In their recent matchup against the Boston Celtics, despite a valiant effort and an impressive 100 percent free throw percentage, the Clippers fell short with 108 points against the Celtics' staggering 145. This loss highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in defense where they allowed a high offensive points per possession.


The subsequent game saw them scoring 115 points but still facing defeat from Oklahoma City Thunder's explosive offense that put up 134 points. The Clippers showed resilience with a solid field goal percentage of around 47 percent and bench contributions of 50 points but struggled defensively, allowing over one point per possession.

However, in their face-off with Dallas Mavericks before these two losses, the Clippers showcased what they are capable of by securing victory with an impressive scoreline of 120-111. Their offensive efficiency was notable as they led for over three-quarters of game time and achieved an effective field goal percentage above 60 percent.


As we look ahead to their encounter in Toronto, it's clear that maintaining strong defensive pressure will be crucial for the LA Clippers. Fans should watch for how well they can contain Raptors' scoring threats while capitalizing on fast break opportunities which have been fruitful for them in past games.
