Jarrett Allen of the Cavaliers managed to tie the game at 118 with a three-point play, but Paul George’s late jumper secured the victory for the Clippers.

Despite the Cavaliers’ strong performance in the first three quarters, led by Darius Garland’s 28 points, they couldn’t maintain their lead in the face of the Clippers’ relentless comeback. The Clippers achieved their 50th win without Kawhi Leonard, who was sidelined due to a knee injury.
