Home Phoenix Phoenix Suns #23 Cameron Johnson PurpleClippers vs. Warriors: P, Game Thread, Lineups, and How to Watch
There’s this strange phenomenon in sport where a team in a bad way can completely outplay a team in a good way. They can turn up and just completely outhink and outfight the other team, as though the roles we’d seen going into the game were completely reversed for one night only. That’s what we saw when the Los Angeles Clippers took on the New York Knicks. It’s not up to Ty Lue and his squad to make sure it is just one off suns 34 jersey night.
In many ways Sunday night resembled games we saw earlier in the season, when the Clippers were having to deal with health and safety protocols and injuries on the fly. They didn’t shoot the ball well, they were outrebounded, and it felt like everything they tried didn’t come off – while the opposite wasJayson Tatum Jerseys true for their oppositionChris Paul Jerseys. The fact they never led at any point in the contest, and were down by 32 at their lowest point, tells you all you need to know.
Luckily for the Clippers, they have the chance to put it right against the team that started this recent winning run. OK, the following night they did lose to Phoenix, but that win against the Golden State Warriors was all but set to go down as the biggest of the Clippers’ season – that was until they beat their cross-arena rivals twice in the space of a week. The win was still huge though, and it also came at the start of a bad run for Steve Kerr’s squad.

Since that defeat in Los Angeles, Golden State won just one in eight games, with the absence of Draymond Green exposing a multitude of sins. They’ve gone from being the second best defensive team across the league (currently 105.9 through all ga Nike Phoenix Suns #8 Frank Kaminsky Men 2021 NBA Finals Bound City Edition Jersey Black Menmes), cameron payne suns jerseyto the second worst team based on defensive rating through their last eight matchups at 118.0.
