Los Angeles Clippers rookie Terance Mann had the best game of his life on Friday, nearly finishing with an impressive triple-double to lead LA to a hard-fought 107-103 overtime victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Reigning Finals MVP and Clippers teammate Kawhi Leonard was in Mann's ear all night long, and towards the end, the LA superstar told his young teammate to go get that triple-double for himself.

Mann spoke to the press after the game, and he had nothing but great things to say about the leadership of Leonard as well as the other vets on the team.

Mann was amazing on Friday, finishing with 25 points on 8-of-12 shooting, 14 rebounds, nine assists, and two steals in 42 minutes of action. He had the hot hand, so head coach Doc Rivers decided to ride him throughout the contest, especially with Leonard, Paul George, Lou Williams, and Marcus Morris all sitting this one out. Montrezl Harrell, Patrick Beverley, and Landry Shamet were likewise still unavailable for the Clippers which opened up a ton of minutes for Mann. Boy did he step up to the plate when called upon.

The 6-foot-5 shooting guard ended up one assist shy from his triple-double, and as he said, it was an awesome experience when Kawhi told him to try and go get it. In the end, he wasn't able to dish out that one dime, but this takes very little away from what was a truly impressive performance from the rookie.

Over the season, Mann has averaged just 8.0 minutes per contest for the Clippers, putting up 1.9 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists.
