LOS ANGELES, CA - The Agua Caliente Clippers (7-5) responded to Tuesday's narrow loss by battling back from a double-digit deficit and crushing South Bay Lakers (9-3), 123-106, on Thursday night. Four Agua Caliente players recorded double-doubles in the comeback win.
Moses Wright led the way for the Clippers with a career-high 33 points on 15-for-22 shooting from the field. He added 12 rebounds for the double-double.
George King (14 points, 12 rebounds), Xavier Moon (16 points, 16 assists), and Keaton Wallace (20 points, 12 rebounds) also registered double-doubles for Agua Caliente. Moon's 16 assists is the highest single-game total in Agua Caliente Clipper history and the second-most in the G League this season.
The Lakers were led by Frank Mason III's 21 points off the bench. Cameron Oliver added 21 points of his own to go with six rebounds and four blocks.
After falling behind by as much as 19 in the first half, the Clippers chipped away at the deficit in the third and finished the quarter trailing by only seven. They continued the strong play into the final frame, where they outscored South Bay 38-14 on their way to a victory that looks easier on paper than it was
Next up, Agua Caliente is off to Las Vegas to compete in the G League Winter Showcase, taking place from December 19-22 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. The Clippers will play in two games, for which the date, time, and opponent have yet to be determined.
