Paul George Scores 34 to Spark Clippers’ 25-Point Comeback Against Jazz (121-115)

Welcome back, Paul George! The Clippers got back one of their injured stars on Tuesday, and he made an immediate impact. George (34 points) went 6-for-9 from 3-point range to spark a 25-point comeback against the Jazz (121-115). It was George’s first action since December after dealing with a right elbow injury. Los Angeles is still without Kawhi Leonard in what’s been a tumultuous season for their sidelined stars. Even so, they remain firmly in the NBA’s Western Conference play-in.
