Shameful collapse! The Clippers trailed by 31 points: Harden struggled to hold on with 13+6, Leonard made 1 of 4

On October 23, in the opening game of the NBA regular season, the Clippers challenged the Jazz away from home. All the main players of the Clippers played in this game, but they fell into a passive situation and were directly beaten by their opponents in the paint. The Jazz's 19-2 offensive directly opened the point difference to more than 20 points, and fell behind by as much as 24 points in the first quarter.

In this game, the Clippers started with Harden, Bill, Leonard, Jones Jr. and Zubac, while the Jazz arranged three tall men. Markkanen scored consecutive points, Zubac helped the Clippers score the first goal, and then Bill hit a three-pointer, but the Clippers' interior defense seemed to be in vain, and Kessler scored consecutive points. Harden hit a three-pointer, and then assisted Zubac to score a point at the basket. However, the team suddenly misfired, and the bench made consecutive mistakes. The Jazz seized the opportunity and launched a 19-2 offensive. After the first quarter, they led the Clippers 43-19.

In the second quarter, the Jazz continued their hot momentum. Mykhailiuk hit 2 consecutive three-pointers. Fortunately, Lopez found his touch and hit 3 consecutive three-pointers to prevent the point difference from being widened to 30 points. But after that, the Clippers failed to continue the momentum, and Markkanen scored consecutive points. The point difference has been hovering around 20 points, and the Clippers have been unable to get closer. Harden hit a three-pointer, Zubac scored consecutive points inside, and saw the momentum of recovery, but the Jazz scored another three-pointer, and Sensabaugh hit two consecutive three-pointers, leading the Clippers 78-47 at halftime.

In the first half, the Jazz had no pressure at all. They could shoot whatever they wanted on the offensive end, with a shooting rate of 71.8% and 12 three-pointers. The Clippers were all out of shape. Only Harden and Zubac were normal. Harden scored 13 points and 6 assists, Zubac had 13 points, and Leonard only scored 2 points on 1-for-4.

Four players from the Jazz have scored in double figures, Markkanen has 15 points, Kessler has 15 points, George has 11 points and 7 assists, and Sensabaugh has 10 points.
