The NBA regular season continues, the Clippers play at home against the Suns, it is an insignificant game for the Suns, the league's first record has also been obtained, and the best record in team history has also been achieved, so it makes sense that Paul, Booker and Ayton are the three main players. In fact, for the Clippers, who have already qualified for the playoffs, the relationship between winning and losing is not big. In the first quarter of the game, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war, George led the team to open the point difference, Bridges clenched the score, the first quarter ended the Clippers led by 4 points, the second quarter, Powell suddenly broke out, leading the team to play a 21-0 offensive climax, but the Suns the whole team responded, only scored 9 points in a single quarter, the first half of the battle, the Clippers led by 29 points. In the third quarter, the Suns took advantage of the chase and then played an 11-5 score, the point difference opened 30 points, however, the Suns did not give up the game, McGee and Shamet continued to narrow the point difference, after three quarters, the Suns fell behind by 26 points; in the fourth quarter, both sides sent substitutes to train, but the Suns' role team played well, chasing the point difference to single digits, helpless to dig too much in front of the pit, and finally there was no time, and the Clippers narrowly won with a 4-point advantage.
In this game, the Suns did not have three core main players, the offensive responsibility fell on the main rotation players such as Bridges, Payne, Shamet and Johnson, but their feel was disappointing, Bridges only scored 9 points on 3-of-7 shooting, Johnson scored 7 points on 3-of-13 shooting, Shamet scored 8 points on 12-of-3, all three of them scored in double-figures, although Perth scored in double figures, but 12 shots were 5, and the efficiency was not high. Instead, the bench played supernaturally, with Aaron Holliday scoring 16 points, Biyombo 7-of-11 with 14 points and 12 rebounds, Wienlet with 20 points and 8 rebounds on 8-of-15 shooting, Craig scoring 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting, and four players on the bench scoring in double figures, and it's worth mentioning that most of their points were scored during the garbage time of the fourth quarter.
For the Clippers, George scored 19 points on 4-of-11 shooting, and more importantly, added 19 points, and his career total score exceeded the 15,000-point mark, setting a personal milestone record. After the game, George said he was happy to break through the barrier and the next goal was to hit 20,000 points. Zubac was incredibly efficient, scoring 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting and 11 rebounds, while Jackson was mediocre, scoring 10 points on 5-of-11 shooting. The Clippers didn't win, and there was good news after the game, and Powell, who made his comeback in this game, performed very well, shooting 6-of-10 from the field, including 24 points on 3-of-4 three-pointers. At this critical moment, the Clippers also added a key player, which is very advantageous for playing the playoffs. As it stands, the Clippers playoff opponent is most likely the Timberwolves. If they advance to the playoffs, the Clippers can still take Leonard back, and no team in the West will dare to despise them.
