RecapKobe Sanders produced 26 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one block and five three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Raptors.
The Clippers didn’t have Derrick Jones Jr. or Rui Hachimura for Monday’s game, so Sanders made his second start of the season. The second-year wing had the best night of his NBA career, dropping a career-high 26 points. Sanders scored 13 points in both halves, but he may have run out of steam late. Shooting 1-of-5 from the field, Sanders scored five points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers shot 30.4 percent as a team. That’s how a team goes from leading by 13 to losing by seven.
