It’s not too late for the Clippers yet. On the other side of Los Angeles, where the pressure It is the protagonist every day because of the squad and aspirations that they should have, it seems that they are going little by little. victory of merit in Sacramento (117-131) against some Kings who, yes, they accused fatigueor having played the night before in the Cup against Golden State.
The news, in addition to the triumph, is in the efficiency of the starting quintet. The five players who started signed double digits. Led by a colosal Kawhi Leonardwhich went up to 34 points, both Paul George (19), Ivica Zubac (14), James Harden (26) y Terrance Mann (18), were transcendental in the victory.
With a record of 5-5 in the last 10 gamesfor a total of 8-9, the Clippers are still below expectations. The six consecutive defeats a few weeks ago hindered the start of the season. But the good news is that green shoots are beginning to be seen, light at the end of the tunnel in a thread of hope.
Westbrook celebrates a basket against the Sacramento Kings
Harden, director and executor
He Harden role For the aspirations of these Clippers it is fundamental. With Westbrook leaving from the second unit, ‘the beard’ absorbs the generator function, role that he has done so well for so many years, to make his colleagues better. Being an elite passer in the league, having executors at the level of Kawhi, George or Mann is a gift for him.
Last night6 assists (and 5 steals) with 5/8 from the triple. He has taken on the mantle of leader in attack, the handle to control the pace of each Los Angeles possession. Next to him, a Kawhi who remembers his best moments again. Very good in medium distance and penetrations after bounce. Beyond the starting five, Westbrook finished with 9 points and 8 assistss from the bank. The director of the second unit.
They were of little use 40 points from Fox. The Kings, tired of the game against Golden State that gave them the pass to the quarterfinals of the Cup, they had no resources beyond the base. The Clippers quintet is scary. We’ll see if this victory is a turning point.
