Darius Garland wasted absolutely no time making his mark in LA.
30 points, 4 assists and 3 threes as the Clippers opened the season with a 121β96 win over Sacramento.
And the 3PS momentum chart shows just how controlled this was: 0 lead changes, only 1 tie, a 10β0 Clippers run, and a lead that eventually reached 28 points.
Garlandβs profile already hinted at exactly what he could bring to this offense β 90th percentile in scoring, 92nd in 3PM, 94th in assists and 91st in AST% among guards last season.
He gave LA shot creation, pull-up shooting and another real organizer in the backcourt, and once the Clippers created separation, Sacramento never got close to flipping the game.
30 in the debut. 25-point win.
Pretty strong first impression.
