Clippers 107-126 Thunder player evaluation: 3 players were excellent, 2 players were passing, 4 players collapsed

NBA regular season, the Clippers lost to the Thunder 107-126. In this game, the Clippers collapsed in the second half and were widened by Alexander, eventually leading to a loss.

All three players performed excellently. Harden made 7 of 17 shots and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. He really tried his best. Now he needs to stabilize the series while also scoring points. Unfortunately, as long as he leaves the field, the team will continue to lose points. And in the last six games, Harden has 24.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.5 steals, and 45.1% three-pointers. He can maintain a good output in every game. It's a pity that the coaching staff and substitutes are not good enough.

Jones' improvement this year is substantial. This season, he not only has a high shooting percentage, but is also very efficient on the defensive end. He scored 16 points in the game. He can stabilize the offense and defense of the front line. Collins also tried his best, scoring 17 points and 4 rebounds on 5-of-8 shooting, especially 15 points in the first half. Unfortunately, his status is still low. Not only is he unable to appear in the starting lineup, he also doesn't have a lot of ball rights and playing time. This has always been puzzling to fans.

Dunn and Lopez performed passably. Dunn's biggest characteristic is his strong defense. His defense can give opponents a huge sense of pressure. It's a pity that he didn't score a lot today. Lopez's defense is still not good, but his shooting rate has improved a bit today. He scored 12 points and 2 rebounds on 4 of 4 three-pointers. Without him, he might have collapsed in the third quarter. I hope his three-pointers can be maintained.

Zubac, Batum, Bogdan, and Paul all showed collapse. Zubac's finishing efficiency at the basket still hasn't picked up. He scored 7 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals on 3-of-8 shooting. This is obviously not enough for an insider, and it is a huge step back. Batum is also sleepwalking, making 1 of 5 three-pointers, and has no effect on the defensive end. Compared with his previous state, he is indeed declining. Bogdan was only able to score in garbage time, but unfortunately he was still 3 of 8, still unable to have the strength to make a regular rotation. In addition, Paul led the team to collapse when he came on the court. He was defensively lame and failed to score on offense. He was completely useless.
