A great evening for Yanic Konan Niederhäuser and the Clippers. The rookie from Friborg exceeded 10 points for the first time in the NBA during a match won 131-90 by the Los Angeles franchise against the Sacramento Kings.
Niederhäuser scored 16 points for the Clippers, who thus picked up a 5th consecutive success, their longest winning streak of the season. The 22-year-old interior hit 6 of his 8 shots and 4 of his 6 free throws, missing his only 3-point attempt.
In the absence of the starting pivot Ivica Zubac, Niederhäuser exploded his records for his 16th game in the prestigious North American league, he who had never scored more than 6 points. He spent 25’05 on the floor to grab 6 rebounds, 2 other best marks for him, finishing with a differential of +27.
The Clippers, whose record is now 11 wins for 21 losses, forced the decision in a 2nd quarter won 39-20. Led by Kawhi Leonard (33 points in 33 minutes of play), the LA franchise had a 33-length lead at halftime (73-40). Niederhäuser was his team’s third-leading scorer and co-leading rebounder.
