Clippers' Nicolas Batum: Pops for season-high 17
Nicolas Batum finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 105-95 victory over the Knicks.Making his second straight start with Norman Powell (hamstring) sidelined, Batum set a new season scoring high as he produced double-digit points for the first time since Feb. 2. The 36-year-old forward's 34 minutes and five made threes were also season highs, and he recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game for the first time in nearly a calendar year. Powell isn't expected back for another week or more. Still, Batum may not be the player who consistently fills that spot and takes on an increased workload, as Bogdan Bogdanovic and Amir Coffey also figure to factor heavily into the wing rotation for the Los Angeles Clippers.
