The Clippers are 3-5. They’ve been mostly non-competitive in four of their five losses and are winless away from Intuit Dome.
LA hasn’t had perfect health, but this is a disappointing start for a team that received a lot of offseason hype.
Bradley Beal so far tonight with Kawhi Leonard and James Harden out:
5 PTS
1 AST
1 REB
2/13 FG
1/5 3FG
Clippers will need more from him to pull out a shorthanded win.
Ty Lue says the Clippers haven’t had a chance to really evaluate lineup combinations since Bradley Beal has been limited and Kawhi Leonard missed tonight’s game.
He said they’ll continue to be patient with evaluating lineups.
Clippers get blown out by OKC and fall to 3-4. They lost both games of this home back-to-back.
James Harden had 25/6/6 and was a +2 in 30 minutes. LA’s bench got absolutely destroyed.
Phoenix on Thursday with Kawhi Leonard’s status uncertain.
Ty Lue said he didn’t call a timeout on the final play because he didn’t want to give Spoelstra a chance to set the defense.
“Kawhi didn’t get the shot he wanted.”
