On February 12, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to be fierce, and the competition for the first place in the West was even more thrilling, with the four teams only half a win apart, and the Clippers were about to face the Timberwolves at home, a battle not to be missed. This is a matchup that will decide the ownership of the Western Conference, and the Clippers have updated their injury report, and the whole team is in good shape, and will go all out to win and regain the top of the West.
Previously, the Timberwolves and Thunder suffered back-to-back unexpected losses, allowing the Clippers to briefly climb to the top, but soon lost the top spot after losing to the Pelicans. However, after beating the Pistons, the Clippers regained the second spot due to the losses of the Nuggets and Thunder. Now, they will challenge for No. 1 in the West once again, and if they can beat the Timberwolves, they can regain the top spot.
Unlike in the past, this victory will no longer be accidental, but won by strength. Before the game, the Clippers officially released an injury report, and the whole team was healthy and in good preparation. Zubac's return will provide stronger support on the team inside than he did against the Timberwolves last time out, and while it will still be difficult to limit Gobert and Towns, the performance of the Big Four will be crucial.
In the last game against the Pistons, George finally found his touch, scoring 15 points alone in the final quarter and contributing 33 points to bring the team a victory. George's form has been hampered by injuries before, but it was vital that he could bounce back when it mattered. This time at home, the Clippers are highly anticipated.
The race for the top spot in the West is heating up at the moment, with the Timberwolves, Clippers, Thunder and Nuggets only narrowly facing each other, and the outcome of each game could change the rankings. And this clash between the Clippers and the Timberwolves will determine who will be at the top of the list and who will slip, and the Clippers are expected to show strong strength and high morale.
Overall, the Clippers will be united, give it their all, and will do their best to regain the No. 1 spot in the West. Who do you think will have the last laugh in this game?
