Los Angeles Clippers: Top 3 individual performances from the 2018-19 NBA season

The Los Angeles Clippers emerged as the best team from Los Angeles in the 2018-19 season despite LeBron James playing for the LA Lakers. The Clippers were one of the pleasantly surprising teams of the season. They massively overachieved by reaching the NBA playoffs and then pushing the Golden State Warriors to 6 games.

The Clippers are a great run organization from top to bottom. They have Jerry West in the front office and one of the best coaches in the modern NBA in Doc Rivers. They play hard on every possession and despite not boasting the superstar power like some of the other teams in the NBA, the Clippers played great competitive basketball from the start.

They even lost Tobias Harris during a trade deadline deal and still kept on winning. Players like Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell, Danilo Gallinari were superb throughout the season. Shai Alexander had a terrific rookie season.

Let's have a look at the three best individual performances from the 2018-19 season:
