Norman Powell scored 24 points, Paul George added 20, but Kyrie Irving and Dallas Mavericks held off the Clippers 110-104 on Wednesday,
Clippers coach Tyronn Lue will replace Phoenix’s Monty Williams on the USA Basketball men’s national team coaching staff for World Cup and next year’s Paris Olympics.
The lead would grow to 19. When Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy drove with nine minutes to play in the second quarter, there wasn’t a single Clippers defender that stepped in his way to stop his path to the rim, which he finished with a dunk for a 46-27 lead. In the fourth quarter, coach Tyronn Lue took out Reggie Jackson — the player who has remained in the rotation because he fits what Lue has called the “traditional point guard” archetype — after Jackson couldn’t complete an entry pass to Leonard as he stood at the elbow, leading to one of the Clippers’ 11 turnovers. George, still pressed into more duty as a ballhandler, was responsible for four.
