In the case of the main forces such as Ayton + Crowder + McGee, the team's core Paul, and the play of Booker + Bridges, who jointly cut 45 + 12, are particularly critical!
Paul was very efficient in this game, starting 34 minutes, and delivered a double-double performance of 17 points, 5 rebounds+ 14 assists and 1 steal on 7-of-14 shooting.
Rationally speaking, in this battle against Reggie Jackson, whether in terms of personal data or team performance, Paul, who has both experience and strength, can be described as a core point guard who has defeated the opponent!

Although he was unable to help the Clippers win the victory on his own, there is one thing to say, the play of Maurice Jr. in this game, and the platoon deployment of Tyrenlu, did cause a lot of trouble and trouble to the Suns!
Just in the face of the disparity in the strength and depth of the lineup, as well as the huge gap in core competitiveness, this campaign has worked hard for a whole game, but it seems that the little Morris, who is difficult to support, seems to have no choice but to drink and hate!
