No Norm Powel, no problem as Amir Coffey did a nice job filling in in the starting line-up finishing with 18 which included 4 3's. The Clippers shot the ball well from the floor going 38-77 for 49% and were 11 of 22 from beyond the arc. James Harden got to the line 12 times making 11 as he was fouled shooting 3's 3 times. Where it got ugly for the Clippers was holding on to the ball, turning it over 22 times, 5 each for James Harden and Kris Dunn. Clippers have now won 6 in a row on their home floor.

Norman Powell's absence is a major blow to the Los Angeles Clippers' offense as they face the Orlando Magic. With Powell sidelined due to a hamstring strain, the Clippers must adapt without their 23-point-per-game scorer. Meanwhile, James Harden's recent uptick in scoring efficiency offers a glimmer of hope, as he improves his shooting percentages and continues to contribute with 20 points, 9 assists, and 8 rebounds per game.

The Clippers' 15-game review reveals a mixed bag: a solid 6th in defensive rating but struggling at 21st offensively. The absence of Kawhi Leonard looms large, casting doubt on their championship aspirations. Host Darian Vaziri and guest Jeff Van Gundy discuss the defensive prowess instilled by Van Gundy, highlighting players like Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr. as key contributors.

Will the Clippers maintain their defensive edge and overcome offensive challenges? Tune in with die hard LA Clippers fan and Host Darian Vaziri for an in-depth analysis and insider perspectives.

The Clippers played with a ton of energy on the 2nd night of a back to back leading at the half by 11 as Norm Powell got started early scoring 11 of his 23 in the first half. The Warriors lead by Steph Curry got back into the game in the 3rd as Curry hit 3 3's. The Clippers would weather the Curry storm in the 3rd still leasing by 3 and the end of 3. Norm Powell stayed hot in the 4th nailing 3 of his 5 's in the final 6 mins of the game. The warriors stole the ball with :35 remaining on the clock, they had multiple good looks at tying the game including one from Steph Curry but couldn't get one to fall as the Clippers hold on 102-99
