Clippers rout Pelicans with a lineup that is paying big dividends

LA Times  

Clippers forward Paul George grabs a rebound in front of New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado in the first half of the Clippers’ win Friday night. Five minutes into the first quarter of Friday’s 111-95 victory, the Clippers’ starting lineup of point guard James Harden, wings Terance Mann, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and center Ivica Zubac played their 265th minute of the season — the most any Clippers lineup has spent together since Leonard and George arrived in 2019. Yet reaching that many repetitions with 48 games still to play in the regular season marks a level of stability the Clippers have never enjoyed in Leonard and George’s previous four seasons. 2019-20: 215 minutes of Patrick Beverley-George-Leonard-Mo Harkless-Ivica Zubac over 18 games minutes of Patrick Beverley-George-Leonard-Mo Harkless-Ivica Zubac over 18 games 2020-21: 264 minutes of Beverley-George-Leonard-Nicolas Batum-Serge Ibaka over 19 games minutes of Beverley-George-Leonard-Nicolas Batum-Serge Ibaka over 19 games 2021-22: 221 minutes Reggie Jackson-Amir Coffey-Batum-Marcus Morris-Zubac 221 in 18 games minutes Reggie Jackson-Amir Coffey-Batum-Marcus Morris-Zubac 221 in 18 games 2022-23: 164 minutes of Jackson-George-Leonard-Morris-Zubac in 13 games minutes of Jackson-George-Leonard-Morris-Zubac in 13 games Six weeks after the change of starting lineup Nov. 17 that inserted Mann in place of Russell Westbrook and saw the team’s six-game losing streak end, the Clippers’ new starters had played 260 minutes together entering Friday, outscoring opponents by 90 points.
