On January 29, Beijing time, the Thunder ushered in the game of the Pistons. It was thought that the Thunder, as the No. 1 team in the West, could easily defeat the Pistons, the bottom team in the league, but the process of the game surprised the fans, and finally the Thunder lost to the opponent 104 : 120, ending the winning streak.
And the loss of the Thunder in this game also made many people wonder, because as the leader of the team, Alexander only played 3 quarters and performed well, scoring 31 points and 5 assists. But when the Thunder were only 10 points behind in the 4th quarter, they didn't let him go up to play, is there a so-called conspiracy theory?
After this game, the top 3 in the West are now as follows, with the Thunder in first place 32-14, the Timberwolves in second place 32-14, and the Clippers in third place with 30 wins and 14 losses. And tomorrow, the Clippers will travel to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers, while the Timberwolves will face the Thunder.
If tomorrow the Clippers can win. , their win percentage will overtake the Thunder or the Timberwolves and climb to the second place in the West. Early in the season, the Clippers acquired Harden in hopes of challenging for a championship. After all, the Clippers have never made it to the Finals in their franchise history, let alone won a championship. And Harden is also in urgent need of proving himself, in the Rockets, Nets, the 76ers failed to lead the team to the Finals.
In addition to Harden, including the likes of Westbrook and George, if they can win a championship, then they can make their historical status soar. The Clippers are the best team in the league right now, the team is well-balanced on both offensive and defensive ends, and with leader Leonard, there is a real chance of a championship.
