Paul George scored 26 of his 33 points in the second half, Kawhi Leonard added 26 points and the Los Angeles Clippers rallied past the Los Angeles Lakers on the NBA champions' ring ceremony night for a 116-109 victory Tuesday.

After blowing a 3-1 playoff series lead to the Denver Nuggets and ruining a much-anticipated conference final showdown with the waiting Lakers in the bubble last season, Leonard said the team is "not thinking about last year."

That collapse led to coach Doc Rivers' departure and Tyronn Lue moved down the bench to take over a star-studded team with several new additions and clocked in a win on his debut.
