George scores 32 points for Pistons, Clippers win in overtime in a crazy game
Incredible stuff in Detroit as the Clippers cleared a 14-point deficit in the last 3.5 minutes to send the game into overtime and then Paul George got his gun and executed the Pistons with LA taking the win by 142 -131 steel.
With 3.5 minutes remaining in the Pistons’ game against the Clippers, Detroit pulled away 126-112 thanks to a shot and a foul by Isaiah Stewart. Tyronn Lue pulled the starters back and threw in the towel for the game. However, at the end of the game, the Clippers won 131-142 in overtime (!) in a crazy game!
The quintet of Luke Kennard, Terrance Mann, Amir Coffey, Nikola Batum and Moses Brown did what the starters couldn’t and finished regulation time with a split score of 16-2 and sent the game into overtime (128-128). That’s where Paul George intervened, scoring 7 of his team’s 14 points, leading LA to an unlikely – as the game unfolded – victory.
George led with 32 points and 11 assists, with Kennard adding 18 points and John Wall and Norman Powell each adding 16 points and clinching another win without Kawhi Leonard in a night they’ll hardly forget in LA.
In the Pistons who ended up killing themselves, Bojan Bogdanovic had 23 points (though on 7/20 shooting) and Stewart had 21 points.
