The Spurs led by as much as 10 before Paul George took over the game and led the Clippers to a 113-106 victory. George had 32 points on 11-16 shooting in the win.
Though the Clippers have won four straight, they haven’t been healthy. Kawhi Leonard has played a total of 42 minutes this season after returning from a knee injury that caused him to miss all of last season.
Leonard is believed to have avoided serious reinjury despite having missed the last five games of the year.
The Clippers three consecutive victories include back-to-back wins over the Houston Rockets last week.
