Mamukelashvili loses to Leonard, as Toronto drops into sixth

Sandro Mamukelashvili was active from the bench for Toronto Raptors, but the team did not have enough firepower to stop Clippers, as LA based team won the game 119:94.

Sandro played a modest 15 minutes and scored 13 points as he added 7 rebounds and as he had only 1 turnover. Sandro played well, was active and did not hesitate while attacking at will.

As for the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard was again the beast, as he scored 27 points and was the main assassin for his respective team. Darius Garland helped  Kawhi a lot, as he added 24 points and Benedict Mathurin scored 23. And, of course need to mention the veteran Brook Lopez, who had 11 of his 14 points in the first quarter alone.

The Clippers are on a roll and winners of three in a row. They stay a half-game ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers for eighth in the Western Conference.

The only one, who was more or less good for the Raptors, was Brandon Ingram, as he scored 18 points. As for now, the Raptors dropped to sixth place in the Eastern Conference, one game behind the Atlanta Hawks. The race is on.

Sandro scored wo consecutive three-pointers late in the third quarter, but the Raptors did have enough fuel in the tank. These Clippers dominated.

Toronto will host the Pelicans on Friday night.
