Clippers’ late rally falls short in loss to Cavaliers
- On Sunday afternoon, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers with a final score of 127-122.
- The Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard due to right knee injury management, and Amir Coffey left the game in the first half with left knee soreness.
- Norman Powell led the Clippers with 34 points, including 24 in the first half, which was the second-most he has scored in a half in his nine-year NBA career.
- Jarrett Allen scored 25 points, Donovan Mitchell added 24 points and 12 rebounds, achieving his sixth double-double of the season and tying his career-high for double-doubles in a season, while Evan Mobley contributed 22 points and 15 in the third quarter, during which the Cavaliers regained control after a 16-2 run.
- Despite trailing by 18 points early in the fourth quarter and a late 14-5 run that brought them within 125-122 with 19 seconds left, the Clippers ultimately fell short as Darius Garland sank free throws after being fouled by Nicolas Batum, and Donovan Mitchell sealed the win with a steal, pushing the Cavaliers to a 60-15 record and the top spot in the Eastern Conference, 4 1/2 games ahead of Boston, marking their third 60-win season in franchise history and first since 2009-10.
