Tied 64–64 at halftime, the Clippers lost the third quarter 39–26. They won the fourth 27–22, but the comeback stopped short. The takeaway: scoring was there; protecting the ball and getting stops remain the work.

One game is a starting point. A 25-point win gives us plenty to talk about: Garland’s scoring, Lopez’s work on the glass, and a rookie who contributed across the box score.

How our player picks work
Selections use completed Clippers regular-season games only. Most recent game: highest Game Score. Week: highest average Game Score over the last seven calendar days, including today in Pacific time. Month: highest average Game Score in the current calendar month to date. A player must appear in at least half of the team’s games in that window, rounded up. Fewer than three team games makes a week/month pick provisional. Ties: total points, then player ID. These are statistical ClippersDome picks, not official NBA honors or fan-vote results.
Sports data: BALLDONTLIE when connected. Game center checks every 30 seconds while this page is visible; season averages and picks refresh every 30 minutes. Player averages count appearances in completed Clippers regular-season games, excluding DNPs. Provider latency may apply.
