With goals from Kawhi Leonard, Niederhauser, and John Collins, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 115-96 in another game of the 2025/26 NBA regular season, extending their winning streak to two games. Tyronn Lue stated that the team's defense was excellent and they made the right decisions in quick play.
According to the data, Kawhi Leonard scored 41 points and had two assists in this game, Niederhauser scored 15 points and had two assists, while John Collins contributed 15 points for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said, "Like everyone says, it's all about giving it your all and winning. That's the only way forward for us. From a defensive mindset perspective, I think Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr. played exceptionally well. They took the initiative to defend Anthony Edwards. We tried to disrupt his rhythm with some double teams because he can score in every area."
"The opponent set the tone for the game on the defensive end, while on offense, we shared the ball, made quick decisions, and chose the right offensive approach. Kawhi Leonard was able to drive and get to his preferred offensive position. Once he got into position, you knew he was very difficult to guard."
Tyronn Lue noted, "Kobe Sanders hit some very crucial three-pointers after coming on in the third quarter, which I think was very helpful for him, and his performance off the ball was also very beneficial for him. Brook Lopez is very impactful, especially on defense, and the protection he provides under the basket is crucial for us."
"And John Collins is working hard every day, and those efforts are paying off. This was a team effort that was won, and everyone contributed."
