The Clippers officially fell to 5th, and then collapsed in the final quarter, and were beaten 18-6, with a data of 1-9, which can be called a paper tiger

On March 26, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. In today's focus battle, the Clippers lost 116-133 to the Pacers at home, and their record became 44-27, and the ranking officially fell to 5th place in the West!

The Clippers led the Pacers by five points in the first quarter today, but they lost power from the beginning of the second quarter and lost by eight and five points in two consecutive quarters. After entering the final quarter of the game, the Clippers were beaten by the Pacers with a wave of 18-6, and the deficit instantly came to 20 points, and in the end they were powerless. It's worth mentioning that this is the second consecutive game in a row where the Clippers have collapsed early in the final quarter, and the last game they lost to the 76ers in almost the same way.

Leonard had 26 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists today, George had 26 points, Harden had 11 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Wei Shao had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and Zubac had 9 points and 11 rebounds. But they allowed the Pacers to shoot 58.3 percent on the defensive end today, and the Pacers even made 17 of 27 three-pointers!

After today's loss, the Clippers' record was tied by the Pelicans, and the Clippers officially fell to the 5th place in the West due to the 1-3 downturn in the head-to-head record. It also means that if the Clippers make the playoffs, they won't have home-court advantage in the playoffs.

It has to be said that the Clippers have been in very poor form lately. Since the All-Star break, the Clippers have an 8-10 record and a 1-9 record against teams with a winning percentage of more than 50%. This also makes people wonder, is the Clippers a paper tiger team?

According to the schedule, the Clippers will take on the 76ers on March 28, can the Clippers save the decline?
