play in the second half because of a sore left groin. Then the Clippers had Norman Powell, who started in the second half in place of George, providing 15 points and Terance Mann getting 10 points. The Clippers won this game with a smothering defense. They kept Kings All-Star guard De’Aaron Fox underwraps, holding the NBA’s fifth-leading scorer (30.4 points per game) to just 14 points on five-for-16 shooting.
