George would go on to score his 33 points efficiently as he finished shooting 10-for-17 from the field and a perfect 10-for-10 from the charity stripe. His scoring total goes down in the record books the third-highest in an LA Clippers debut; Kawhi Leonard finished with 30 points in the Clippers opening night win over the Los Angeles Lakers. NBA Full Games Replays Leonard's absence Friday means fans will have to wait a bit longer to see the Clippers newly-formed duo in action but with George seemingly picking up where he left off during his career year last season, these two - and this team - has the potential to be as scary as advertised.

In a starting role, back-to-back Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams finished with 31 points (on 11-for-20 shooting) while Sixth Man of the Year finalist Montrezl Harrell also thrived in a starting role, finishing with 18 points (on 8-for-12 shooting), seven rebounds and six assists. NBA Full Games Replays If there was one negative from George's performance it would be his inability to shake foul trouble, as he was forced to play cautiously late due to picking up five fouls in the game.
