The Clippers defeated the Kings miserably! Leonard Beal misfired, Tyronn Lue failed to respond, and the substitute had too many legs!

In the regular season match between the Clippers and Jazz on October 23, 2025, the Clippers were beaten in the first half of the game and lost by 31 points at halftime. The Clippers were unable to climax in the second half, resulting in the team's 108-129 defeat.

Both Leonard and Bill were misfired this time. Among them, Leonard didn't know how to fight when he was double-teamed on the offensive end. He only made 3 of 9 in the whole game. Such statistics are not what he should reflect at all. In the end, his plus-minus value was the worst in the team, and his offense and defense were both invisible. His performance was too eye-catching.

There is also Bill, whose condition is not good either. The defensive end is indeed very hard, but it is not very helpful to the team. Because he was a three-point shooter, his connection was not very good, which ultimately caused him to have great limitations.

Of course Tyronn Lue is also a big trouble. Especially when his opponent went up to three highs, he did not choose to increase his height, and even asked Leonard to play from behind. How did Leonard beat Markkanen on offense and defense? Moreover, when the opponent insisted on a high lineup, Tyronn Lue would not change the lineup, which ultimately caused the team to fall into a disadvantage again. During the game, Tyronn Lue once used five ups and five downs, and what he replaced were basically old cold legs. In the end, the offense and defense collapsed again. His adjustments in this game were a mess.

Look at the players on the bench, whether they are Batum, Paul, Lopez, Dunn, etc., they are all very old, which will cause them to be very slow, which is another major disadvantage for the Clippers.

Of course, Zubac, Harden and Jones all scored in double figures. Unfortunately, Zubac only had 1 rebound in the half. Even though he scored 19 points on 9-of-13 shooting, it can only be said to be a satisfactory performance. Harden completed the basic task in this game, with 11 assists in the game. This has always been his basic game. He was the best player on the team in the first half. Jones completed the basic task and scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting. But when he encountered a high lineup, his opponent was taller and not slower than him, which resulted in him having no sense of presence in the first half.
