On January 27, Beijing time, the Clippers rushed to the away game to compete with the Magic. The Clippers beat the Wizards by 35 points yesterday and are currently scrappy. The Magic team ranked first from the bottom of the league. The two teams staged a wonderful duel in this battle. In this campaign, Clippers stars Xiao Ka and Paul George continued to miss due to injury.

Since then, the two teams have fought on the field. Cole Antoni and Sargas led the Magic to continue the fiery feel. Mann and Bledsoe gradually exerted their strength on the offensive end, helping the Clippers to tighten the score. After the third quarter, the Clippers trailed by two points.
In the final quarter, the Clippers went on an 11-3 offensive run to overtake their opponents by six points. The Magic were in a scoring squander, and the Clippers were gradually taking the initiative in the game. The Magic failed to complete a last-minute comeback, and the Clippers relied on five players to score in double figures to win 111-102 and win two straight. The Clippers have completed a comeback in two consecutive games.
The Clippers reversed and defeated the Magic
In this battle, the Clippers' Tough General Luke Kennard continued the fiery feel. Kennard, who hit the deadlock in the last 35-point reverse Wizards game, continued to play the role of a point-cutting maniac in that game. Kennard played 32 minutes, shooting 6-of-9, 2-of-3 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free throw line, with 17 points, 5 boards and 1 assist. Kennard didn't make a few shots in this campaign, but it was extremely efficient.
In this campaign, Kennard's shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate were as high as 67%. Kennard, who exploded the team's second-highest score, was the Clippers' vanguard in chasing points. Kennard's plus-minus is the highest +23 in the game. Kennard's excellent performance is the key to the Clippers' ability to reverse the victory.

In the case of Xiao Ka and George being absent due to injury, the Clippers' strength was greatly damaged. Even so, the Clippers still staged a big reversal in two consecutive games. I have to say that the Clippers head coach Tyrone Lu's coaching ability and on-the-spot adaptability are indeed superb.
