In this game, the Clippers suffered a heavy loss, losing 115-134 to the Thunder. The reason for the defeat was that they spent too much energy on the body and were porous defensively, which led to being completely suppressed by the Thunder in the second half. Although Alexander had a great performance in the game, contributing 31 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, he didn't show much excitement due to his limited playing time.
Although the game was not too stressful and the two sides were not very intense, the Thunder are becoming more and more potential under Alexander's leadership. In addition, Harden showed his unique charm by signing autographs and giving away autographed sneakers as soon as the game ended. Although he didn't shoot well at the start of the game, even just 1 percent, he quickly adjusted his form and eventually finished with a 7-of-18 shooting.
This shows that Harden has an excellent ability to adjust overall. However, the coordination between Harden and George still needs to be improved, and the two have not been able to coordinate well. In addition, teammates have also wasted a lot of Harden's assist opportunities, which is regrettable. However, Dort excelled in the game, especially on the defensive end, limiting Harden's play.
At the same time, he also played well on the offensive end, scoring 21 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block on 8-of-12 shooting. Therefore, he feels very happy and worth celebrating. The Thunder have won three in a row and currently sit in second place in the West. The Clippers are currently in fifth place in the West due to this loss. But that's not a problem, and the Clippers still have a chance to rise as long as Leonard returns.
What's more, they are just two wins away from the second-placed Thunder, and as long as they keep up their previous performances, they have a chance to rush to second place in the West.
