The team will need more of the fight that coach Tyronn Lue praised after their 2-2 trip.
After a week that included a heart-warming reunion and a celebratory winning shot, the Clippers return home to face the NBA’s hottest team and one of the Western Conference’s top three teams.
Former Celtics star Kevin Garnett said this season’s team reminds him of the 2008 NBA championship squad. He said they possess many of the same qualities. “They locked in. I’m watching their defense. I’m watching the defensive effort. I’m watching the bench.” One of those things he witnessed Saturday was the kind of fight he saw last year when the Clippers had to play the entire season without Leonard, and 30 games without Paul George, and still managed to reach the play-in games.
