The Clippers defeated the Blazers with a score of 118-89. The Clippers played very easily throughout the game, maintaining a dominant performance, which allowed them to secure an easy victory. After the game, the Clippers received four pieces of good news.
Little Jones has become increasingly important for the Clippers. He has always been a versatile player on both offense and defense, and since joining the starting lineup, he has had a positive impact on the team. He plays with full effort in every game, recognizing his position on the court, not taking unnecessary shots, and also being able to attack the basket. Such a player can perfectly fit into the team.
Mann's condition has gradually improved since his return from injury. Before the injury, Mann was struggling on both offense and defense. Today, Mann made two smooth moves and a drifting fadeaway jump shot, fully demonstrating his offensive capabilities. He also made a brilliant pass and contributed defensively, showing the form that everyone saw last season. Moreover, his recent passing and three-point shooting have been strong, once again proving himself.
Dunn finally broke out in this game. In previous games, he was consistently missing shots, but today Dunn went 3 for 4, including 1 for 1 from three-point range, scoring 7 points with 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals. There is nothing to worry about on the defensive end as he is at the top level in the league. If he can maintain this level of play on offense, fans will be overjoyed, as this is the role that everyone hopes to see him in.
Little Porter's condition has also been improving recently. Although he encountered an injury today, it is not serious. Looking at his overall performance in the game, Little Porter's ball movement and assists were beneficial to the team, going 3 for 5 and scoring 8 points with 3 rebounds and 3 assists, with a plus-minus of +20. As long as he stays focused and properly organizes the offense, he can be the go-to player off the bench. Let's hope he can maintain this state.
