Our topic today is big news in the basketball world!On the 22nd, the Clippers suffered a complete rout in the game against the Thunder. The five main players combined for 85 points and 34 rebounds, which sounds good, right?But this still can't stop Alexander's personal performance of 31 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, and a new record has been born!As a result, the fourth position in the West changed hands.
First of all, I have to give a thumbs up to the Clippers for their back-to-back performances, as they continue to play at a high level in consecutive games. However, on the day of Leonard's truce, they faced the Thunder, who finished second in the West. Everyone is asking, "Can the Clippers continue their winning streak?"Oh, and the answer is obviously a big "no".
As soon as the game began, the Thunder showed strong offensive power. The stellar performances of Alexander and Chet left the Clippers struggling on the defensive end. The Clippers' Harden, Mann, George and other players tried hard to respond, but still struggled to close the score gap. At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led by six points, and it was just the beginning.
In the second quarter, the Thunder's lead gradually widened. Their fast break and accurate shooting kept the Clippers off guard. Even if the Clippers stars tried their best, they could only watch the point difference widen.
Heading into the second half, Alexander and Chet were even more dazzling, with their back-to-back scoring and brilliant assists almost depriving the Clippers of a chance to fight back. Although the Clippers made some adjustments in the third quarter, the Thunder's offense came in a flood that was almost impossible to resist.
By the fourth quarter, the suspense of the game was largely lost. The Thunder maintained their lead, and the Clippers' main players were unable to return to the court. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Clippers with a score of 134-115.
This game is not only a matchup of winners and losers, but also a severe test of the physical strength and tactics of the Clippers players. Alexander's performance was undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the game, as he not only scored 31 points, but also had eight rebounds and four assists, showing his all-around role on the court. As for the Clippers, this loss cost them the fourth place in the West, and the Kings took advantage of the opportunity.
