The New Orleans Pelicans opened their West Coast trip with a 114-98 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. Los Angeles won the season series again

Which makes the Clippers — who have outscored opponents by 7.5 points per 100 non-garbage-time possessions with Leonard on the court, according to Cleaning the Glass, a net rating that would trail only Oklahoma City, Cleveland and Boston over the course of the full season — pretty damn interesting coming down the home stretch.
