The Clippers defeated the Warriors 102-92, successfully stabilizing the situation and rejecting the Warriors' comeback attempt! The plot of this game was truly unpredictable, making the audience's hearts race, especially with the Clippers' explosive performance in the third quarter, which was breathtaking. If it weren't for the Warriors missing several key opportunities at the end, who knows if the outcome would have been different? The game started with both teams fiercely competing. Zubac's dunk opened the scoring for the Clippers, while the Warriors did not back down, with Davis and Li Keller responding in kind, as the score remained close throughout. However, the Clippers' Dunn, Jones, and Powell suddenly erupted, combining for a 9-0 run that briefly gave them the lead. Despite Kuminga's three-pointer keeping the Warriors in the game, they still trailed 21-19 at the end of the first quarter. Honestly, that 9-0 run caught the Warriors off guard, and if it weren't for Kuminga's timely response from beyond the arc, the game might have been taken away by the Clippers. In the second quarter, the game became even more intense. The Clippers started strong with Dunn's layup, but the Warriors quickly responded with Kuminga's four points to pull ahead. Both teams engaged in an offensive battle, with the Warriors' Li Keller and Hield hitting threes to take the lead again, only for the Clippers' Harden and Coffey to respond with their own threes to regain the advantage. At halftime, the Clippers led 49-43, creating a tense atmosphere where neither team could establish a significant lead. But in the…

The Clippers suffered a crushing defeat in their first game of the new year against the Spurs, with the match from start to finish exuding a sense of fatigue and powerlessness. Despite Harden's initial flashes of brilliance, he was unable to change the team's downward trend, while Spurs rookie Wenyamata completely demonstrated his dominance in the game. The team's recent form does not seem to be in good shape, with consecutive back-to-back schedules depleting the players' energy reserves, which was particularly evident in this game. The players' movements were noticeably slower than usual, and their reactions on defense were not timely enough. The Clippers' offense was completely out of sync, with the players' positioning and passing combinations appearing particularly stiff. Even veterans like Harden found it difficult to drive the team's offensive atmosphere, leaving the entire team trapped in a vicious cycle. Coach Tyronn Lue made constant adjustments to the lineup on the sidelines, but no matter who he brought on, he could not change the team's downward trend. In such a situation, even the coaching staff's tactical arrangements seemed somewhat powerless. The Spurs played with ease, with Wenyamata completely dominating Zubac in the paint, showcasing his superior dominance on both offense and defense. The atmosphere on the Clippers' bench was somber, with the players' expressions filled with fatigue and disappointment. This state indeed requires some serious adjustment. By the third quarter, the game had already lost its suspense, and Tyronn Lue decided to let the starting players rest early. Although this decision was somewhat helpless, it was indeed the…

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has finally lost his patience! He openly declared, "If Leonard continues like this, regardless of whether he's a two-time FMVP or a three-time intergalactic champion, we'll have to terminate his contract!" This is Ballmer, the owner who waves towels and jumps around the court. Even he has become impatient, showing how serious the situation is. Leonard probably didn't expect that his "health-preserving basketball" would affect the boss himself. Ballmer's tough stance is simply to tell Leonard: don't think you can do as you please just because you're a superstar; the Clippers are not your 'health management center.' Now Leonard really needs to weigh his options. Leonard's current situation can be described in one sentence as "unable to play, unable to leave." He was once the most coveted superstar in the league, capable of both offense and defense when healthy. But now? Frequent "mysterious injuries" and inexplicable rest periods have turned him into a tough sell on the trading market: you want him, but fear another "disappearance"; you don't want him, but what if he returns to peak form, and you miss out on a valuable asset? More awkwardly, Leonard's "rest culture" has made other teams wary of him. Who would bet on a player whose availability is uncertain? Especially those teams aiming for the championship, who dare take such a risk? Thus, Leonard has not only lost his market value but is close to becoming a cautionary tale for young players: "Don't follow his example!" Leonard's "invisibility technique" is undoubtedly unique in the league, especially during…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the Clippers played against the Spurs away from home, and the game ended with the Clippers losing 88-122 to the Spurs. In this game, the Clippers were playing back-to-back, so they would have some physical problems. More importantly, none of the Clippers' players could match up against Wenyambo, so in the game, the Clippers could only watch as Wenyambo helped the Spurs take the lead. Moreover, Powell's offensive state was also very poor in the game, which made it even more difficult for the Clippers to catch up. Not to mention that the Clippers failed to control their own turnovers in this game, so when the Spurs scored from multiple points, the Clippers were also beaten down. This game had already lost suspense by the third quarter. In fact, it is not unacceptable for the Clippers to lose this game. After all, it should be understandable that the Clippers' offensive state is low in back-to-back games. Moreover, Powell has been playing quite well in recent games, so it should be understandable that Powell occasionally appears low in the game. After all, even Harden, who is as strong as him, has appeared low several times this season. Not to mention that this game is still back-to-back, and in this game, it is not only Powell who is low, but also Zubac and others who are also low in the game. Therefore, it is normal for Powell to appear low. Finally, in this game, Powell got 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists with 12 shots and…

The Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 113-105 to achieve a 12-game winning streak, making this season an impressive one. Although the Thunder had the best record in the West last season, it was due to a late surge, and there were still many teams that could compete with them for first place. However, this year the Thunder has left their competitors far behind, with a five-game lead over the second-place Grizzlies. The Thunder's goal is no longer just to be the best in the West but to claim the top spot in the league. It must be said that Alexander is now the biggest favorite for this year's MVP. Despite Jokic still leading the race, there is a sense of fatigue among the public, who believe that Alexander is more deserving of the MVP than Jokic. Firstly, the Thunder's record completely outshines the Nuggets', and secondly, Alexander's recent performances have been incredible. This season, he averages 31.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block per game, with a shooting percentage of 53% and a three-point percentage of 35%. In December and on the first day of the new year, Alexander has scored over 40 points three times. These include 45 points against the Pacers, 41 points against the Wizards, and 40 points against the Timberwolves. Alexander's performance has also made the Clippers envious, as they regret their decision. After the game today, two Clippers reporters praised Alexander on social media, with journalist Tomer Azarly saying that with nearly half the season gone, Alexander is the most valuable player…

On January 1, 2025, Beijing time, there were 6 NBA games today, involving the Lakers, Clippers, Suns, Thunder, Grizzlies, Spurs, and Timberwolves. After the games, changes occurred in the Western Conference standings. The Spurs hosted the Clippers at home. On paper, the Clippers had an advantage in terms of record, but they were playing back-to-back games and were not as physically fit as the Spurs. This was the second meeting between the two teams this season. In their first encounter, the Spurs, who once led by 26 points, were reversed by the Clippers. Today, they were eager to wash away this disgrace. After the game started, Wembanyama entered scoring mode, scoring 17 points in the first quarter, leading the Spurs to win the quarter by 14 points. In the second quarter, the Spurs expanded their lead, leading by 20 points at halftime. In the third quarter, the Spurs continued to widen the gap, leading by 28 points after three quarters. In the fourth quarter, the main players of both sides did not play again, and the Spurs eventually won a big victory over the Clippers by 36 points. Wembanyama made 10 of 18 shots for 27 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks, while Harden made 5 of 11 shots for 17 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist. The Clippers have been outstanding in defense this season, and it is not easy to win big against them. Unexpectedly, the Spurs defeated the Clippers by 36 points today, creating a new record for the most points lost by the Clippers…

NBA regular season continues to play, the Clippers lost 86-122 to the Spurs on the road, ending their 3-game winning streak. In this game, the Clippers started off in a terrible state, with their offense repeatedly failing and a very low success rate under the basket. The Spurs took advantage of the Clippers' physical issues from back-to-back games, frequently pushing counterattacks and speeding up. By the end of the first quarter, the Clippers were already trailing by 14 points at 17-31. In the second quarter, although the Clippers' offense improved somewhat, they still couldn't stop the Spurs' momentum, scoring 26-32 in the quarter, and by halftime, the Clippers were down by 20 points. In the second half, the Clippers remained passive on both offense and defense. By the middle of the third quarter, their deficit had exceeded 25 points. In the latter half of the third quarter, Tyronn Lue began to bring in third-string substitutes one after another, and the entire fourth quarter turned into garbage time, with the point difference growing larger and larger, ultimately resulting in a disaster. After the loss, the Clippers' record stands at 19 wins and 14 losses. So where exactly did they lose in this game? Perhaps the data can give us some answers. Harden shot 11 for 5, made 2 out of 6 three-pointers, and 5 out of 6 free throws, scoring 17 points with 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block, and 5 turnovers. Today, Harden's personal offensive performance was actually quite good, especially in the first quarter when the whole…

On December 31, 2024, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 116-113 on the road, extending their winning streak while the Pelicans continued to sink into a nine-game losing streak. This game was undoubtedly an exciting offensive and defensive battle, with the Clippers' defense and key players' performances becoming decisive factors in the final outcome. However, the most shocking aspect of the game was not a single moment of offensive explosion, but rather three "unbelievable facts" that quietly emerged, changing the direction of the entire game. Game Review: Clippers' Hard-Fought Comeback Against the Pelicans The Pelicans' poor performance continued, as they had already suffered nine consecutive losses. The focus of this game was whether they could stop the decline in the absence of their two core players, Zion and Ingram. Despite this, the Pelicans still showed strong offensive firepower, with Murphy and McCollum combining for 67 points, repeatedly pushing the Clippers to the brink. However, the Clippers managed to pull off a comeback in the final moments thanks to the crucial performances of Harden and Powell. The game started with the Pelicans taking the lead with accurate three-point shooting and fast-paced offense, ending the first quarter with a 37-31 advantage. Although the Clippers completed a counterattack in the second quarter led by Powell, the Pelicans remained close in score. In the third quarter, the Pelicans widened the gap again, with the Clippers trailing at one point 77-65. It wasn't until the fourth quarter that the Clippers launched a counterattack under Powell's outstanding performance, ultimately securing the…

In this season's NBA data statistics, you will find that many amazing data have been produced! In this era of small ball with a data explosion, star players can easily create NBA historical records, and teams have also set many historical records! This season, the Celtics set an NBA record, averaging 91.5 shots per game in 32 games played so far, including an astonishing average of 50.7 three-point attempts, accounting for 55.4% of all shots! They are the only team in NBA history to average over 50 three-point attempts per game and the only team with a three-point attempt ratio exceeding 50%! They are a true three-point powerhouse, with their five players on the court shooting crazy threes from the outside against any opponent, a true "five-out" approach! This differs from the Warriors' cut-and-pass system, where their style relies more on positioning and cuts to create open shots! The Celtics, on the other hand, stand behind the three-point line and shoot directly, making it difficult to win if their shooting touch isn't good! The exaggerated stats put up by the players are even more numerous, with typical representatives like Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Wembanyama, Doncic, Trae Young, Towns, and others who have all put up single-game stats not seen before in NBA history this season! And today, we're talking about the main character, Wembanyama! So far this season, Wembanyama has played 27 games for the Spurs, averaging 33.1 minutes per game, scoring 25.5 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, dishing out 3.8 assists, blocking 4 shots, and hitting 3.4 three-pointers per game, with shooting…

The Mavericks lost again, plagued by too many injuries. Today, besides Doncic, Irving and Thompson were also out. The Mavericks ultimately lost 100-110 to the Kings on the road. The Kings have been struggling recently, suffering a six-game losing streak. Facing the Mavericks in this game can be considered as stopping their decline. Currently, the Mavericks' record continues to drop, with a record of 20 wins and 13 losses, ranking fourth in the West. The Clippers, fifth in the West, are very close. They are only 0.5 games apart. If the Clippers win against the Spurs in the next game, they will have a chance to return to the top half of the West. Both the Mavericks and the Rockets have fallen behind recently. The Mavericks due to injuries, while the Rockets lack a core player who can score in critical moments. This is why the Rockets have targeted Fox recently. Let's be honest, Fox is indeed quite strong. He seems to be wasting his talent in the Kings. If Fox and Van Vleet were to swap teams, the Rockets would be invincible. Today, the Kings started poorly, but despite the Mavericks' injury-ridden lineup, Dinwiddie took responsibility, along with Washington's heroic performance, and the Mavericks led the Kings by 14 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the gap in strength between the two sides became obvious. Dinwiddie's shooting went cold, and Washington stopped his offensive momentum. Instead, the Kings gained momentum, with Monk and DeRozan firing on all cylinders, Fox both organizing and attacking, and Sabonis wreaking…
