On November 5th, the Thunder challenged the Clippers in an away game. Before the game, bad news came from the Clippers. Kawhi Kawhi could not play today. He sprained his ankle and needed to rest. According to the prediction given by ESPN, the Thunder won by 5.5 points. Without Kawhi, Harden entered the single-core leadership mode again. Can he create a miracle in this game?

Since today is a back-to-back game, apart from Kawhi not playing, Beal is also not playing. This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Clippers. In addition, the team's recent state is not good and there is no good running-in. If you want to win this game, unless a certain player breaks out.

Starting this game, Thunder: Alexander, Wallace, Dort, Holmgren, Hartenstein.
Clippers: Harden, Dunn, Jones, Batum, Zubac.
At the beginning of the game, Holmgren made a three-pointer first, but failed to score. Then Harden started his personal performance moment. His first 3-pointer shot resulted in a foul and the score was 3+1. Well, then he took advantage of his good touch and shot another 3-pointer, which fell into the net. Then, Harden felt that he was in very good condition. He threw the third 3-pointer with his hand and still made it. He made 3 consecutive 3-pointers and suspended the Thunder twice. The score came to 12:2.

Subsequently, the two sides entered a free throw shootout, but both made one of two free throws. Dunn's 3-pointer broke the deadlock, and Alexander followed up with a 3-pointer. Wallace then chased and scored another 3 points. The score reached 16:10, and the Thunder were chasing points very quickly.
Jones responded with 2 points, and Harden changed to a layup this time and scored. Holmgren responded with 2 points, Caruso counterattacked and scored again. The score reached 20:14, and the Clippers immediately called a timeout.

Bogdan hit a three-pointer, Harden scored another three-pointer, Alexander responded with two points, Zubac made a powerful dunk from the basket, Joe scored a three-pointer, Collins broke through and made a floater, and finally, Joe hit another 3-pointer at the buzzer. The first quarter ended with the Clippers 33:23 Thunder.
The game continued. Hartenstein took off from the baseline and scored an alley-oop. Wiggins made a diagonal stab for a 2+1 layup. Caruso once again assisted Wiggins for a counterattack dunk. The Thunder came up and hit 6:0. The point difference was chased to 4 points. At 33:29, the Clippers immediately called a timeout.
At the critical moment, Collins caused a foul and made two free throws. Then he made a layup and scored 4 points in a row, helping the Clippers stabilize the point difference. Dortmund scored a three-pointer, and Mitchell scored again. The point difference was 36:39, and it was 3 points again. What is Coach Lu doing? The Clippers are hanging on in this game!
Game data, Harden scored 17 points, Collins 13 points, Alexander 8 points, and Holmgren 3 points.

Alexander was inconspicuous, and it seemed like he didn't play much, but before he knew it, he filled up the data, scoring 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists in the first quarter.
Caruso is really the Thunder's lucky star. He doesn't score, but he has a way to make his teammates score. His joining has completely transformed the Thunder.
Kawhi Kawhi is off again today. I hope he can come back soon and not let Harden lead the team alone and struggle there, earning more money and doing less work. It is really unjustifiable.
Paul feels really useless now. He is too old and always likes to press the rhythm. Just when the players are about to start, Paul pours cold water on them. This style of play is really not good anymore.
After Lopez came up today, he was beaten 6:0 by the Thunder. His speed was too slow and he couldn't keep up with his feet. He was really not suitable to beat the Thunder.
Zubac's performance this season is not as good as last season. He lacks the domineering power and intimidation under the basket, so Director Lu must activate him.
Collins played really well today. Although he came off the bench, it did not affect his mentality. After the second quarter, he scored 7 points in a row to help the team maintain the lead. Let him start the next game.
Harden really went all out today. In the first quarter, he made four 3-pointers and a 3+1. He scored 17 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter. It was really crazy. But what he didn’t expect was that the lead Harden had worked so hard to build in the first quarter was squandered in an instant. If he continued to play like this, Harden was really tired, not physically, but mentally.

Director Lu has really hindered this team. First of all, in terms of starting, Collins is not allowed to be in the starting lineup no matter what, and Collins is not too concerned. In terms of deploying troops, Director Lu also It's hard to explain in one word. When Harden came off the court, he was completely out of options. All the lineups he sent were for points. He said it would take 10 games to find a suitable rotation. Now it seems that he may not be able to find it in a season.
