The LA Clippers delivered a commanding performance on Sunday night, March 1, 2026, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans 137-117 at the state-of-the-art Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The victory snapped a three-game losing streak for the Clippers and showcased their depth and offensive firepower in front of an energetic home crowd.
Kawhi Leonard led the charge for the Clippers, finishing with a team-high 23 points, along with 3 rebounds and 5 assists. The two-time Finals MVP controlled the game efficiently, directing the offense and making key plays on both ends of the floor despite a tough night from beyond the arc (1-of-7 from three). His steady leadership helped the Clippers build an early lead and maintain control throughout.
Coming off the bench, Jordan Miller provided a major spark, pouring in 19 points in a strong showing that highlighted the team’s bench strength. Miller’s scoring burst, including efficient shooting and aggressive drives, gave the Clippers a valuable second-unit boost and kept the pressure on the Pelicans throughout the contest.
The Clippers were without their star Gallard (likely a reference to a key injured player in their rotation), but the team adapted well, relying on balanced scoring and solid team play. Other contributors included Derrick Jones Jr. with 17 points, Brook Lopez adding 16, and John Collins chipping in 15, as the Clippers shot efficiently and capitalized on turnovers and transition opportunities.
The Pelicans, meanwhile, played without their superstar Zion Williamson, which hampered their interior presence and scoring punch. Despite flashes of competitiveness—particularly in the second quarter—they struggled to contain the Clippers’ attack and couldn’t mount a serious comeback.
The win moves the Clippers forward in a competitive Western Conference race, proving they can win convincingly even with absences. The Intuit Dome once again provided an electric atmosphere, with the Clippers feeding off the energy to secure a decisive victory.
