Kawhi Leonard sat on the Clippers bench on Sunday once again dressed in a suit, right next to Paul George, who was next to James Harden. The three stars of the team who did not play in the last game of the regular season before the team begins the playoffs. The Rockets took advantage of this to end the 2023-24 season at a tie between wins and losses. Terance Mann is the only regular starter in the lineup, and he was joined by Xavier Moon, Mason Plumlee, PJ Tucker and Amir Coffey and the first half flows well (51-48). Houston, with Amen Thompson who recorded his first career triple double with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists and Cam Whitmore, played a better second half to take home the victory.
LA Clippers – Houston 105-116. Boxscore: 24 Mann, 18 Coffey, 16p+11r Theis, 15 Boston Jr., 14 Moon for the Clippers (51-31); 21 Whitmore, 15 Smith Jr., 13 Ja. Green, Marjanovic and Williams for the Rockets (41-41). Russell Westbrook and Bones Hyland also remained rested for the Clippers, who will meet the Mavericks in the playoffs, with whom they are 2-1 in the season but against whom they have never played in the current lineup with Washington and Gafford.
