28-point defeat! A humiliating battle for the Clippers: Harden was unable to recover from 31+8, and Tyronn Lue really should be fired.

On November 21, the NBA regular season continued, and the Clippers challenged the Magic away from home. Leonard continued to be absent in this game, and the Clippers fell into a slump. Fortunately, Harden was in good condition. With him constantly scoring points, the Magic's offensive momentum became better and the point difference continued to widen. In the final quarter, it directly opened to more than 20 points, and the game lost suspense. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Magic 101-129 and suffered a three-game losing streak.

Despite the rhetoric at the beginning of the season, today's Clippers are like a mess. Every player is absent-minded on the court. On the offensive end, Harden basically relies on singles without any active running. Judging from the situation of the players on the field, there must be something going on in the locker room. It depends on when this team can make up its mind to make changes, otherwise there will be no chance at all. So far in the season, Tyronn Lue as the head coach still does not have a qualified rotation lineup and always does as he pleases. This time, in the last stage of the first quarter, he directly sent out a dead five lineup of Harden, Paul, Bogdan, Batum and Lopez.

The Clippers' reinforcement operations during the offseason this season were recognized, and they made up for some of their weaknesses. What's surprising is that all these players were lost at once. It is understandable to say that Paul, Lopez and Bill are all old, but Collins is in his prime, but he is still out of tune with the team and has not gotten many good opportunities at all. He was still a player with close to 20 points last season, but now he has lost almost half of it. This time he scored 9 points and 4 rebounds on 4-of-8.

Harden is still in very good shape this season, but it is a pity that he has not received much support. Bill is reimbursed for the season, and Leonard's injury is still kept secret (he has missed 9 consecutive games). This time he played 31 minutes in three quarters, making 8 of 16 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, 10 of 12 free throws, 31 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. He really tried his best. Looking at his teammates, only Zubac scored 14 points and 19 rebounds. Perhaps Tyronn Lue really should get out of class, otherwise he would really have no chance.

In addition to being miserable on the offensive end, the defensive end has also lost the strength of last season. Now it has become that anyone who plays them can explode. This time the Magic directly shot the best three-pointer of the season, making 18 of 34 shots and a shooting percentage of 52.9%. You must know that the Magic only averaged 10 three-pointers per game before this game, with a shooting percentage of 33.3%. Suggs directly hit 5 three-pointers and scored 23 points, Wagner Jr. scored 20 points, Silva 17 points, and Bain 15 points.
