On January 27, Beijing time, the Clippers defeated the Magic 111:102 in the NBA regular season, thus achieving a back-to-back regular season two-game winning streak. It is worth mentioning that the Clippers won the game again, although they were once behind the Magic by as many as 14 points, but in the end the Clippers still relied on resilience to achieve a reversal. According to NBA regular season statistics, the Clippers have become the king of reversals in the league this season, and so far this season, the Clippers have completed double-digit scoring reversal wins in the regular season nine times.
One thing to say, this season the Clippers can be described as one of the most injured teams in the league, first of all, the team leader Leonard was reimbursed for the injury season, and it is impossible to see Leonard appear in the regular season this season. The team's other giant star, Paul George, suffered a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his right elbow and is also in a state of recuperation. According to the latest news report from NBA celebrity Brian Windhorst, Paul George is currently considering surgery, and once Paul George finally chooses surgery, it will be difficult for Paul George to return to the NBA stadium this season.
However, even if the team's two main superstars are out of the regular season at the same time, the Clippers still hold the NBA regular season record ranking in the top 8 in the West, so far the Clippers' regular season record is 25 wins and 25 losses, and the team ranks 8th in the Western Division with a 50% regular season win rate. To be honest, such a record ranking is obviously quite incredible, to know that according to the current NBA League regular season rankings, the Lakers in the same city will also be ranked behind the Clippers, and the Lakers have James, Thick Brow, and Westbrook three active top stars.
If Leonard and Paul George hadn't been in trouble with injuries, then based on the overall strength of the Clippers and the tactical ability of head coach Terren lu, the Clippers really have the potential to storm the NBA championship this season. After all, the Lakers, who were originally thought to be the favorite to win the Western Division, are now obviously disappointing to fans, so if the Clippers are full of personnel, perhaps they will be the team most likely to break out of the West. Of course, now we can only look forward to the return of Leonard and Paul George next season, and see what kind of strength this Western team can play next season!
