As the LA Clippers fell to the Suns 130-122, last night (October 26), the unexpected result actually benefits the Clippers. This early into the season, with two big wins, the Clippers needed a wake-up call. The Phoenix game was supposed to be a cakewalk, rather, the Clippers lost and their defense looked unorganized.
The Clippers are the favorites to win the title. Leadership under Kawhi Leonard has been benefiting the Clippers, ego wise and humility wise, but they need him to really take the reigns. Leonard is calm and collected, he has been his whole career.
