The Clippers hold their revenge. The Los Angeles players dominated Toronto on Tuesday (98-84), three days after being beaten by the Canadians, already in Hawaii. Much more serious defensively, the Californians seem to have well digested the departure of Chris Paul with the baton. Blake Griffin is in the rhythm, Milos Teodosic shows flashes of his genius to the pass, DeAndre Jordan always goes up to the ceiling
Everything goes well for the men of Doc Rivers. Even without CP3 left in Houston, Los Angeles remains Lob City, to the delight of island supporters of the day. The two-man formula Beverley - Teodosic holds offensively and a show offered a pretty one. The first brings all his aggressiveness, the second takes care of the spark of construction of the game. The Clippers have relied on their inner striking force to crack Canadians too short in the absence of Kyle Lowry. With 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, Blake Griffin confirmed his state of impeccable form, assisted by his companion Jordan (15 points, 8 rebounds) who was able to revel in caviars launched by his rear base.
Another reason for satisfaction for the Clippers, the bench has responded and luck offer some extra guarantees compared to last season. The gap widened after the second-half period, thanks to Willie Reed (12 points to 100% in 12 minutes), Sam Dekker or Lou Williams. The incumbents took charge of doing the rest and ensuring the victory at the return of the locker rooms.
