The Clippers' 5-game winning streak ends! Small card 30 8 efforts to no avail, Harden 10 assists the key to success or failure!
On January 30, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Clippers withstood the challenge of the Cavaliers. Before the game, the Clippers' latest power list rose to the first place in the league, but this time it didn't even feel very good, and the interior line was also at a disadvantage, seeing that Leonard was going to be unable to hold on, LeVert hit a three-point shot at the whistle, and led by 7 points after the third quarter. The Clippers fought back frantically in the last quarter, but unfortunately it was in vain. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Cavaliers 108-118 to end a five-game winning streak.
In this game, the momentum of the Clippers was not very good, the Cavaliers had an obvious advantage inside, but Leonard was in excellent condition and was able to score continuously, Powell hit 2 three-pointers in a row in a short time, and the Clippers also bit the score in the first half, and the Clippers lost by 4 points. In the second half, the Clippers continued to bite the score, Leonard was in good shape, but unfortunately George and Harden did not feel good, LeVert stepped up and scored consecutive points to help the team establish a lead, and the Clippers trailed the Cavaliers 81-88 after the third quarter.
In the final quarter, the Cavaliers were still in excellent shape, and continued to score points to directly stretch the difference to 10 points, Harden finally hit a three-point shot, Niang broke through and scored, Wei Shao immediately counterattacked and scored, Struser hit a three-point shot, LeVert counterattacked and scored, and the score reached 102-90. Then the Clippers sent a small lineup, but unfortunately the outside felt poor, Harden hit a three-point shot, but Struser hit all three free throws, and then the Clippers continued to chase points, and George committed 6 fouls in the final stage. But the Clippers did not stop, Coffey counterattacked, Powell missed three points, Allen played 2+1 to kill the game, and finally the Clippers lost 108-118.
Losing this game, the Clippers not only missed out on second place in the West, but also fell back to fourth place in the West. It's a pity this time, the team's outside feel is very sluggish, and it is also unable to do it at critical moments, and finally loses the game. This time, Leonard didn't have the skills to recover, scoring 30 points and 8 rebounds in the game, but he didn't get enough support. George scored just 13 points on 3-of-11 shooting and was fouled in the final quarter; Harden had 11 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds on 3-of-8 shooting, Willis had 13 points and three assists, and Powell also scored 18 points.
The Cavaliers managed to win the game, and the inside advantage was still very obvious, Allen scored 20 points and 17 rebounds, and scored consecutive points in the final minute to stabilize the victory. This time, Mitchell also had 28 points and 12 assists as the Cavaliers went on an 11-6 offensive rebound run to take a 46-37 lead. This time, the Cavaliers also scored a lot, with all seven players on the team reaching double figures, which also means that the Clippers will never be able to recover.
