After winning four consecutive games, the momentum of the Lone Rangers, with a short break, ushered in the challenge of the old rival Clippers during the three-game losing streak.
In terms of the Lone Rangers, Doncic is in hot form, and whether the team can take advantage of the victory to chase and defend the home to win 5 consecutive wins has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game.
On the Other hand, on the Clippers side, Norman Powell is absent, Terrance Mann is back in the starting lineup, and head coach Tyren Lu is also lining up, ready to save face on the road to complete revenge!
Finally, after 4 quarters of competition, with a wave of 12-4 scoring climax, the anti-guest-dominated Clippers, in the first three quarters, they overpowered the Lone Rangers and occupied the initiative on the court.
Although doncic ushered in an outbreak in the final quarter, led the lone ranger team to chase the points, and successfully narrowed the point difference to single digits, but Doncic missed the opportunity to kill, and the lone ranger also lost the opportunity to kill the game.
The Clippers, who finally withstood the pressure, also narrowly defeated the Lone Rangers 99-97 on the road, which was worth the trip to complete the revenge and end the winning streak of the opponent Lone Rangers!
In this game, the adjustment of head coach Tyren Lu gained the effect, and the Clippers played a five-man double-double, three-man 20+ team performance, and won the victory without any danger.
In the case of Zubac + Kofi and other main players, each performing their duties, the play of the three core Reggie Jackson + Maurice Jr. + Terrance Mann is particularly critical!
In this game, Reggie Jackson swept the slump of the previous game, starting 39 minutes, shooting 2 three-pointers on 10-of-21 shooting, and bombarding the team's high of 24 points, plus 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
Among them, his heroic performance in the final quarter against Doncic's consecutive key shots not only helped the Clippers to hold the victory, but also became a difficult existence for the Lone Rangers!
In addition, as a major trump card in the team's front line, the play of Maurice Jr. in this game also played a crucial role.
Morris Jr. attacked and defended well, shooting 9-of-18 from the field, delivering an outstanding performance of 20 points+ 1 rebound + 2 assists + 1 steal, and his personal performance of scoring 10 points in the first quarter also helped the Clippers open the situation smoothly!
Of course, the Clippers were able to complete their revenge in this game, and the performance of Tigers Terence Mann was also indispensable.
In this game, Terrance Mann was in danger, starting 34 minutes, shooting 60% of the 15 shots, and contributing 21 points, 9 rebounds + 2 assists + 1 steal.
Not only did it make a difference on the offensive end, providing the Clippers with great firepower and vitality, but also on the defensive end, it successfully affected the trend of the game and did not live up to the trust of head coach Terron Lu!
On the other hand, on the side of the Lone Rangers, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the final quarter of this game, and finally lost by 2 points, which obviously needs to be examined.
But rationally speaking, for the Lone Rangers, this battle, the team is not completely without highlights.
After all, in the case of brunson + Bullock and other main players, continuing to perform steadily, the play of Doncic in this game is indeed remarkable!
Doncic continued the fiery feel of the previous game, scoring six three-pointers on 15-of-33 shooting in the opening 38 minutes, a game-high 45 points, plus a double-double of 15 rebounds and eight assists.
Although he failed to help the Lone Rangers guard the home court on his own, there is a saying that the outstanding performance of Doncic in this game in the final quarter of the game to shoot a 23 points suddenly made Tyrone Lu pinch a sweat, it can be said that although the defeat is Stillrong!
Just in the face of the Clippers, which are all soldiers, and the use of soldiers like gods, Tyronelu, who has worked hard for a whole battle, but is difficult to support, seems to have no choice but to drink and hate.
