The Clippers already were not the most potent offense, their 109.2 points per game the eighth fewest in the league.

Moreover, the Magic were riding a six-game win streak in which none of their opponents had scored more than 100 points and they were doing all this without their best player, Paolo Banchero, who is out because of an oblique injury.

But the Clippers knew they could hold their own defensively, and with their offense actually humming, they built a 19-point lead in the third quarter and pulled out a 104-93 win at the Intuit Dome.

Norman Powell finishes with 23 points as the Clippers overcome a nail-biting sequence before the final buzzer in a 102-99 win over Golden State.

In Powell’s place, the Clippers started Amir Coffey and his game was on point from the start, as Coffey made his first three three-pointers and his first four shots in the first quarter for 11 points.
