After a bitter defeat and a hasty road trip, the greatly frustrated Clippers revived the home game and ushered in the challenge of the Rockets during the six-game losing streak.
In the Clippers, head coach Tyrone Lu lined up, and the team had home advantage in this campaign, and the whole team was ready to defend the home court to save face.
On the other hand, on the Rockets side, Eric Gordon was absent due to injury, and Wood ushered in a comeback, and whether the Rockets can end the losing streak has undoubtedly become a major attraction of this game!
However, after four quarters of playing, with a wave of 10-0 scoring climax, the Clippers, who played at home, completely suppressed the Rockets in the first half and achieved a huge advantage of 12 points.
Coupled with the return of the second half, the Clippers took advantage of the win in the third quarter to chase, playing an offensive frenzy of 16 points in a single quarter, and the point difference once reached 28 points, which also made the final quarter early into garbage time.
In the end, the Clippers also won 142-111 at home to win a 31-point victory, and also gave the opponent Rockets a 7-game losing streak!
Playing at home in this game, the Clippers will sweep away the slump of the previous game loss, playing a team performance of seven people scoring in double figures and three people with 20+.
In the case of Reggie Jackson + Zubac + Kofi + Harden and other main players, each performing their duties, the two core maurice + Terrance Mann, and the play of Kenard, the tiger general on the bench, are particularly critical!
Morris Jr. lived up to expectations in this game, starting 23 minutes, shooting 4 three-pointers on 7-of-13 shooting, and bombing a game-high 27 points, plus 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal all-around performance.
Among them, in the third quarter, his heroic performance of scoring 17 points in a single quarter not only helped the Clippers quickly open up the score gap, but also became an invincible presence for the Rockets!
In addition, this game against the Rockets, the recent good form of Terrance Mann's play, also played a crucial role.
In this campaign, Terrance Mann dared to fight, shooting 8 of 13 from the field, delivering 20 points + 8 rebounds + 1 assist + 1 steal offensive and defensive performance, providing a strong vitality for the Clippers!
Of course, the Clippers were able to beat the Rockets in this game, and the performance of Kennard, the Tiger on the bench, was also a great achievement.
In this game, Kennard was full of firepower, came off the bench for 21 minutes, shot more than 70% of the shots in 8 of 11 shots, and hit 8 three-pointers on the outside line, contributing 25 points + 3 assists + 2 steals.
And his key performance of 19 points in the second quarter, a single quarter, not only provided ample firepower for the Clippers, but also completely disrupted the Rockets' defensive rhythm and deployment!
More importantly, in this battle, Kennard also scored 6 three-point shots at halftime, setting a record for the number of career half-time three-point shots, proving his value and strength!
On the other hand, on the Rockets side, the team's offensive and defensive ends of this game were comprehensively crushed, and finally swallowed 31 points of rout + 7 consecutive losses, which obviously needs to be examined.
After all, under the full performance of Jaylen Green + Tate, scoring 21+2+1 and 19+3+4+1 respectively, the performance of Schroeder, who had high hopes for this game, was indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
In this campaign, Schroeder's magic is no longer there, and he failed to continue the fiery feel of the previous game, starting 28 minutes, only 3 of 11 shots felt cold, and the outside three-point shot was only 1 of 4 shots and completely lost the crosshair.
At the same time, after the whole game, Schroeder personally made as many as 4 mistakes, which can be said to be strictly guarded by the Clippers at both ends of the attack and defense!
In the face of Kennard, who has already thrown crazy, and the Clippers, who are all soldiers, the Rockets generals who have completely collapsed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of this campaign seem to have no choice but to accept the reality of 7 consecutive defeats!
