On February 1, Beijing time, in the latest edition of the NBA's official combat strength list, the Los Angeles Clippers rose 4 places, and the team ranked 18th. Meanwhile, officials commented on the Clippers' magical record this season.
"In all the games this season that trailed by at least 24 points, the Clippers have a record of 3 wins and 5 losses, and the other players have a record of only 2 wins and 197 losses," the official wrote.
It is worth mentioning that since this season, the Clippers are undoubtedly a reversal brigade. In the previous two weeks, the Clippers have completed three major reversals of at least 24 points, against the Nuggets (25 points), the 76ers (24 points) and the Wizards (35 points). As a result, the Clippers became the first team in the last 25 years to complete three 24+ reversals in a single season.
What's more, in the previous 35-point reversal of the Wizards by the Clippers, the Clippers are still 7 points behind. According to statistics, in the past 20 seasons, the league has seen a total of 16240 times the same situation, in the last 20 seconds of the game, the team is at least 7 points behind, only the Clippers can complete the big reversal in regular time.
As a result, the Clippers have won tenaciously without Leonard and Paul George with tenacity, and even Tyrone Lue is very proud of his team: "We are missing two cores, but we will never lose."
Currently, the Clippers are seventh in the West with 25 wins and 25 losses.
