However, turnovers remained an issue as they gave up possession 17 times.
Against Charlotte Hornets, the Clippers secured a win scoring 119 points over Charlotte's 117. Their bench again came through strongly with a whopping contribution of fifty points. The team's effective field goal percentage was notable at around 57 percent and they managed to maintain an assist-turnover ratio above two which indicates good ball movement and decision-making.
