Life for the Clippers is really difficult. Due to too many injuries and chemical reaction problems, the Clippers have plummeted this season. The team's ranking has dropped to the bottom of the Western Conference. The team's situation is very bad, and it is likely to miss the playoffs!

In the last game, Harden dreamed of returning to his peak, scoring 55 points to help the Clippers defeat the Hornets and achieve a long-lost victory. At the same time, the Clippers also made clear their goals for this season, refused to mess up, and strived for a spot in the play-offs to hit the playoffs!

The Clippers resolutely refused to mess up. What gave them the confidence was that in addition to Harden's explosion, Kawhi Kawhi was finally coming back!

Kawhi has only played 5 games this season, averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game. His personal performance is still very good, but he missed 10 consecutive games due to sprained foot and knee injuries. This is also the biggest reason for the Clippers' poor performance! Fortunately, after training, Kawhi finally made his comeback in the game between the Clippers and the Cavaliers, and the Clippers also tried to win in a row!

Kawhi is back. The Clippers want to win in a row, but it is not that easy! First of all, the Clippers are back-to-back, or the sixth away game in six consecutive away games. The team is really exhausted, and their physical strength and condition are huge problems! Secondly, the Cavaliers are not weak. They have previously achieved a record of 11 wins and 6 losses, ranking 4th in the Eastern Conference. They are better than the Clippers. They are waiting for work in this game, and they are playing at home, so they have a great chance of winning!

As soon as the game started, Kawhi started the game, but after he made a shot, he returned to the locker room, which surprised and scared the fans. Fortunately, Kawhi returned quickly, and it was just a false alarm. The Clippers also turned against the visitors and gained the upper hand in the game! However, Harden felt seriously bad in this game and missed consecutive 3-pointers from the outside. The Clippers' offense also stalled. The Cavaliers seized the opportunity and launched a 15::4 offensive wave to overtake the score in one fell swoop! The Cavaliers were still strong in the second quarter, blossoming inside and outside, and continued to expand their lead on the court! Seeing that the momentum was not good, Kawhi stood up and made consecutive shots and penalties to help the Clippers catch up. Mitchell and Mobley returned the favor. The two teams fought on the court, and the point difference remained at about 10 points. With Dunn's 3-pointer to stop the bleeding, the Clippers fell behind by 7 points at halftime at 52:59!

After returning from the break, Hunter suddenly broke out and hit consecutive 3-pointers from the outside. The point difference was suddenly widened! Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zubac began to exert his strength and succeeded in consecutive singles in the interior. Harden and Kawhi also attacked the basket to score points. The Clippers relied on their advantage in the interior to chase the point difference to 3 points and saw an opportunity to overtake! At the critical moment, Mitchell stood up and responded with consecutive 2+1s. Then the Clippers' offense misfired, and the Cavaliers blossomed inside and outside. They launched a 20:3 offensive frenzy, directly widening the point difference to 18 points, and the game was ruined! Kawhi and Zubac continued to score points trying to catch up, but the Cavaliers played steadily and always maintained the lead. Tyronn Lue had no choice but to replace the main force and announced his surrender. As a result, the Clippers lost to the Cavaliers 105:119!

They lost by 14 points. In this game against the Cavaliers, although the Clippers played very hard, they were beaten by their opponents at the end of the 3rd quarter and the beginning of the 4th quarter, directly widening the point difference and losing the chance to win!

The Clippers are really helpless when they lose this game. The touch is too bad and the team's physical strength is seriously exhausted! Harden scored 55 points in the game. He obviously had physical problems in this game, and his touch was also extremely bad. He made 5 of 16 in the game and 0 of 8 on 3-pointers. He lost his threat on the outside. His plus-minus value was as low as -15. He was out of shape on both ends of the offense and defense, which was the biggest reason for the loss in this game! But back to back, it's the 36-year-old veteran who scored 55 points in the last game. Harden performed poorly in this game, but you can't ask for more!

Zubac dominated the game. He made 15 of 22 shots and scored a double-double of 33 points and 18 rebounds. He was very competitive in the paint, but the Clippers felt really bad on the outside, which also reduced Zubac to a free-kick!

Kawhi Kawhi came back in this game and scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals on 6-of-13 shooting. Although he was not at full strength, his performance was still comprehensive. It is a pity that his comeback still failed to help the Clippers win consecutive games!

The loss to the Cavaliers was also expected for the Clippers. After this game, the Clippers' 6 consecutive away games ended, Kawhi Kawhi returned, and the team's lineup was quite neat. The team returned to their home court to take a good rest, and their record is expected to begin to improve!
