Recent Trends and Performance


The LA Clippers have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against the Atlanta Hawks, they secured a commanding victory with a score of 131-105. This win was characterized by an impressive offensive display, with the team achieving a 55 percent field goal rate and dominating in points from fast breaks (46 points).

However, this victory followed two consecutive losses where the Clippers struggled to find consistency. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, they faced defeat with a scoreline of 98-116. Their performance was hindered by turnovers (20) and an inability to capitalize on fast break opportunities effectively. Similarly, in their encounter with the San Antonio Spurs, they were overpowered 86-122. This game highlighted challenges in both offense and defense for the Clippers as they managed only a 34 percent field goal rate while allowing 122 points.
