The Clippers take on the Wizards
The Los Angeles Clippers suffered a two-game losing streak, but it didn't matter, they still secured eighth place in the West, and that was enough. Kawhi Leonard has trained to shoot, which is the best news for the team. Don't look at Tyronelu now that no one is available, and when Cargoorgios Jr. and Powell come back, it will become a nuisance of happiness. At that point, the Los Angeles Clippers will naturally be among the favorites to win the championship, and I believe no one will doubt this.
This game, the back-to-back game after the Clippers returned to the home court, ushered in the challenge of the Washington Wizards. Two former Lakers veterans, Kuzma and Pop, are now the absolute core of the team. And Porzingis, who came back in the last game, is in very good shape, and this game, they will definitely be able to bring big trouble to the Clippers.
The Clippers refused to reverse
The Wizards' best player in the first quarter was not Kuzma or Porzingis, but starting guard Neto, who had 8 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists on 3-of-4 shooting, leading the Wizards to 29 points in a single quarter. The Clippers, who played at home, also regained their touch and scored 28 points, including 9 points and 4 rebounds for Morris Jr. and 8 points and 4 assists for Reggie. After returning from the second quarter, Morris Jr. continued to exert his strength, and in the single quarter, he had 9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, leading the Clippers to bomb 29 points and successfully complete the rebound.
Kuzma and Porzingis still didn't shine too well, with the Wizards scoring just 26 points in a single quarter, so at the end of the half, the Clippers surpassed the Wizards by two points at 57-55. In the second half, the Wizards came up and played a 14-4 small climax, directly countering the Clippers by 8 points, but Reggie immediately responded with three points to help the team stabilize the situation. Reggie had eight points and two assists in the quarter, Morris Jr. had 5 points, 1 rebound and three assists, and the Clippers withstood the pressure and ended the third quarter with just two points behind the Wizards.
In the final quarter that decided the outcome of the game, the score between the two teams was very sticky, Mann made two free throws to help the Clippers lead by three points, but Kuzma immediately responded with three points, Porzingis also threw a throw, Pop took two more points, and the Wizards' lead came to 5 points. The key moment was still Reggie, breaking through the layup to get two points, Morris Jr. had two free throws, and the point difference returned to 1 point. Pope didn't stick to three-pointers, but Batum hit a three-pointer and the Clippers rebounded by two points, leaving 31.2 seconds left before the Wizards were on time.
After the timeout came back, Porzingis turned around and shot no, Reggie controlled the ball, and the Wizards tried to steal, but failed, and finally had no choice but to foul. Reggie took both free throws, Kuzma still missed three points, the Wizards continued to foul, And Kofi continued to hit two free throws, and finally the Los Angeles Clippers narrowly beat the Washington Wizards 115-109.
Tyronelu won't let you down
This kind of score-stale game, TyroneLu and the Clippers, will never let you down. Without George Jr. card, Tyren lu put Maurice Jr. and Reggie Jr. to an all-star feel. Reggie had 31 points, three rebounds and seven assists on 12-of-21 shooting in the game, Morris Jr. was 27 points, eight rebounds and four assists on 10-of-15 shooting, Kennard on the bench also had 19 points and one assist, and Zubac had 10 points and nine rebounds. Wait until George's little card comes back, the lineup of this Clipper is really an aircraft carrier level!
The Washington Wizards lost the game, and by the last minute, the team was missing a player who could stand up and decide the outcome of the game. Kuzma had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and Pope also had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and the performance of the two Lakers veterans was still commendable. Porzingis also had 19 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists on 8-of-14 shooting, while Yamura on the bench had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and Garford had 14 points and 10 rebounds. The Wizards scored in double figures for six in this game, but when they met Tyronlu, they still lacked a little resilience.
