Paul George scored 22 points, Nicolas Batum added 21 and the injury-ravaged Los Angeles Clippers had their whole roster available in a 126-105 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.
George, Ivica Zubac, Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell returned to the lineup, with Powell making his first appearance since Nov. 29 after missing 10 games because of a groin injury.
"It was a sigh of relief at the start of shootaround," George said about learning the entire roster would be available."I think everybody was happy to have everybody healthy and we were definitely talking about it in the locker room that we haven't had this since the first game." "It was just good to see everybody back on the floor," Lue said."That's the biggest thing, seeing everybody healthy. Now we have to continue building something. First game under our belt but we have a long way to go. We have to figure out rotations and the minute restrictions and the flow of games."
There was little else to celebrate for Charlotte, which trailed by 20 at 33-13 less than 11 minutes into the game. The Clippers led 37-19 after one quarter and were up 71-40 at halftime.
