Clippers Get Past Hawks, 120-113
The Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 120-113, at State Farm Arena on Saturday night.

The Hawks (25-25) came into the contest with a 6-2 record over the last eight games, and they opened Saturday's game looking like they were on solid ground to keep the good times rolling. Atlanta owned a 28-22 lead through one, but the Clippers (28-24) roared back in the second to eliminate their deficit altogether and take a five-point advantage into halftime. The hosts managed to shrink that edge to three points during the third, but Los Angeles' 12-3 run over the first 2:47 of the final period set the stage for the road victory.

Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 32 points, adding eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Paul George delivered 23 points, seven boards, six assists and one steal. Ivica Zubac furnished 18 points, six boards, three assists, two blocks and one steal. Reggie Jackson supplied 16 points, three assists and one steal. Luke Kennard registered 11 points, three rebounds and one steal. Norman Powell produced 10 points, four rebounds and two assists.

Trae Young paced the Hawks with 31 points, complementing them with 10 assists, five rebounds and one steal. John Collins managed 16 points, five rebounds and one steal. Dejounte Murray compiled 15 points, eight assists, six rebounds, two steals and one block. De'Andre Hunter contributed 14 points, seven boards, one assist and two steals. Clint Capela generated a 12-point, 13-rebound double-double that included two assists, two steals and one block.

The Clippers remain on the road and visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night, while the Hawks hit the road and tangle with the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night.
