On January 30, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Clippers lost 108-118 to the Cavaliers, ending their five-game winning streak. In this game, the Clippers' interior line was completely blown up by the Cavaliers' twin towers, and the interior scoring and rebounding were significantly behind the opponent.
In this game, the Cavaliers interior Mobley returned after 22 games, and formed an inner twin tower with Allen, both of whom are tall and long-armed, good in offense and defense, and have previously averaged two doubles per game. In the absence of Zubac, the Clippers' interior line was completely unable to withstand the onslaught of the opponent.
Allen dominated the interior in this game, shooting 6-of-9 from the field, 8-of-11 from the free-throw line, and cutting a big double-double of 20 points and 17 rebounds, Mobley, who had just returned from injury, only played 21 minutes, scoring 10 points and 9 rebounds on 5-of-7 shooting.
In terms of rebounds, the Clippers lost 9 37-46, including 6-11 rebounds in the front court, and 46-52 in interior scoring. At least judging from this game, as a team aiming for a championship, the Clippers' interior line still needs to be strengthened.
