Covington&apos;s 11 three-pointers were the most threes anyone has ever made in LA Clippers&apos; franchise history. Not only that, but it&apos;s also tied for the most anyone has ever made in a game this season.<br \/>The 43 points Covington scored were his career high, and the 11 three-pointers were his career high in three-point makes. The 153 points the Clippers scored as a team collectively was the most they&apos;ve scored in franchise history during a regular season game. They accomplished this without:&#xA0;Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Norman Powell, Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris, Nicolas Batum, Brandon Boston, Jason Preston, and Jay Scrubb.<br \/>Friday night&apos;s performance was nothing short of a historical offensive performance. Not only was Robert Covington&apos;s shooting something to marvel at, but so was the entire performance of the shorthanded Clippers team. It was a fantastic bounce-back win after the heartbreaking loss against the Chicago Bulls. Up next for the Clippers is the New Orleans Pelicans, where a win against them would essentially secure LA for the 8th seed that they desire.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/clippers\/news\/giannis-antetokounmpo-reacts-to-passing-kareem-on-bucks-scoring-list\">Giannis Antetokounmpo Reacts to Passing Kareem on Bucks Scoring List<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/clippers\/news\/demar-derozan-apologized-missing-game-winning-free-throw\">DeMar DeRozan Apologized For Missing Game-Winning Free Throw Against Clippers<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/clippers\/news\/kevin-durant-gives-injury-update-on-ankle\">Kevin Durant Gives Injury Update on Ankle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/clippers\/news\/robert-covington-makes-history-against-milwaukee-bucks\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert Covington was on some next level shooting.Robert Covington had a shooting night that very few players in the NBA ever experience.
