Paul George finishes with 28 points as the Clippers overcome a 36-point effort from Nikola Jokic to edge the Denver Nuggets 102-100 without Kawhi Leonard.
It was going to be a tall order for the Clippers to beat the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena, but it grew even more challenging with Kawhi Leonard missing a second straight game because of right knee soreness.
Paul George had 28 points for the Clippers and James Harden had 20, but the Clippers broke their five-game home losing streak because of their defense. Still, things likely would have been a bit easier if Leonard had played — he leads the team in points , steals and averages 6.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said before Thursday's game he was not sure yet when asked if his All-Star would play Friday night against the Utah Jazz.
