The Los Angeles Clippers dominated the Philadelphia 76ers 125-99 in a one-sided matchup. The Clippers’ impressive performance was fueled by their potent offense, which saw six players score in double figures.
From the start, the Clippers asserted their dominance, taking a 37-25 lead in the first quarter. They continued to build on this momentum throughout the game, with their bench players making significant contributions. The Clippers’ reserves outscored the 76ers’ bench 55-29, with players like Norman Powell and Eric Gordon providing a much-needed spark.
The Clippers’ offense was led by Paul George, who scored 22 points on 8-14 shooting. Kawhi Leonard added 20 points, while Marcus Morris Sr. chipped in with 17 points. The Clippers’ offense was highly efficient, shooting 54.3% from the field and 46.7% from three-point range.
On the other hand, the 76ers struggled to find their rhythm on offense. They were led by Joel Embiid, who scored 21 points despite being listed as questionable before the game due to a knee injury. Tobias Harris added 17 points, but the 76ers’ offense was unable to keep pace with the Clippers’ high-powered attack.
The 76ers’ defense was also unable to contain the Clippers’ shooters, who seemed to get open looks at will. The Clippers’ 125 points were the most the 76ers have allowed this season, and it marked the fifth time in the last six games that the 76ers have given up at least 115 points.
The loss drops the 76ers to 9-7 on the season, while the Clippers improve to 10-6. The two teams will meet again in Philadelphia on January 20.
