Even though he may have just returned from injury, but you couldn’t tell by the way DeMar DeRozan played. He finished with 31 points on 50% shooting, while converting 7 of 9 free throws. DeRozan didn’t miss a beat and his ankle seemed fine after missing 7 of the last games. His back-court mate, Kyle Lowry, added 24 points and 8 assists. Arguably a top 3 back-court in the league (I’m torn between them and Portland), the tandem couldn’t be stopped by the Clippers. This is where the biggest hole is felt from Chris Paul’s absence.
