Remaining on the bench Thursday during the Los Angeles derby won against the Lakers, Yanic Konan Niederhäuser was this time aligned. The Friborg “rookie”, however, was only allowed seven minutes of play, scoring 4 points and 2 rebounds, in a match where the Clippers quickly made the difference.
Led by Kawhi Leonard (28 points, including 21 in the first half), the Californian franchise took up to 38 points in the second quarter (64-26) before rolling away. It still has less than 50% victories (21 successes, for 24 defeats), but has won 15 of its last 18 games.
