The Clippers’ start to the new year wasn’t all so pleasant: after winning their first against the Brooklyn Nets, they found themselves in a three-game losing streak.
What was more concerning than their losing streak was the team’s offense — or lack thereof, I should say. Without the usual 25 points Paul George logged each night, the Clippers struggled to find rhythm early and, in crunch time, failed to make a dent into the opponent’s lead. What’s more, losing key role players like Luke Kennard to COVID protocols, the team looked, at times, incapable of scoring in high-demand situations.
