INGLEWOOD, Calif. — After a 6-21 start to the season, the Clippers are back to .500 at 32-32.
The recent stretch of five wins in six games — including on Monday against the New York Knicks — has brought LA to its first even record since Oct. 28.
Monday’s 126-118 win saw the Clippers’ trio of Kawhi Leonard, Bennedict Mathurin and Darius Garland score 29, 28 and 23 points respectively. Mathurin led the Clippers with 36 minutes despite coming off the bench, and shot an efficient 9-for-20 from the field.
The Clippers shot 46% from 3-point range and forced 20 Knicks turnovers. While Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson combined for 63 points, New York’s bench only scored 14 points between only two players.
