The Clippers lost 115-134 to the Thunder in a tight game, ending their nine-game winning streak.
Despite the absence of Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers showed some bright spots and problems in the game.
First of all, it's the performance of the players that gets to be watched. In this game, Harden's form was relatively sluggish, earning a rating of only 8.5, while George played well and received a high score of 9.
Non-sale items also contributed, but only received 1 point. This difference in performance has sparked heated discussions among fans, and has also made people think about how the team can better adjust and play to the strengths of each player without Leonard.
Secondly, the return of Wei Shao in the game became a highlight.
He did well in the game and contributed a lot of points to the team. The return of Wei Shao has undoubtedly increased the team's offensive threat and improved the team's overall strength on the field. This also makes people look forward to the next games, Wei Shao can continue to play well and win more victories for the team.
It's worth mentioning that Harden's form in this game is really worrying.
As the team's leading scorer, Harden's slump has had a direct impact on the team's overall performance. The team will face the Celtics in the next game, and how to adjust and improve Harden's form will be an urgent task for the team. Fans expect Harden to get back to form as soon as possible and bring more wins to the team.
In addition, the Clippers also exposed some fatigue issues during the game.
After nine wins in a row, the team's form may be a little tired, and that was reflected in the game. In the upcoming matches, the team needs to better manage the fitness of the players and ensure that they can maintain a high level of competitive condition in every game.
Overall, the game was a tough challenge for the Clippers, and although the loss was regrettable, it also gave the team a clearer understanding in some aspects.
In Kawhi Leonard's absence, the team needs to play better to their collective strengths, overcome the slump of individual players, and maintain the overall competitive shape of the team. It is expected that in future games, the Clippers will continue to improve and bring more wonderful basketball performances to fans.
