Clippers 79-98 Warriors player evaluation: 1 good, 3 passing, 5 collapsed

NBA regular season, the Clippers lost to the Warriors 79-98. In this game, the Clippers were able to hold on to the score in the first half, but they collapsed in the third quarter and were once again widened by their opponents in the final quarter, resulting in a disastrous defeat.

It is a good performance that Harden is the only one in the game. He scored 20 points in the first half, but unfortunately he did not contribute enough after getting tired in the second half. In the end, he scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and only 1 assist. In fact, Harden is very important to the team now. As long as he goes down, the team will collapse, because other players need Harden to drive them, which puts huge pressure on him.

Zubac, Batum, and Collins performed passably. Zubac scored 14 points and 13 rebounds on 7 of 12 shots. Such data is already very good for an inside player. It's just that he has little lethality on the defensive end, and he often misses people when switching defenses, which is a headache. Collins doesn't have much status yet, but he has given an overall boost in rebounding and defense, and he has completed the basic tasks. Batum is still a basic player, especially when it comes to protecting rebounds, his leadership is still very obvious.

Jones, Leonard, Bogdan, Lopez, and Paul all showed collapse. Jones and Dunn were in no shape at all in this game. They were both struggling throughout the game. Jones, in particular, needs his three-point output very much, but he can't support it. Leonard was not in good shape yet. He scored 18 points and 5 rebounds on 7-of-17 shooting, but his plus-minus value was the lowest on the team. The reason for this is that he felt a little uncomfortable being restricted by Moody, and because he lacked passion, he played too sluggishly.

López was useless in this game, scoring 1 of 6 in the game. Such efficiency made him completely lose his lethality. Paul was also ineffective, especially his appearance at the end of the third quarter was of little value. He went 0-for-2 with no points and 2 assists and 3 steals. Now he can hardly score on the offensive end, and he is old and slow. It is inevitable that he will continue to maintain this ups and downs in the future.
