Bennedict Mathurin provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (3-of-10 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer on Wednesday against the Rockets.
Mathurin was held to just nine points in his debut for the Clippers, and while he still struggled with his shot in this game, he was able to get to the free throw line, which helped him score in double figures. He also finished with exactly three steals for a second straight game, which was never a strong category for him. Managers shouldn’t expect that to continue, but it has been a nice boost during his first two games as a Clipper.
