Bogdan Bogdanovic scored a career-high 22 points and hit a big three to cut the lead to 1 with 5 minutes left in the fourth but the Clippers came out with the victory, 121-115.
Milos Teodosic controlled the game perfectly and dished out 8 assists in the first half. Still, Doc Rivers and the Clippers continue to monitor his minutes.
Thus, Milos ended up playing 25 minutes, finishing with 10 points and 9 assists.
Jonas Valanciunas scored 15 points and added 18 rebounds in an easy win (133-99) over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even though the Raptors were without Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka, Toronto’s frontocourt outworked Cleveland and took care of business.
Jakob Poeltl had 12 points and 12 rebounds including 3 blocks in a win.
Earlier in the day, Daniel Theis led the Celtics over Dario Saric and the 76ers in London.
