The Clippers lost 100-121 to the Timberwolves. The Clippers played really badly in this game as a whole, the offensive end was tightly guarded, the defensive end could not hinder the Timberwolves, and the interior line could not play aggressively, which hindered the team's offensive and defensive play.
And the whole game is Leonard's one is a good performance. He had 18 points and 4 rebounds on 8-of-17 shooting, and his overall shooting percentage was still okay. However, in the second half, when he was on the pitch with the substitutes, especially with Wei Shao, the overall aggression was too poor, which had a great impact on the situation. Even the last quarter was not played, and there was no suspense in the game during that time.
However, Harden, Zubac and Coffey are still passing. Harden had 17 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on 5-of-13 shooting, and he still needs to stabilize the team's rhythm on the offensive end. Even if the deterrent effect of the breakthrough is not good, the three-point shooting rate is okay, and the pressure on the defensive end is not bad, and he has given some help. Then there's Coffey, who has been very consistent during this time, scoring 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting and not making many mistakes. Zubac is currently the only interior player that the Clippers can carry, and as long as he goes down, the team's interior line will collapse. With the data of 6+11 in the whole game, the frame protection is still okay, but it only played for 22 minutes.
George, Mann, Westbrook, Powell, Plumlee and Theis are all signs of a collapse. George, in particular, shot 5-of-16 from the field, which was eye-catching enough. Now George is that unpredictable level, and it's really too unstable. As long as he is consistent on the offensive end, then the Clippers will be very dominant overall. If he is in a slump, it will have a very big impact on the team.
Wei Shao is still a big problem. With 11 points on 3-of-11 shooting and a plus/minus of -21, his play was taken away by his opponent in the second half. It's really up, the offensive end hits the iron, and doesn't pass the ball to teammates, the overall performance is too spicy. Powell was also inaccurate today, scoring only 6 points on 2-of-7 shooting from the field, with a plus/minus of -22, the worst on the team. Mann also had a confused play in the third quarter, and he was 1-of-3 on the offensive end. Plumlee and Theis were completely criminal on the court, unable to help both offense and defense, leading the interior collapse.
