On April 13, Beijing time, when the Clippers held up to 10 points, and the Timberwolves interior core Towns only played 24 minutes to graduate 6 fouls, but the Clippers were still tragically defeated by the Timberwolves. Although George contributed 6 three-pointers in this game, cut 34 +7 +5 +3 data, especially in the third quarter, he scored 17 points alone, and once hit a key three-pointer in the last quarter to continue his life, but he was ultimately unable to save the Clippers to join the empty cutting group.
When Leonard still did not return, the Clippers ushered in the return of George and Powell at the end of the regular season, especially George led the team to win 7-6 at the end of the regular season, which naturally made the outside world more optimistic that the Clippers could defeat the Timberwolves to advance.
Just facing the battle with the Timberwolves, due to Downs's poor performance, he did not get 0 of 7 in the first half, relying only on free throws to score 2 points, and the Clippers suppressed the Timberwolves to maintain the lead, and even achieved a 10-point advantage at most, which also made the outside world ignore George's performance in the first half.
In the first two quarters, George only had 2 of 10 shooting stars, only 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but fortunately, Powell and other teammates performed well, making George's performance less important.
By the second half, George finally ushered in an explosive performance in the third quarter, he gave 5 of 8 projections in the third quarter, including 2 of 3 of 3 three points, plus 4 of 5 fouls, allowing George to blast 17 points in the quarter. As a result, George has scored 26 points in the first three quarters of the game, 7-of-18, becoming the Clippers' top offensive scorer.
However, George's offensive power in the final quarter fell sharply, even if he was 2 of 4 in the last quarter and continued to lead the team to chase points, but Wolves double-gun Edwards and Russell successive key points to open the gap. After the Clippers trailed just one point, Wolves double-gun re-led the team to extend the advantage, and George even rushed to hit his fifth three-pointer to chase only three points, and then continued to hit the sixth three-pointer to continue to live. But in the end, George still failed to save the Fate of the Clippers, and needed to continue to compete against the winner between the Pelicans and the Spurs to compete for the No. 8 seed in the West.
