Clippers vs Thunder Harden Willis went home with 9 consecutive wins over Leonard
One of the NBA's most talked-about games of the season was the Thunder's game against the Clippers, which was also the first game for Harden and Westbrook. The Thunder have played well this season, 17-8, ranked No. 2 in the East, and the new three young Holmgren, Alexander, and Giddey have all shown their strength at this time, and now, the Clippers have ushered in a nine-game winning streak, and Leonard has also ushered in a difficult game.
Both sides have been in good form lately. The Thunder have won six games in December, Alexander has good stats, and Holmgren has also shown his competitive spirit, contributing 15 blocks in his last two games. On the Clippers' side, the four worked well together, with Harden getting the most assists in nine consecutive times, and Leonard also getting 29Six points, plus Powell, Theis and Zubac, the team has nine wins, and they are 17-10 and are in fifth place in the West.
Harden and Westbrook are likely to partner George, but George's injury makes this game look extraordinarily exciting. However, the Clippers are physically exhausted against the Lone Wolves, and they have their own home advantage, with an 8-1 record in the last nine rounds putting some pressure on the Clippers. In this context, some fans put forward an idea, that is, to let Harden and Leonard take a break, let Wei Shao lead the team against the Thunder, so that their main players can recover to their best.
In this game, the Clippers don't have to work hard, they can adjust the team's formation and maintain their advantage. Playing against the Thunder with a full roster and in good shape is a smart move for the Clippers.
