In another NBA regular season game of the 2025/26 season, the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Orlando Magic 101-129 on the road, despite goals from James Harden, Ivica Zubac, and Kobe Brown. Head coach Tyronn Lue stated that his team needs to improve in both defense and tactical execution.
James Harden scored 31 points and had 8 assists for the Los Angeles Clippers in this game, Ivica Zubac contributed 24 points, and Kobe Brown added 9 points and one assist. Following the loss, the Los Angeles Clippers are currently ranked 13th in the Western Conference standings.
Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said in an interview, "I think the problem started with our guards having to withstand the pressure from the opposing ball handler. We have to take the initiative before the opponent's screen comes in, and I think our interior players also need to do better on defense."
“Everything is interconnected. We must reduce mistakes and execute our tactics better. We have improved in the last four or five games, but I think we took a step backward in this game.”
In addition, when discussing Kawhi Leonard's injury, Tyronn Lue said, "He's done some practice and he's definitely improving. I don't know how long it will take for him to return, but he's definitely getting better. It's great to see him on the court these days."
