The Clippers lost to the Suns! Zubac and the substitutes exploded together, Harden was unwell and in sluggish condition, and the rebounds collapsed!

In the regular season match between the Clippers and the Suns on November 9, 2025, the Clippers were too sluggish in the first half of this game, causing them to chase points in the second half. Unfortunately, the Clippers were unable to complete the lead, resulting in the Clippers losing 103-114 to their opponents.

The performance of Zubac and the substitutes this time was still acceptable. Especially Zubac, his previous state was very bad and he was criticized by many people. Not only was he able to finish this game, but his rebound protection was also perfect, and he could also provide some simple support. He helped the team maintain stability at the basket with 21+15 in the game.

Collins's effect is very good. He can help the team maintain the score advantage as long as he is on the court. In this game, he contributed both in scoring and rebounding, and the defensive effect was also very good, with 19 points in the game. However, he is still on the bench, which is a strategy that countless fans are disgusted with. Christie is still a plug-and-play effect. He can seize opportunities in these two offenses and is very active on defense. Compared with other veterans, he is obviously a level higher.

López finally had a good game in this game. He scored continuously during the game and scored 8 points on 4-of-5 shots. As long as he can ensure stable output, his defense is also okay, but the rebound cannot be protected. Batum also completed redemption in the final quarter. He was 0 for 2 at one point, but he scored three consecutive points at the critical moment to help the team cling to the score. This should be the best game this season.

Unfortunately, Harden was unwell this time, which caused him to be in a very bad state on the offensive end. He made 4 of 15 shots from the field. Such efficiency wasted too many opportunities. Fortunately, he had 8 assists in the third quarter and gave a total of 13. His contribution in this aspect is still good. Even in the final quarter, Harden has to continue to be on the court, which consumes too much for him.

Only the team's rebounding data is a defeat. They actually lost 15 rebounds in the game and 18 offensive rebounds. This is the reason why the Clippers are so disadvantaged. There are too few players in the team who can grab rebounds.
