After a big defeat and the end of the road trip, the frustrated Pacers returned home and were challenged by the Back-to-Back Clippers.
In terms of the Pacers, Sabonis Jr. is absent, and leVert single-handedly leads the team, whether it can withstand the pressure to defend the home field, it can be said that it is both an opportunity and a challenge.
On the Other hand, on the Clippers side, Zubac was absent due to injury, Ibaka got the opportunity to enter the starting line, and head coach Tyrenlu was also ready to win by surprise, with two consecutive wins!
Finally, after four quarters of competition, with the excellent performance of LeWell + Justin Holliday, the Pacers, who played at home, overpowered the Clippers in the first half and occupied the initiative on the court.
Although after returning from the second half, Kofi + Reggie Jackson in the third quarter went on to lead the Clippers to a wave of 11-2 counter-attacks, successfully turning the situation on the court.
But in the last minute of the showdown, Isaiah Jackson + Duane Washington ushered in an outbreak, and the Pacers took the opportunity to play a 22-9 offensive frenzy, locking in the victory in one fell swoop.
The Pacers, who finally beat the Clippers 122-116 at home, successfully saved face while also ending Tyrenlu's attempt to reverse!
Playing at home in this game, the Pacers will sweep away the slump of the previous game and play a team performance with 6 people scoring in double figures and all of them.
In the case of levert + Justin Holliday + Stephenson + Taylor and other main players, each performing their duties, the miracle soldier Isaiah Jackson, and the tiger general Duane Washington's play is particularly critical!
In the face of the game, Isaiah Jackson ushered in the outbreak, the first 27 minutes, 19 shots 12 shooting rate of more than 60%, not to mention, but also bombed the team's high of 26 points, plus 10 rebounds, 1 steals and 2 blocks of the all-around performance.
More importantly, throughout the game, Isaiah Jackson personally did not make a mistake, and in the absence of Sabonis Jr., Isaiah Jackson can almost be said to have overturned the entire defense line of the Clippers by himself!
Of course, the Pacers were able to win this game, and the performance of Tigers on the bench by Duane Washington was also indispensable.
Duane Washington fired up all his firepower, playing 23 minutes off the bench, shooting four three-pointers and delivering 16 points, four rebounds, and four assists.
And his heroic performance of scoring 14 points in a single quarter in the final quarter not only became a difficult existence for the Clippers to solve, but also made a great contribution to the Victory of the Pacers!
On the other hand, on the Clippers side, the team had no chance to reverse this game, and finally lost by 6 points, and hated the performance of the away game, which obviously needs to be examined.
But rationally speaking, for the Clippers, this game, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, in the case of Maurice Jr. + Kennard shooting only 5 of 21 shots, the feel is not good, the performance of Kofi in this game is indeed remarkable!
Kofi played well, starting 35 minutes, shooting 5 three-pointers on 9 front and field shots, cutting a game-high 27 points, plus 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
Although he failed to lead the Clippers to win the game, kofi's excellent performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of this game did bring great pressure and trouble to the Pacers!
Just facing the Pacers with many blossoms, as well as the fiery Isaiah Jackson + Duane Washington, kofi, who worked hard for a whole but was alone, and head coach Tyren Lu, seemed to have no choice but to accept the reality of losing!
