The NBA regular season continues, the Clippers host the Kings, which is a game without suspense in the team's eyes, before the game, the Clippers have won a play-off place, George returned to lead the team to three consecutive wins, and the Kings have long since missed the playoffs, and it is still 16 consecutive seasons to break the NBA record. Sure enough, in the first quarter, the Clippers took the lead in the state to play a 9-0 start, but the Kings could not find the rhythm of the offense, the score was quickly pulled, the first quarter ended the Clippers led by 15 points; in the second quarter, although the Kings played a 10-4 counterattack under Jackson's leadership, George quickly led the team to stabilize the situation, and the Clippers still led by 14 points at halftime. Easy to fight again, the Clippers took the victory to chase, continue to open the point difference, at the end of the quarter Powell broke out a single person to score 7 points, after three quarters the Clippers with a huge advantage of 21 points into the fourth quarter, the final quarter of the dispute, the Clippers have been in control of the initiative on the court, the King can not play a sustained and effective counterattack, finally, the two sides after four quarters of competition, the Clippers victory over the Kings ushered in 4 consecutive wins.
In the fans' impression, George is not a star who can play the ball, but in this game he has a good connection between the whole team's offense, delivered 12 assists in the whole game, performed very well, and also scored 23 points and 8 rebounds, almost cutting a triple-double. Zubac's performance also improved, with 15 points and 12 rebounds on 7-of-11 shooting. Powell's first comeback ushered in a big explosion, and his performance in this game was equally remarkable, shooting 6 of 11 from the field, including 20 points on 4-of-6 three-pointers, becoming the core of the bench lineup. If this continues, he will undoubtedly become the third big man of the Clippers. Rockets veteran Harden also did well, with 10 points and six rebounds on 3-of-4 shooting.
For the Kings, mitchell was the most outstanding, who scored 22 points on 10-of-18 shooting, but with the exception of him, his teammates were mediocre, with only three scoring in double figures, and the Kings had a long way to go in rebuilding. After a wave of four consecutive wins, the Clippers locked the 8th place in the West, and what is even more gratifying is that this is the 11th consecutive season that the Clippers have reached a 50% win rate, and more importantly, the total shooting rate of 1092 three-pointers this season has set a new record for three-pointers in the history of the team. As it stands, the Clippers are expected to beat the Timberwolves in the playoffs to lock in seventh in the East, which will allow them to play against the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs. One thing to say, the Grizzlies are a young team with a very lack of playoff experience, which will become their deadliest shortcoming, with the Clippers composed of George, Powell, Reggie, Morris Jr. and Covington who can attack and defend, and more importantly, a championship head coach Tyrone lu, it is no exaggeration to say that the Grizzlies' trouble is coming, and they are likely to encounter "Black Seven". Of course, for the Grizzlies, their ideal opponent is the Timberwolves, throwing the hard-to-gnaw Clippers to the Sun.
