Pelicans’ Ian Clark comes up big against former team in Game 3

NEW ORLEANS — In 2015, shortly after Ian Clark earned the Warriors' final roster spot, head coach Steve Kerr stressed to him the importance of staying ready. It was a role Clark embraced: As a reserve shooting guard for Golden State last season, he helped pace the second unit with 6.8 points per game on 48.7 percent shooting (37.4 percent from beyond the arc). Now, after failing to land any multi-year offers last summer, Clark is filling a similar role for the Pelicans. In New Orleans' 119-100 win over the Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals, Clark showed his former team what it is missing.
