While the Clippers were ready to work for another win in New York, so were their opponents, as the Knicks have lost three in a row at home prior to this matchup. Perhaps the early-afternoon start time contributed, but the Clippers were unable to build off of their win against the 76ers with a 110-102 loss against the Knicks.
Ivica Zubac immediately made an impact for the Clippers once the game got started, with his patented jump hook getting more consistent as each game goes by. Despite the firepower from players like Zubac and Nicolas Batum, the Knicks were even hotter, having hit seven of their eight attempts from beyond the arc in that quarter alone.
