‘Things do feel different.’ Paul George powers revived Clippers to another win

LA Times  

Clippers guard Paul George, right, makes a windmill dunk during the first half of a 138-100 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena. But Thursday brought or continued developments they gladly welcomed: another more focused defensive effort, the season’s first four-game winning streak — not a coincidence it also marked the first stretch of four straight games with both Leonard and George available — and the return of guard Luke Kennard after being sidelined by nine games with a calf injury. He’d last played Jan. 6, and as the Clippers shook up which guards played and how often during his nine-game absence, Lue said the “plan” he had in mind for his preferred rotation wouldn’t be able to be put in place until Kennard returned. Even with the new wrinkle of Kennard’s start, Lue, midway through the first quarter, used what has recently become a familiar lineup featuring Powell as the lead guard surrounded by four wings, without a center.
