In the game between the Clippers and the Pelicans on November 1, 2025, after the Clippers reversed in the second quarter, they continued to maintain the score lead. It was when the defense made mistakes at the last moment and the opponent continued to chase points. Fortunately, Leonard completed the buzzer beater and won the game 126-124.

Leonard and Harden exploded together throughout the game. Especially Leonard, every time fans question him, he can come back in time. In this game, he showed an integrated offensive and defensive performance, scoring 34 points and 6 steals. Such statistics are already very scary. In addition, there was a winning goal at the last moment, and he once again proved his worth. It's just that playing Leonard like this is still a bit tiring. This game consumes a lot of energy.

Harden is still the team's fundamentals. He showed his comprehensive contribution this time. After all, he scored 24 points and had 14 assists. This is his basic plan. Since the start of this season, Harden has been able to maintain this stable output and provide various air cuts to his teammates. His efficiency is still very good, and they have completely driven their teammates.

And the other three players performed well. Zubac is the basic inside line. He scored 14+11 on 5 of 7. Such data is normal for him. Even on the defensive end, it was still targeted, which is a pity.

Jones and Collins continued to explode together. Collins' defensive effect was very good in this game, and his offensive efficiency was also at full range. He scored 14 points on 6-of-10 shots. His contributions from both offense and defense were very good. After Jones recovered on the offensive end, his defensive end was still basic, with 16+2 blocks in the game. His three-point shooting percentage has really improved this season.

It’s just that Tyronn Lue made a mistake again. Zubac was targeted by the defense at the last moment. If Collins had played in the final moments of the quarter, the Clippers wouldn't have had such a difficult time. Tyronn Lue's ability to adapt and adjust on the court has been reviled. Unfortunately, he just hasn't made any adjustments, which is very disappointing. If they lose this game, Tyronn Lue will definitely take the blame.
