Their current four-game winning streak and the upbeat chatter and laughter in the locker room can be linked directly to the return of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, but stiff challenges await.
Kawhi Leonard also is back up to speed. He missed a significant chunk of the season because of a knee injury and subsequent injury management but has regained the explosiveness and defensive mindset that made him one of the league’s consummate two-way players.“I think we’re starting to see the light,” George said.
The Clippers’ current four-game winning streak and the upbeat chatter and laughter in the locker room can be linked directly to the return of their two stars.Norman Powell agreed. He said having Leonard and George back enables the team to stick to the game plan that was first drawn up in the preseason.
“Having everybody back, putting in the extra time, working on our rotations and stuff defensively and going through our plays, talking about the rotations we’re making and everybody who steps on the floor is playing basketball the right way. And when you do that, everybody is feeling good, everybody is touching everybody, being effective,” Powell said.
George said the trip certainly will challenge the Clippers, who will face Milwaukee and Giannis Antetokounmpo for the first time this season next Thursday. He said all six opponents are potential playoff teams and the Clippers need to accept the challenge if they hope to maintain this feel-good moment.
